New Win 11 Media Player

Edwin · Jan 20, 2022

You have to Sideload it in Windows 10, kind of a p-i-t-a but it works.
I ain't lettin it monitor any of my folders though!!! :wink:

Not yet, anyway!
Just like any other non-native app, it's slow to load and glitchy switching modes..., other than that, it's a refreshingly clean UI that works fairly well, so far, and sounds great.

Yeah, I have a lot more vinyl albums, CD's and even some 45's but they're all in storage down in Florida.

I never collected 45's, instead opting for the albums. Anyway, my mother had a bunch of 45's, and when she passed away, I took them all. They're currently stored in my garage, though most of them are in bad shape so I need to go through them.

I had about 12 Milk Totes full of LP's but lost most of them to a basement flood in the late 1990's!
I salvaged a number of them, just the discs, the sleeves rotted, had them professionally cleaned but even now some of the labels show signs of mold!

All my music... my ears are only rated at .mp3 these days. :)

I know and like thousands and thousands of other songs, but I'm lazy.
These days... I can find just about any song on youtube, and if I want a copy of it... I can just use Audacity (free) to "record" the audio while it plays on youtube. Then I just export the recording as an .mp3

It's still listed as Groove Music..., version 11.2112.40.0

Odd I don't have it listed, which version of Windows 11 are you running?

Gom Player or Daum Player are my goto All in One Choices. VLC Player works great too. Plus these are not tied to the Big Corporations. Personal Opinion.

Yummy sample..., 0:44 invokes a bowel movement!!! :scream:

Incapable of playing DVD's or CD's let alone ripping CD's!
(Won't play URL's yet either!)

YEAH, YEAH, I still play CD's on occasion! I'm old school, so what!

Dch48 · Jan 23, 2022

I play CD's too and I hadn't noticed it can't do that. I'm sure that will come.

I think, in it's current state, it's merely a fetch-n-play 'piggyback' app!
It's seems to be heavily integrated with WMP and the Windows Media engine...

Edwin · Jan 24, 2022

I think what intrigues me about this app is that it reminds me of the Winamp beta project!
Hope MS doesn't bum everybody out with another lame attempt!

That's why I like Foobar2000. I noticed in my 3rd party firewall... it doesn't even try to call home.
I think it was @Edwin who told me to switch to Foobar2000, a year and a half ago... I should have listened. ^^

Questions.
1. Is the position in the video file being played memorized after exiting the player?
2. Is there support for H.265/HEVC out of the box?
3. Is it possible to play streaming videos?
