New Win 11 Media Player

I've finally done it. I've... crossed over.
Windows Media Player is gone, and Foobar 2000 is "in like flint". :D
The music even "sounds" better than when using WMP.

No hard feelings but Foobar always looked like something someone would find in Windows 95. I don't use the new Audio/Video Windows Media Player. However, it looks like it's catching up with the times. Now, what I prefer is JRiver Media Center (and yes, I proudly purchased the product).

OMG I figured it out. I compared the post Win 11 mp3 files vs the ones I had from Win 7... This is so trivial Im laughing. If the MP3 does not have indexing checked, the meta data of the file wont display in the player. The fix is simple:

Select MP3 file(s), right click, Properties, Advanced then check the box "Allow this file to have contents indexed in addition to file properties". Ok and apply. Presto! All the song info is visible in the music player.

I'll mention this cause it could help someone else: I have my MP3 folder set to be indexed but if the individual files are not set to be indexed it breaks the information being displayed in the music app.

So it may not be a bug. Its that MS is maybe shifting gears on how meta data is read and stored, relying more on Windows Search (indexing). Meanwhile older apps like WMP reads the file properties directly.

If you edit the file properties within the music app the information is saved in the files properties. So that works the same as WMP. But again if the file is not set to be indexed, well, you get it.

I'm sorry, I know this has been posted a long time ago but, since I reinstalled my Windows 10 copy, Groove was behaving weirdly, and I finally found why because of this post.

THANK YOU! You are a life saver!

Right on! Im so happy the information was able to help you. MS Photos has a similar problem with non-indexed folders and displaying images full screen. Submitted a bug report for that one also on MS Feedback Hub.

All seems the same to me, no UI changes or new upgrades. Perhaps, at least on my end, it seems like things are quicker when I open a file to play a video or music.

Look, if the room that I listen to music in looks trashy or looks retro then I wouldn't mind apps looking like they were from 1995. So, yes, visual appearance will always conquer over quality and functionality. I like to focus equally on the following:
  • visual appearance
  • great sound quality
  • Functionality.
