The Media Player media player that Microsoft has developed in Windows 11 to replace the discontinued Groove Music as the default app for playing music and video, can also be used on Windows 10 operating systems.
The oldest of the place will remember when Windows 3.0 arrived in 1991 with a player that had multimedia extensions. It was called the same as the new one we are talking about today, Media Player. The app evolved with each new version of Windows, and Microsoft renamed it Windows Media Player.
The development was improved to support more video formats, playback of DVDs when they arrived on the market, music display and support for streaming media. Many of us use it for its integration with Windows, its ability to copy and burn CDs and DVDs, or transfer music tracks from a CD to a computer. But its development ended in Windows 7 and Microsoft thought of Groove Music as a replacement, but like another player, Movies and TV, it has passed unnoticed.
For Windows 11, Microsoft has produced a new player that fortunately follows the classic Windows Media Player approach. brought up to date with ‘modern’ design of the system. It works as a music library to browse, search and play music (including videos), as well as create and manage playlists, and it has support for full screen view and also a mini player, as well as keyboard shortcut support. to improve accessibility features. It can also burn CDs if you still use them. At least it’s a decent development. It is still in the improvement phase, but it promises.
