  1. Anyone know why Groove Music and Windows Media Player don't find all my music?


    I have my music as OPUS files in several folders, organized by Alphabetical order. Some of the songs in there are M4A and AAC files.

    Now I know that these apps can play OPUS files; both have played them with no issues when I opened the track/file "manually" but the issue is that Groove Music and Windows Media Player only find like less than one-fifths of my music files. On top of that, they only seem to add M4A and AAC files.

    So what gives? Will they add every type of music except OPUS files?

    Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

    Just a slight correction :
    Windows Media Player is listed in All apps > under alphabet W but not under Windows Accessories.

    Not on my PC, which is a clean Windows 10 install. It is in the Windows Accessories folder as I indicated. Doing a search for "Windows Media Player" should also allow launching it.
