Windows 10: Default Music Player Issues

Hello!


As a Microsoft user, I noticed that all my mp3 files open up with Apple's iTunes software rather than Groove music. I figured it would be an easy fix by just resetting Groove to the default music player, but it turns out that Groove was already the default. That's where I'm a bit confused...all mp3's have the iTunes icon instead of Groove, and I specifically have to select "Open With" in order to use it. Any solutions?


Thanks!

Default Music Player

Hello,

I want to assign my keyboard's launch music player key to Spotify on win 10. For this I need to either assign the media key to the program somehow, or change the default music player.

The default music player is Groove and this is the one that starts when I press music player button. I cannot change the default program to Spotify, because it does not show up in the list when I go to default programs > music player. It suggest I search
in the store, so I downloaded store version of Spotify as well, and it still doesn't show up there.

So how do I either change the behaviour of the music launcher key, or change the default music player to a program that does not show up in the list of music players under default programs.

Hi Benjamin,

We appreciate you for being part of Windows 10 and sorry for the delay in response.

Try the steps and check if it helps.

Step 1:

• Open Start menu, type change default app for each file type in search bar and open it.
• Here you can match the Name and App which you want to use and try to click on App which you want and make it as default.

Step 2:

• Open the File location (file which you want to make the Music bee as default player).
• Right click on any music file (Any music file type mp3/any other format which you wish) and select
  open with from the list and click on Choose default program.
• Select the Music bee app and make it as default player.

If you still face the same issue, the file type which you are trying to set Music bee as default player may not have supporting format. You may check with the Music bee app publisher website to check for the supported file formats.

Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

Thank you.

"someone f****d about with my laptop, they seem to have moved music to aforesaid Groove..."
The Groove library works like WMP's. You can choose which folders it looks for music at startup. Open Groove, hit the gear setting in L column (see screen). If you click 'choose where . look for music', likely the default is your entire This PC/Music folder. If you delete all the folders, there will be no music on the interface when it opens. But if you really want to use WMP, follow the above suggestions on how to make it your default player rather than the current Windows 10 default of Groove.
