I have Windows 11 Home and was able to install media player legacy . I was wondering how to play internet radio with it.

Windows Legacy Media Player -> Windows Media Player 12

Found a description of how to upgrade the Windows Legacy Media Player to Windows Media Player 12, viz:

1. Click the Start button, type features, and then select Turn Windows features on or off.
   
2. Expand Media Features and see whether the Windows Media Player check box is selected. If it is, clear the check box.
   
3. Click OK and then restart your PC. This will remove your current version of Windows Media Player.
   
4. After your PC has restarted, repeat step 1.
   
5. Expand Media Features and select the Windows Media Player check box.
   
6. Click OK and then restart your PC. This will reinstall the latest version of Windows Media Player for your system (Windows Media Player 12, with a few exceptions).
   

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work for me. Keeps REINSTALLING the Legacy Media Player.

Am I doing something wrong. Is there a better way. Couldn't find a place to DOWNLOAD Media Player 12.

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

What is the exact error message you get when you to try play files on Windows Media Player?

I suggest you to run both Windows Media Player Library and Settings troubleshooter and check.

Step 1: If your computer is having problems playing video or audio files in Windows Media Player, try using the Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter to fix the problem. The troubleshooter checks the configuration and network settings
for Windows Media Player to make sure that you can play content you've downloaded and saved to your computer, or content streaming over a network or the Internet.

Steps to run Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter are as follows:

• Press Windows key + X and select Control Panel.
• In the search box, type troubleshooter, and then click
  Troubleshooting.
• Click View all, and then click Windows Media Player Settings
  and follow the instructions.

Step 2: If your computer is having problems accessing your collection of digital media files in the Windows Media Player Library, try using the Windows Media Player Library troubleshooter to fix the problem. The troubleshooter makes sure
Windows Media Player is correctly installed on your computer, and checks to see whether your Player Library is corrupted.

Steps to run Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter are as follows:

• Press Windows key + X and select Control Panel.
  
• In the search box, type troubleshooter, and then click
  Troubleshooting.
• Click View all, and then click Windows Media Player Library
  and follow the instructions.
