Windows 10: Is there a way to "cast" my music on my phone to my PC?

I used a webpage/app called Weezzler but its no longer supported, as a optional preference I would like it to have keyboard support to change the songs.

Unable to Cast to Device to my Smart TV

Thanks Bree.

The other similar thread to this says 'Cast to' used to work to a Samsung TV but now it doesn't. This would imply something is 'wrong' with our Win 10?

Can anyone suggest some more troubleshooting steps to try to determine what the issue is?

 

Wrong file order when 'casting' music to my devices.

Thanks Ric.

I am only really interested in my Musaic MPL which is a Qualcom Alplay device able to play 'any' file. I have however tried casting it to my Ruark R2 (an Undok device) or my Samsung TV (system?) or my Pioneer AV amp (system?) but the playing order is wrong
on any of them so it does not seem to be related to the equipment.

I tend to cast the whole folder initially and then add folders or tracks to the cast-list. Sometimes it works perfectly and sometimes it does not. I played about 8 hrs of music yesterday without any problems and then I couldn't get it to play in order.

My file structure is generally something like: This PC/Music/FLAC/Classical/Mahler/Symphony No 5/04 Adegietto.flac

Casting from the 1st column of Explorer tends to be fairly reliable but casting from a lower folder level, in the next column, is definitely less reliable. Adding files OR folders to an existing cast-list is also unreliable no matter how I select them.
If I select a bunch of individual tracks and drag them to the cast-list it very often fails to play sequentially and/or the file order gets messed up.

Yes, I can certainly rearrange the playing order by dragging the files around the cast-list but obviously I don't want to do that for everything I play. When you add files, they are usually not even visible because they are way down the cast-list. If you
try to do it later, it is all too easy to mix up two similar folders when the next bunch of files starts with a high file number. For example, one CD may be tracks 01 to 07 and the next CD may, wrongly, start with 08 which is almost impossible to spot if
the filename is similar.

 

What exactly are are "My music", "My Pictures" and "My videos"
