Windows 10: New Windows media player Windows 11

Hello! Before a few days, I get a new update with Media Player. When I set a directory for music from my EXT HDD for the library, music starts add-in library. But after a few minutes, all disappear and back to the start screen. I recently use Groove Music from the start of Windows 10 and a few months on Windows 11 without problems...Please help!Thanks in advance!

New Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox

Anyone who uses Windows Vista and Mozilla Firefox may be pleased to hear that the Windows Media Player team has now released a plugin for Firefox that should allow the browser to play WMP content on websites. Here are the steps to get it working:

• Installation of the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin may require administrative access to your PC. It is recommended that you close all other open browser windows before continuing with the installation.
• Click the Install button to automatically download and install the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.
• Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog box. Click Install to install the plugin.

There is a known issue if you are using Firefox version 2.0.0.3 on Windows Vista with the installer failing with error code -203. To work around this simply restart Firefox (you will get a notification that Windows Vista will be changing the Firefox compatibility settings) and then install again - the second time should succeed.

The download is available here, and the new plugin works on all versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista (although it is mostly intended for Vista, as that currently has no WMP support in Firefox).

Windows Media Player 11 in June

Although we have to wait for the new Microsoft Vista OS, new version of Windows Media Player 11 will be available before the end of June. The XP version won't have all the features of its Vista successor, but the company won't say which features will be excluded. I guess we have to wait for a public test version and see what's included. With the new media player, consumers will be able to "reverse sync," meaning they can send content from a digital device to a PC. Another change is the ability to alter protected music and video files to change their quality level. With the new software, protected Windows Media files can be converted to smaller file sizes for playback on mobile devices. The biggest no go is that Windows Media Player 11 won't allow conversion of purchased Windows Media Songs into Apple iPods. So songs bought from a Windows Media store still won't play on the iPod.
