Windows 10: Windows Media Player: how to organize music

In Windows 7, the Media Player allowed me to organize the music by: Artist or Band name/ song title/ length/ album. In Windows 10 how do I sort the music the same way? Media Player just lists the Artist with the total number of songs, but not the name of each song. I have to open on each artist individually to see what songs are there.

Windows Media Player.

Hi,

Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community.

I would suggest you to check the ‘Windows Media Player’ settings from the steps below.

1. Open the ‘Windows Media Player’, in the player ‘Library’, click on ‘Organize’.
   
2. Select ‘Options’, this will open the ‘Options’ window for the ‘Windows Media Player’.
   
3. Click on the ‘Library’ tab, please confirm if the ‘Retrieve additional information from the Internet’ is checked, check the options ‘Rename music files using rip music settings’ and ‘Rearrange music in rip
   music folder, using rip music settings’ under ‘Automatic media information updates for files’. Click on ‘Apply’.
   
4. Click on the ‘Player’ tab and check the option ‘Connect to the Internet’. Click on apply.
   
5. Restart the ‘Windows Media Player’ and check if it works out for you.
   

Hope it helps.

Music Organizer

OK.

So I need a media player that organizes my music and makes it easy to find it.

If possible go by genre or something.

Thanks

Just a suggestion for Media Player and Groove Music

Have a function under organization to consolidate and delete duplicate music files.
