There is another way that works as well and you don't have to dig into the settings. It gives you control of which music player plays a given codec. Open your music folder On a individual music file right click it at the bottom on the dialog box that opens click properties, in the dialog box that opens look for the box that says Change click this box. It will bring up the choices you have for playing this file. click the player you wish to use for this music file, you want to use, click on the icon for Windows Media player and that makes every music file on your Laptop that uses this file codec WMP as it's default player. When your make your choice at the bottom of the :"change Box" click Apply, then OK, done. This is a handy way of doing this because as good as Window Media Player is is does not play all music such as MKV, OGG, APE files natively. I would suggest you load the music player Foobar2000 it will play all music files, it does not do videos. it is a free music player that does not take up much space on your system.

Is there any music player like winamp but can search within a playlist to let you que up songs to play before the other items in the list you are playing? Or instead of duplicating files in a list to get them to play more you can just raise their shuffle priority?

So many music players hate winamp playlists or can’t handle drag and drop to make a new playlist or just have screwy UI(music bee/ AIMP seem half broken), I’m almost desperate enough to try itunes again, from when I had a Itouch it was not that bad..well importing/exporting playlists was dumb now that I recall..

The only other music player that I kinda liked was mediamonkey but it was kinda bloated, tho since I am no longer needing to run foobar as a thing for podcasts since I used plugins to resume multi hou long pod casts, I may can try it…but I dunno.


I don’t care about tagging,ect I go mainly by file name, queing songs or playlists to play one by one before going back to the main inf repeat shuffled playlist you are playing would be nice but audio balancing/replay gain to try and keep audio levels balanced is kinda a must as is easy of drag and drop to make playlists.

"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.
