So, just for some laughs I tried this thing. Of course Windows Media Player and Groove Music as well, both supergarbage at what they are supposed to do.

I massacred my Windows 11 install, butchered it into a bleeding redmond corpse by removing every preinstalled app etc etc. Have you tested the new Media Player, what do you think about it? It remains unclear whether the app will also be available for Windows 10, but since the Groove app is being replaced, one can only assume that the Media Player will support the old operating system. I'm guessing that the search indexing still points to the older version because the Store app uses the same listing. Even more oddly, searching for Groove Music lists the new Media Player in the results. The Start Menu lists the app as Media Player, but Windows Search does not recognize the name, it displays the legacy Windows Media Player as the result. Those are the only flaws in the app, otherwise it's quite good for playing local media files. The mini-player cannot be resized beyond a certain point. I would have preferred a button to toggle the sidebar. to just display the icons, increase the size or maximize the window to bring the labels back. You can resize the app's window to collapse the sidebar labels, i.e. There doesn't seem to be any notable changes in the player since the first release. But, now that the app works on the Windows 11 stable channel, it is only a matter of time before Microsoft makes the news official.

You may have noticed that the program's title says Media Player Preview, because it is still being tested. The new Media Player is ready to use, you can find more about its features in our previous article.
