Microsoft makes it easier to play audio CDs in Windows 11

Microsoft recently released Windows 11 build 22579 to Windows Insiders in the Dev channel. The new version focuses on improving existing features such as folders and touch navigation on the Start menu. Additionally, it brings a new media player version with an unexpected change: audio CD support.

Compact discs are no longer everyone’s favorite way to play music. Still, some old-school customers continue to buy these artifacts. Additionally, in 2021, for the first time in two decades, U.S. CD sales increased from 31.6 to 46.6 million. If you are one of those people who loves CD music, you will be happy to know that you can now play audio CDs using the new media player app in Windows 11.

Microsoft has added audio CD support to the new Windows 11 Media Player app in version 11.2202.42.0. The program will display an "Audio CD" entry in its menu, allowing you to play music from the inserted disk. Other changes in the latest version improve theme switching and media content drag-and-drop experience.

It’s worth noting that Media Player isn’t the only app in Windows 11 that works with audio CDs. You can also use the older version of Windows Media Player Legacy, which is still available in the latest Windows 11 version. With the latest update to the new media player app, users can use one more app to play music from discs.

Currently, audio CD support in the Media Player app is only available to Windows Insiders, but it should make its way to the stable channel soon.
