Microsoft starts replacing Groove Music app with Windows 11 Media Player on Windows 10

Microsoft launched a new media player for Windows 11 devices last year, replacing the years-old Groove Music app. But starting today, Microsoft is also rolling out the Windows 11 Media Player app to Windows 10 users. The Groove Music app will be replaced by a new media player app that will be available on Windows 10 PCs.

Microsoft has been testing the new Media Player app with Windows 10 Release Preview Insiders for weeks, so it’s no surprise to see the app finally making its debut in a stable Windows 10 build. The media player application is available through updates. If you're running Windows 10, you'll now see an update to the Groove Music app on the Microsoft Store, and installing it will bring the modern media player app to your PC.

However, you don’t have to worry about losing your Groove Music playlist after converting to Windows 11 Media Player. Whatever playlists you have on the Groove Music app will automatically be available on the new Media Player app. It's worth pointing out that on Windows 10, after installing the new Media Player app, you'll still see the Movies and TV apps, which is odd since both apps can play videos.

The new media player application complements the fresh look and feel of Windows 11. But more than that, it comes with tons of features. These include the ability to quickly browse and play music and create and manage playlists, a dedicated Play View feature with album covers and rich artist images, full support for browsing, managing and watching local video collections, and more. You can also rip CDs using the application.

All the features mentioned above can also be found in the new media player app launched for Windows 10 users. However, the app may not be available to all Windows 10 users today, and if you still don't see it, you should wait a few more days.
