Music lovers, you will soon be able to bring out your good old CDs to use them on Windows 11!
Windows 11 goes back to the past
Microsoft has been releasing a slew of new features for Insiders for some time to experiment with the future of its operating system. For example, we had recently been able to see that the Redmond firm had implemented ads in File Explorer, although this should never have been made public in the end.
But today’s new arrival is the Media Player, which recently replaced Groove Music. Indeed, if we refer to the new features brought by build 22579 of Windows 11, reserved for Insiders therefore, the Microsoft player should soon welcome support for audio CDs. Indeed, the application will allow you to see the mention “Audio CD” directly from the menu. Thus, you can easily start playing your favorite albums from your PC, just like in the good old days.
As a reminder, this is not the one and only application capable of playing your audio CDs on Windows 11. For example, this is already possible for those using the old version of Windows Media Player, this one. ci being always accessible on Windows 11. But at a time when discs are on the way out, giving way for many years to music streaming services , having a new application capable of playing music from our discs optics is a small pleasure that cannot be refused.

- Graphical redesign of the successful interface
- Improved Snap
- Effective anchor groups
To be completely honest, Windows 11 seems to us to be a good evolution of Windows 10. Beyond the very marketing aspect linked to the surprise effect (Windows 10 was presented as the last of the last, remember) and to the mainly graphical redesign of the interface, the update brings a bit of clarity and modernity that are welcome after six years spent with an OS designed to reconcile Microsoft and its audience. We also like the discreet details that make it more functional, such as the improved snap and anchor groups, or even the refined management of virtual desktops. Finally, we are really convinced by the redesign of the Microsoft Store. By agreeing to return to the exclusivity reserved for UWPs, Microsoft is effectively hitting where it is not expected and finally compels itself to catch up on Apple and Google.
