Music in 10 tect preview

[John Szalay]

since this version does not appear to have media player, but does play
music in an app called "Music", If I minimize music, to work and keep the
music playing in the background, the music pauses , is it not possible to
keep it playing while working on something else ?

Thoughts on this ?

I have Windows Media player also. I have not tried to reproduce the
effect with the Music app, but thought that it kept playing also. I
don't think I secondarily installed WMP and think it came with. (Build 9879)

Windows Media Player has been a bloated piece of junk since almost forever,
and I have nothing good to say about "apps" at all. Replace them with
something better and move on. I use Media Player Classic - Home Cinema
(MPC-HC) for all of my videos and Winamp for audio.

thanks for you opinion,
I rarely watch videos, but I do like to have music playing while I work
on the computer, and don,t have a lot of physical room available
for a boombox, or don,t like the MP3 player at the except when I am doing
yard work or traveling So a music player that will work minimized on the
desktop computer is a plus.. media-player or winamp.. whatever..
just want something that works with Win10 seamlessly..

My thought: have you tried *not* minimizing the Music app and just
bringing up the other app or program you want to work with?

You can try fubar2000 as the music player; you can even minimize it
to the taskbar while it's playing. Don't know if it works with win 10
but it should. I'm not able to try it with win10 as win10 or hyper-v
don't understand usb dac/amp for audio.

The win 10 build I'm using don't do .flac audio.

Shouldn't matter whether the app is minimize to the task bar or not
if programmed correctly. The poster should just get the fubar2000
for just audio; even something like vlc would work when minimized.

The "Music" app must be another msft bomb even if win 10 is an alpha
product or is that a pre-alpha for developers' to work with.......

Just do what almost everyone has always done: use a music player that *does*
do .flac. Who really cares what Windows supports.

That works, so far no issues with it, will remember that when the full
varsion of 10 rolls out, if I need it.
now on to any other issue, hope someone from the microsoft team is
noting these.

another topic.. time.

There's no one from "the microsoft team" here. If you have TP10 feedback,
you'll have to provide it via the channels they've set up. This isn't one of
them.

fubar2000 does .flac audio but win 10 don't see my usb audio unless
hyper-v didn't pass the info to win 10.

You might try spelling it correctly if you're going to recommend it.
It's called "Foobar2000".

I haven't seen anybody else misspell it but you. You don't provide a
link, and if anyone tries to find something called "fubar2000" they're
not going to find it because it doesn't exist.

If you're trying to be helpful, then spell it right. If you're trying
to be a troll, then keep on doing what you're doing.

By the way, no version of Windows innately "does .flac audio". They all
need an additional codec, which is true of most formats.

Experiment: Google for fubar200

Result:

"Showing results for foobar2000
Search instead for fubar2000"

....followed by lots of hits for foobar2000, the first of which is
"www.foobar2000.org/"

Right, they'll find "Foobar2000", but they won't find the mythical
product that was recommended to them, "fubar2000".

Now, suppose you wanted an app for your mobile device so you could hook
up with the nearest women who's husbands neglect them by playing on
their computers all day. Due to my mis-spelling, you might buy
"Microsoft Windows" rather than "Microsoft Widows". You would be very
disappointed.

Then windows don't do "mp3" either nor "mkv". But then I don't use
the word "definately".

Either way I'd be very disappointed, I already have Microsoft Windows
amd I've found that very few Microsoft Widows are interested in homely,
elderly, fat, bald guys with no money.

I did a search on the flac situation, and someone has confirmed
that leaked build 9910 (not yet available) has some new codecs. I
caught up on my preview updates (2.8GB download), and most
definitely did not get 9910 (ETA Jan22?). So I will have to
wait until that particular minimum version is available to
do my FLAC test once again. The Win10TP I did get to test,
WMP simply turned up its nose at the presence of a
couple of FLAC files. And the "MUSIC" application,
claimed I had "no music in my Music folder". So it
didn't like my .flac files either. (These were sample
Flac files provided on some site for testing.)

Third party tools will play them, so they do work,
eventually.

Both FLAC and MKV support are supposed to be in the
same release. But time will tell.

When this announcement was made a while back, I thought
the very next release would have them. But, no...

Nice try, but you don't convince me. Maybe I'm just not as stupid as
your putative "they"...

In the context where you wrote it, I don't understand the word "who's".
It's as weird as, say, fubar2000. Could you explain it to someone as
stupid as I?

Not if she's in the UK, I'm in the US, I get seasick, won't fly and
can't swim that far.

But I very much appreciate the offer!
