Music in 10 tect preview
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 ? |

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) |

Thoughts on this ? 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. |

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....... |
