The brand new Windows Media Player for Windows 11 keeps evolving, and merely not surprisingly, Microsoft uses the Windows Insider program to test new ideas before they go love everybody.

The most recent preview build of Windows 11 comes alongside a brand new version of the Media Player. The new version is 11.2203.30.0, and can be installed today by users within the Dev channel.

In terms of what's new in this Media Player update, Microsoft says it has specifically refined the artist page to make it easier for users to browse their collections.

"You are now able to switch between two different thoughts about the artist page when browsing your collection. One view teaches you all of the albums inside a grid; another shows all the songs, grouped by album. We've also added quick actions to albums, artists, videos, and playlists when you hover them over for convenient selection and playback," the organization explains.

Notable performance improvements

Simultaneously, the updated app gets a context menu within the now playing screen.

"There's also now an opportune context menu available if you right-click on the now playing screen. From here you are able to open new files without navigating to a different page. You may also quickly access the album page and the artist page for your current song. We've added a new "video enhancements" feature too, which lets you adjust the brightness and contrast of the video," Microsoft says.

And also to any or all these new capabilities, the software giant can also be concentrating on the particular performance from the app. This latest update therefore introduces additional refinements designed to result in the app snappier and much more responsive on devices with large collection of music.

Quite simply, Media Player should certainly be faster when loading large music libraries, Microsoft says.
