Windows Media Player... Alternatives

[Chislenko]

So after years of carrying on with my old XP pc I decided for the sake of internet security it was time to buy a new computer with Windows 11.

I transferred all my stuff over including my music.

However it appears on the latest version of Media Player you can make a playlist but you can't export it to a USB, you have to find the file location of each individual song and send them one by one to the USB.

Furthermore there is no edit facility to remove duplicates.

Anyone suggest a better programme to use?

Thanks in advance.

I use VLC too, not sure why the logo is a traffic cone, been a traffic cone for years on end.

From the blog of Jon Lech Johansen, one of the developers of the VideoLAN client project (which later became VLC):

If you use VLC, you might have wondered what the hell is the cone for?
One day, people from the VIA association (VIA is a students’ network association with many clubs … amongst those is VideoLAN) came back drunk with a cone. They then began a cone collection (which is now quite impressive I must say). Some time later, the VideoLAN project began and they decided to use the cone as their logo.

Ife often wondered that. Could it be because its the favoured media player of the dibble?
