Windows 11 keeps updating its apps, adding little things here and there. If you have music CDs at home, you will like one of them…
Even if you don’t recognize it Windows 11 has not been the success that Microsoft expected. In the latest Steam survey it is revealed that it is barely present in 21% of gaming PCs.
So Microsoft is taking back some old features you removed from Windows 10 to add to Windows 11and thus attract users.
Last March it reintroduced CD playback to the media player, and now with the latest update for insiders, it brings back from oblivion a feature that was popular a decade or two ago, but may not have been used for a few years. years: music CD ripping. You remember?
It was called “ripping CDs” convert the music that comes on music CDs into digital filesto listen to the songs without using the CD.
Decades ago it was frowned upon and even considered piracy, but now record companies don’t care if they rip their CDs, if it is for personal use and you have the original, then almost all of your earnings come from streaming. Even vinyl already generates more money. so shortly Windows 11 will include it natively.
As we see in this screenshot provided by Microsoft itself, CDs can be copied to WMA, FLAC, ALAC or AAC formats:
Another good news is that default playback of local video files will not be carried out with the Movies and TV application as before, something completely incomprehensible, but with Windows Media Player.
There are more news in the update of apps. The camera app reaches version 2022.2206.2.0, equating its interface to that of Windows 11, while adding a useful novelty: from the application itself can be scanned QR codes and barcodes.
In summary, they are small novelties, but it must be recognized that they are quite useful.
As we have mentioned, these versions are already in the hands of Insiders, so if nothing goes wrong they will reach Windows 11 users in a matter of days.
