Hello!
I used Groove Music.
Today, I received the new Media Player which replaced Groove Music.
It correctly found my music and videos as I have included them in the Libraries.
Unfortunately, it is buggy.
For instance, when I click on Artists, it says that it could not find any content.
Also, it stucks when I click on an artist or album
Do you have similar issues?
Should I just wait a little bit, maybe they are going to provide updates and fixes?
I have tried resetting the app 2 times, but still the same problems.
EDIT [19.5.2022]: There was some improvements in my experience with Media Player.
Some day ago, the Media Player started anew. FIrst, it scanned again from scratch my Music library.
For 5-10 minutes, it used a lot of CPU and RAM. Then when it was done, I could see the Artists and it did not say that it couldnt find any music.
But still it is not completely stable. Very often, when I click on an Album or Artist, it freezes or crashes.
So, still I am anxiously waiting if it will get stable in the future.
But for now, I am happy that I can listen to music again.
DId this update also happen to you?
EDIT [11.9.2022]: Overall, my experience with Media Player has improved a lot.
Now, I can play all my music.
There are now 3 issues remaining as I can see them at least:

I would say this is the most basic of all music players you could download. It looks like it was the product of Redmond High School's computer science class project.
I need to rip CDs to .mp3 (my vehicle only has bluetooth and USB A and C). Guess I lost this tool with the new media player 11.
Yeah, Microsoft got the bugs worked out of the Groove player a long time ago. It worked very well. I can understand wanting to redo it because it no longer had its own music service, but why mess with something that worked?
mine doesnt crash, it just wont see my music
