Different behavior of FLAC and MP3 files when playing them via the context menu

[Ralf Brinkmann]

Something that's been bothering me for a while:

When I select multiple .flac files, I can click the context menu button, then press the letter "W" twice for "Wiedergabe" in the German menu, which takes me to the "Wiedergabe auf Gerät" submenu where I can select the target device.

When I try to do the same with .mp3 files, I only get as far as the first "W," then the Windows Media Player starts immediately and plays the file(s) on the PC.

Is there a solution for this?

And Windows Explorer acts differently?

Oh, good question. Yes, the Windows Explorer acts differently.

Which Windows? Which XY?

Can you show screenshots of the XY menu and the file explorer menu for MP3?
