Different behavior of FLAC and MP3 files when playing them via the context menu
Posted: 03 Nov 2025 14:08
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?
