Question

I’m developing a Media Player for Windows 8 and I need to read all the music in the Windows Media Player media library.

How I can do that in WinRT C#?

Thanks

Answer 1

you need to select Music Library contract in Appmanifest>Capabilities which will allow you to get all music file’s in the User’s music library. But the user can always decline your app the permission to use the Music Library.

        var folder = Windows.Storage.KnownFolders.MusicLibrary;
        var files = await folder.GetFilesAsync();
