In this article, we explore the possibility of Windows Media Player taking on Apple Music at the upcoming WWDC event. While Apple is set to unveil its latest products, including a VR headset, Microsoft has an opportunity to make Media Player a competitor to Apple Music with the release of Windows 12 and the revival of Media Player in 2022. Windows Media Player was once a popular software for playing audio and video files on PCs but was eventually overshadowed by iTunes. However, with the revival of Media Player, Microsoft has a chance to bring it back to the forefront as a one-stop-shop for all media-related needs on Windows devices. They could partner with major platforms to create a Windows Music Store and implement an AI subscription service that curates playlists based on user data. By expanding into podcasts and audiobooks, Microsoft can give Apple Music a run for its money.
