Message from Steam regarding Steam Music Player:
Thank you for contacting Steam Support.
However, there is no longer an independent music player and you will need to install the soundtrack through Steam.
Additionally, you can access/play the soundtrack through the Steam Overlay.

Thank you, I had no idea it was still possible to return old UI.

[@techodsg]

Glad to help👍

It's still coded in there somewhere, all you gotta do is enable it with a hidden trick which Steam doesn't want to share how to, luckily for us technodsg showed us how.

[@darthvader77813]

It didn’t help unfortunately

[@techodsg]

thanks for letting me know, time to find a new method 🤔😏. Will post another fix when its ready

[@carlossebastiandominguezga8729]

It didn't work for me, I followed the steps but it doesn't appear😥😥

[@techodsg]

Yeah I know, sorry, Steam updated since then, but, see if this one works for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naKklYGAhLV0mrM

Holy shit, You are such a W for posting this.

[@techodsg]

Thanks, you're welcome👍

[@developerdave7775]

when I did it, it just enabled big picture mode. (I am running windows 11 if that helps) I miss my music player damnit!

[@techodsg]

yip, the recent steam update removed the old steam skin. i dont really use the music player, can you perhaps tell me what the steam music player could do that no other music player can?

[@developerdave7775]

@@techodsg Not have to alt-tab out of a game to play music, it gets very annoying very quickly. (it's also memory efficient too compared to various other options)

[@techodsg]

Thanks for that, noted. I will release another video when I get a solution.

[@A-N-I-M-U-S]

And what folder we put music?

[@techodsg]

[@SentinalV]

Thank god, I no longer have to use Window's shitty Groove player within background... Such a pain in the ass to do, and it lags my games if i wanna listen to my own music.

[@techodsg]

Lol, Glad to help 👍

[@SentinalV]

@@techodsg Only thing, if you restart your computer, it switches back to the updated version instead, all you gotta do is just the command in again with the shortcut and it works fine.

Ya lo active pero no me reconoce ninguna musica de mi pc y antiguamente si, a alguien mas le pasa?

[@techodsg]

When opening the music player from the View menu, select the 6 blocks icon in the top right of the music player, the window will disappear, you will see a message: "We've come up empty!@ You might need to set up your music library in settings" Select the "in settings" link to navigate to Settings > Music. Add your music library via the ADD option, add the music directory or songs, then select SCAN NOW in the Settings > Music window of Steam. Additionally, ensure that you can play the files manually from your pc and that they are of a supported steam music format (i.e. mp3) Let me know if this helped, if not, please provide any errors you receive or detailed steps of how you go about adding/configuring your Steam music library

thanks bro

[@serruchobartolome2371]

eres el puto amo XD you are the fucking master man

[@techodsg]

Thanks, glad to help👍

[@cursivecaustico6817]

pues a mi no me ha funcionado.. que lastima

[@JDLT14]

looks like they've removed this workaround. I enter the -vgui and it just loads the new UI as always

[@techodsg]

yip, but i still have a trick up my sleeve, theory, once ready, video drop

[@ployth9000]

did you drop that video yet @@techodsg
