I notice that I can't add Media information to my Music as I could in the past. When I had Windows 95, 98, and XP, this could be easily done. Has this feature ended?

I am just wondering this. I am completely visually impaired, I use a computer program for visually impaired people called NVDA. However, I am experimenting issues that I’m having with my USB drive. Basically, last year, I don’t know what month, I bought at Walmart, a toy karaoke machine that’s from the movie Disney frozen two. Where I always like to record my toys from different things. When it says, insert a USB flash drive to record. However, last year, when I was actually recording my own toys on that toy karaoke machine, it actually worked when I connected it to my computer. The USB drive. So I was able to play the recordings I made from the karaoke machine that I made from toys. But now, when I’m about to tastic, it’s doing the opposite. I can actually record sound effects from toys that I’ve been recording on this karaoke machine, but when I plug in the USB drive, it does not want to play my recording of the toy that I recorded on the karaoke machine. How can I try to do this, like recover recordings I made from this karaoke machine and I could play them again on my computer? Because this is so annoying. I know this is not about computers, but it’s about USB drives, and Toy recordings. Because this USB drive, I can actually plug it in to a toy boombox, where I can actually store recordings, I could make from toys from a toy karaoke machine. But even though I’m plugging it in, it is not play it for me.

My computer does not play Blu-Ray video movies, just standard DVDs. BUT, neither does my DVD player...LOL...It is okay, I just have to always remember to rent the standard DVD movies. I used to have a Blu-Ray player. But there were massive problems with Samsung Models and firmware after 3-4 months. Many customers were have similar issues with same model. I now have a Phillips DVD player as Samsung were no help in solving the problems. This is a Public Service Announcement (PSA).
