I don't seem to see anyway to make Cortana to play the music files on my computer any more.
When I try she tells me to sign up for I Heart Radio or some other service but no option to play music that's on my computer.

Is it still possible to do this?

By associating your music files with Groove Music, you should be able to play your local music library through Groove Music directly. If you continue to experience difficulties playing local music...
