This is my second post on this subject, but I just can’t believe that Microsoft has released background music and not updated Media Player to work with it, so you basically can’t play your own music on the XBOX ONE. This was a release feature on the Xbox 360, WTF Microsoft!
The first app was a damn Podcast app! What is that? And now I guess that Groove Music, Microsoft’s paid music service will work in the background. And supposedly it will play music you have copied to your OneDrive, if you have enough space, but you seem to have to have a paid account for that to work (though I could be wrong on that). The thing is that the 360 worked off a DLNA server from your computer, so with the help of an app, I could stream all my music from my Mac to my XBOX and pick tracks and play them. I want to play my own music, not paid music, and not even Pandora (which is supposed to work soon). I want my own music!
And honestly the fact that Microsoft’s paid music service GROOVE will work soon makes me very wary! WTF! Let me play my own music! Hell if I have to I will rip CD’s to my One as I could with my 360! It is better than just streaming or paid music! Hell even if I have to put them on a USB stick and do it that way, it is at least my music, but again that would require Microsoft to update their Media Player app!
