    Only way to listen to music in the background in the UK is to pay for it with that rubbish grove something that should be FREE.

    MS are a bunch of money grabbing scum

    Its only Pandora now and it's not a worldwide app and moving music to one drive is actually very annoying, there should be an app were you can stream music from your phone to xbox

  5. I'm in the US. I will try again.

    I'm able to use Pandora in the background on the home screen but if I switch to a game, it stops.

  8. Background music

    Pandora is still a no go for me as well and I even reactivated a 4 year old account for this...of course us finally getting background music wasn't going to be easy it has to be the most backward way possible

    Xbox's background music update is the biggest joke. Such garbage. The native media player doesn't even support background music. The simple background music player app is garbage too. There is no repeat or Shuffle track option. That completely ruins the
    cutscenes and gameplay experience. I have to keep opening the app back up to repeat a track I like during a cutscene. The volume changer increments are way too drastic. If I ever need to lower or higher the volume it's either way too loud or way too low. There
    aren't enough increments in the volume changer bar. I'm always having to adjust the volume myself while playing a game or specifically during a cutscene. The groove music app with the OneDrive music storage option would be decent if it actually let us play
    music in the background already. We're still waiting for them to update the *** thing but it's taking them so long. This is one of the worst updates I have ever scene. PS4 has a far superior background music system implemented. Xbox you need to pick it up.
    This is a joke.

    Also, the Simple Background Music Player app can't read a majority of music file names. Most of them are blank unless you manually edit the ID3 tag information for every single track.

    @ A JACOB 19: ps4's music player is a paid for service unlike the FREE option to play bg music on the far superior Xbox One.

    I'm in the US, and both of my Xbox One consoles don't allow Pandora to run in the background. I was really hoping the update that did all this actually worked. I'm on a capped data plan, and got in trouble with my ISP just to get the update, and it doesn't
    even work. Super bummer.

    Background music

    In the new update it stated "Background Music: Today’s update brings the ability for the highly requested feature of Background Music, which lets you listen to your favorite music in the background while gaming on Xbox One. The Pandora app, launching soon,
    is the first of many partners who will support Background Music, with Groove Music, iHeartRadio and other apps coming later."

    Pandora is coming soon, as stated in the update release. However, there is one current App that will work with this function called CAST, it is a free music app. You can use this now until the other music apps are updated to work with the new Background
    Music feature.

    Hope this helps!

    USB Flash Drive not being Detected?

    The Xbox apps do not currently support playing music from a USB drive for background music. There are some 3rd party apps that have this ability like Simple Background Music Player.

    Absolutely! Just hover over the top-right corner (or if you're on a tablet, swipe from the right) and that will bring up the charm bar. Choose Settings and then Game Options. In that menu you can adjust not only the music but also the voice and the sounds.
