Can you play music instead of in game music/sound on the 1?

Topic more or less this is something i used to do on the 360 back in the day, only with an ipod connected i tried doing that same little thing on the 1 hoping itd work but nada, anyone know if its possible and how to do it? im thinking like having youtube
in the backround or pandora playing? or even if it works somehow with a wired iphone/ipod etc i could make that happen, thanks in advance i tried google but didnt get much of a straight answer, the best i got was someone opening like the browser while in game
and running pandora

DLNA Music player.

Can you give us a tad bit more about your setup?

You mention DLNA so I am guessing your tablet is not an MS OS, and you are using "PlayTo" to stream from the device. What tablet/OS are you streaming from?

You mention tiled background, so it doesn't sound like you are the simple System Music player for playback. There are 3 ways to stream on the 360; System Music Player - dashboard button > media tab > system music player,
Media Center (found under my apps) and xbox music (which is associated with your MS account and can find music in your collection on your network). Which music player are you using to stream? (sounds like Media centeplayback. There are 3

In reality for streaming DNLA I would just use System Music Player with it cool Hippie screen saver. Media Center is a lot of overhead to just stream tunes. Also you can start your tunes streaming in System Music Player and then launch a game and have
your tunes playing in the game (many games support this)

 

Hot For Teacher

^ true story...Or you can setup file sharing through your network. The console will recognize the music on you computer and you'll be able to stream the music while you play instead of taking up hard drive space.

 

Hey there i done you the trouble and connected two different devices (IPhone as well as a Nokia) and they both don't let you play music from them i do apologies but that is the case.

Pandora and Groove music only support background music at the moment if you wish to recommend connecting a device (IPod, Nokia, Android / Samsung) then post here as this is the
feedback page.

 

With the new update you are able to play background music while playing a game but you have to snap an app like Pandora or groove music to be able to hear the music

What you posted isn't really relevant as i already stated that in my post above. Please don't bump a thread without fully reading the other posts thank you.

And no you do not need to snap Pandora or groove music to hear the audio just start the app play the song and swap over to the game no snapping is required anymore.
