Cant select playlists in Xbox Music on Windows RT 8.1

MichaelARClark · Feb 2, 2014

I have a 2 playlists comprised of music that is saved on my ASUS VivoTab RT, the menu on the left lists two playlists, however they both appear as the same name. When I click on the first playlist, it shifts down to the second playlist. In the menu they
both have the same name, but once the second playlist is selected it shows on the main screen that it is actually the other playlist. I can play this playlist, but I can never select and play the first one.

In the past I have also had trouble with not all the playlists showing up n the list. I have turned off sync, cloud collection, media info. I don't need this sync'd to anywhere else, I just want to be able to play it on this device. After I turned off sync
it seemed to work properly. But the next time I loaded xbox music the same problems were there.

I really just want to be able to select a list of songs and play them, nothing else. Please let me know if there is something I can fix, or if there is another app to use.

Playing a XBOX Music Store Playlist on Windows 8/RT

I must be missing something.

On the XBOX Music App on Windows RT, under "All Music" from the xbox music store it shows a couple of store based playlists. For example "Who's Next".

When I select a playlist there doesn't seem to be any way to play it. It shows a random album cover that seems to be unrelated. If you click on any of the tracks XBOX Music will show the album that the track belongs to.

Is this by design or am I missing a secret gesture.

XBOX Music Playlist Question

Hi. I have a question that I have yet to find a definitive answer to... When I create a playlist in XBOX Music on my PC/Surface using music from the XBOX Music store, those playlists appear on XBOX and my other devices within seconds. However, these playlists
do not appear on my WP8 (Lumia 1020) device. I am a music pass subscriber. I also know that I can sync them thru the Windows Phone app. My question is more about the automatic syncing that occurs over the air. Do playlists created on Windows 8.1 devices sync
through the cloud to WP8 device?

I had the same problem with the playlists on my Surface RT. I simply uninstalled the app and then reinstall it. Problem solved!

Xbox Video and Xbox Music watch the Collections for your Music and videos from your Media Windows PC. Or you can open Windows Media Player RT click a playlist or file and hit Play to then the device works. You want to play to the XboxOne Device

From the front page of Xbox Music website:

"Unlimited music across all your devices

Go premium to get ad-free music on all your devices. Xbox Music Pass works on your PC, tablet, Xbox, the web, and your phone, including Windows Phone, iOS, and Android devices. Instantly stream songs or download them to listen offline. Your songs and playlists
effortlessly sync across your devices so your music collection follows you wherever you go!"

Playlists are clearly not syncing effortlessly, much less at all (I've never seen this feature work). This is a major feature and as a paying customer I am not getting what was advertised. Where is the response from Microsoft on this one? At the very
least let us know you recognize this issue and are working towards a fix. Playing silent is not helping here.

To be clear, the issue is this:

1. I log in to the Xbox Music website and create a playlist. OR I log in to my Windows 8.1 laptop and create a playlist. (Note: playlists are sync'd between website and my laptop app)

2. I log in to Xbox Music on my Windows 8 phone. Swipe to Playlists and ... my playlists are not there, even after waiting days / weeks. I've tried manually sync'ing my Microsoft account on the phone, but still no love.

Please fix this!

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I have tried the phone both on my home network and my carriers with no difference. I created a playlist on my phone and it synced straight away to my cloud collection on the web. The playlists and music in the web is a mix of matched
music and Xbox Music but neither are showing on the phone. I have not encountered the same problem with the music app on my PC (Windows 8.1) it is seeing my local music but nothing from the cloud. The only things that seem to be working are the web player
and the app on my iPad, even my Xbox One has stopped updating my collection.

Hello Reuben R, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

To create a playlist for the music mode in Space Invaders Infinity Gene on Xbox, you can follow these general steps:

1. First, make sure you have the desired music files saved on your Xbox console. You can either transfer music from a PC using a USB drive or download music directly to the console through services like Xbox Music or Spotify (if supported).

2. Once your music files are ready, you can create a playlist directly on your Xbox. Here's how:

a. Navigate to the "Media Player" app on your Xbox console.
b. Select "Playlists" from the menu.
c. Choose "Create a Playlist" and give it a name.
d. Add the desired music files to the playlist by selecting them and confirming the selection.

3. After creating the playlist, launch Space Invaders Infinity Gene.

4. In the game's menu or options, locate the "Music" or "Soundtrack" section. It may be under a specific game mode or settings.

5. Within the music mode options, you should see an option to choose a playlist. Select the playlist you created on your Xbox.

Once you've selected your playlist, the game will play the music from the playlist while you play Space Invaders Infinity Gene.

I hope this helps.

Best regards.
