Copying music from home computer to Xbox One S

Hey there,

If you already have the MP3 files, you can simply transfer them to a USB drive or play them over DLNA and play from the Media Player app (there are also a diverse range of apps available on the Xbox Store to achieve this as well). Check our

Xbox One Media Player FAQ for further information!

Hope this helps clear up any confusion!

Hey there Universal Truth,

Thanks for asking us here in the forums.

So to re-iterate what Franco was saying, is this computer that you have installed Windows 8 on, the only computer that you have on your network? The files may be being picked up from a different device that they're stored on.

If that's the case, to use the 'Cloud' feature of Xbox Music to stream music from one device to another, you would need to have an Xbox Music Pass. If you put an actual physical copy of the music on the device, you'll be able to access it without the Music
Pass.

Let us know a bit more about your set-up. Thanks!

This is interesting as I’m also curious. The only info I found is in this link

Hello markdorons,

I hope this helps!

Overview

With an Xbox Music Pass subscription, you can download, stream, and listen to as many songs from the Xbox Music store as you want, as often as you want.

Associate up to four devices with your Xbox Music Pass

Your Xbox Music Pass allows you to download and sync items to a combination of four different devices which has the Xbox Music App. (This includes Windows 8 computers, tablets, Xbox 360 consoles, or Windows Phone 8 devices.) For example, you can download
music to your work computer, a laptop, a tablet device, and a Windows Phone 8. Or you can download music to one computer and then sync that music to a Windows Phone 8, Xbox 360 console, and another computer.

Once you've downloaded or synced music from your Xbox Music Pass to a computer or device, that computer or device will be associated with your Xbox Music Pass for at least 30 days.

If you want to change the computers or devices that are associated with your Xbox Music Pass (for example, say you replace your home computer), you can swap out a computer or device every 30 days.

Notes

• You can only use your Xbox Music Pass on Windows Phone 8 devices that use your Microsoft account.
  
• Xbox Music Pass is designed for a single user. If other members of your household have Windows Phone 8 devices, their own Microsoft accounts will be associated with their phones and, therefore, they would need their own Xbox Music Passes.
