So I went through all the steps to setup music app on the xbox one, made sure streaming was on, added the device on my pc (drivers not found, surprise there!) and went to my music folder right clicked and told it to play to xbox, nothing happened.

Why couldn't they have just kept the 360 way of doing this? I don't want to be sitting at my pc right clicking every song I want to listen to while I play, at least on the 360 it reads the folder and creates a play list for me and I can play it in the background
without any problems. For the one system I heard that once it starts to work you have to keep the snap app on the screen or the music will stop.

Is it possible to stream from a Xbox Music on my Surface RT to a Windows 7 pc?

I have a Surface and a windows 7 pc but no Xbox. So I was hoping that I could stream music from Xbox Music app from my Surface to my pc (so I can play the music on my stereo). I have tried to figure out how to get my windows 7 pc listed in the Xbox Music
devices in my Xbox Music pass. Either this is not possible or I'm doing something wrong. Can any body help me out here?

SO Its Impossible

To make a play list or add songs MP3s to the Hard Drive? Unless you purchase it from one of the music apps? I still haven't figured out how to do that either, from what I can see all you can do is by a one month pass to stream music, I can already
stream music from my PC so I don't know why I would want to buy a pass, all I want to do is add some tunes to my NHL13 IT has that option, just keeps telling me I don't have any play lists..

yes, at the moment the Xbox One does not play music in the backround you have to either have the Xbox Music on and snapped or if you listen on youtube.. etc. it has to be snapped sorry.

I am having the same issue, I can sign in, download and play all my music, but I am unable to stream content.

To the person suggesting this is do to the change from Zune to Xbox Music, maybe something in the back end screwed up but as far as I know it would have to be unintentional. The switch was made months ago and everything has been working fine until the last
two days. While MS may pull some strange moves, I highly doubt castrating their music service to only work on Windows 8+ is one of them.

Now all of my music has disappeared. I am an Xbox Music subscriber and NOTHING is showing up in my library either on the SD card or streaming. This is getting worse,this is not an attempt to bump my issue.

Corrected when trying to stream music on my XBOX One from my PC using media player app, I do this because playlists are also playable, the music files are no longer found. Video files and picture files are still able to be streamed. I am wondering since
the add of music to onedrive and xbox music did they remove the ability to stream music with media player. on another note the media player on the One is awful compared the players on the 360.

Yes, that didn't help. And, I've read on other postings in this forum that this same advice was given to others and it didn't work either. I can listen to music on my home network through the Pandora app on my phone as well as the Amazon music app on
my phone. Both stream the music fine. It's clear to me that the problem is not Pandora or Amazon. The problem has something to do with the Xbox One. This is pretty disappointing and discouraging.
