Groove Music error 0x800705aa Can't Play.

Hey there,

Sorry to hear about the issue. Unfortunately this may be an issue
Microsoft Support may need to assist with as this issue is occurring on Windows 10 & Groove Music. We primarily offer assistance with Xbox games and Xbox console issues here on the Xbox Support forums.

Hope this helps!

To play your music on groove, you need to upload your music to the OneDrive cloud service, and then start groove. It should find the music from your OneDrive, and then you should be able to play it.

I use USB thumb drive to connect to Series console and capable to play music via Music Player app, this is another music app. Since I have Groove app already installed, still cannot navigate my local music from external thumb.

I assume that Groove is capable to play music without the need of external drive and still playing in background while doing multitask on console.

Unfortunately, although Music Player app has capable to play music, it requires that thumb drive must be connected to console and no way to transfer local music to internal drive at all. Plus the app must be active, doing multitask on console will result in stopping music.

The question, is there a way to use Groove to play music for Series console in my end? If not due to discontinued, what's the point of Groove's availability in my end that yet I still cannot play music?

I don't know if you mean groove music, but it got cancelled..

Maybe that's why "you can't get your xbox music work"

Hi Ackis,

On December 31, 2017, the option to stream, purchase, and download music from Groove Music was discontinued. If your purchased music was downloaded, you’ll still be able to listen to it. The app is still updated and you can still play purchased music that
you were able to download from the service before 12/31/17.

"We’ll continue to update the Windows 10 Groove Music app for PC, Xbox, and Windows Phone so you can play and manage the music you’ve purchased and downloaded to these devices or uploaded to OneDrive, but the app will no longer stream or play Groove Music
Pass content."

If the playlist was downloaded before 12/31/17 then I don't see why it wouldn't still work on Forza Horizon 3. Forza Support will have more information on this if they did in fact remove this feature from the game once the service of Groove Music was discontinued.
