groove music not showing up with my music

Hey Heather

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums.

In regards to this matter, it is as Xbox Forums Ambassador
Allebas stated above, The Groove Music service has been discontinued.

When Microsoft announced the discontinuation of the Groove Music Pass streaming service on October 2, 2017, customers were
notified that music would be available to download until December 31, 2017. Unfortunately, that window has now passed. If you've already downloaded your music, you can listen to it on your PC with the Windows 10 Groove apps for PC, Xbox, and Windows
Phone. You can also transfer your downloaded purchased music from one of your devices to another device for your own personal, non-commercial use.

There is an article that you can view
here that covers the Groove Music and Spotify FAQs. I reccomend that you review it to further find more info reguarding what can and cannot be done with the current state of the service.

As you have already marked this post as answered, we will now be locking this post. Thank you for being part of the Xbox Family and have a wonderful day!

Hi HeatherGarcia2,

Your music might not be there because Groove music is no longer available on Xbox. Sorry about that https://windowsreport.com/groove-music-onedrive-streaming-end-support/.

It's no longer called Xbox Music in the apps. It's title is now Groove Music, but that app has now shut down, hence why it no longer shows.

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?
