Groove Music Xbox One App Not Syncing Correctly from Groove App on PC

Abaline · Aug 30, 2016

I have both OneDrive and Groove Music on my PC, with everything synced. I also have the Groove Music app downloaded on my One. I have about 3,000 songs, and only 200 of them are showing up on the One.

Anyone have any ideas? (I've tried uninstalling the One app and reinstalling it).

Xbox One Keeps opening old Groove Music app when streaming to Xbox One

Hi,

When streaming something to Xbox One, it keeps trying to open the old Groove Music app.

When it opens, I get a notification to update and then it installs the new Groove Music app.

Then, when trying to stream from the PC to the Xbox One, you are redirected to the old Groove Music App, which you need to install and ... (loop here)

Somebody else already opened this on the Groove Music PC forum, but was directed here (Xbox One Keeps Installing Groove When Trying to Stream From PC).
I can't find any post on the Xbox Forum yet, so here it is..

Kind Regards,

Andy

Are you using the old Music app or the new Groove app. Microsoft changed from Xbox Music to Groove recently.

Hey Abaline -

Have you taken a look at the
Groove and OneDrive FAQ yet? If not, take a peek at that and check out the troubleshooting steps they provide there. If none of that helps, let us know and we'll try something else.

Streaming directly from your W10 pc isn't available for music you'll need to upload the music to your Onedrive. You will however need to use Groove Music as this is the only way that works.

There are other apps that support background music besides Spotify though.

According to this site, VLC, Groove, iheartradio, and Pandora support the feature. Additionally, there is the Simple Background Music Player app that lets allows for playback from USB devices.

That app plays audio files in both M4A and MP4 formats, in addition to MP3, WMA, and FLAC.

In regards to Groove, it doesn't sound like you can stream anymore.

"We’ll continue to update the Windows 10 Groove Music apps for PC, Xbox, and Windows Phone so you can play your purchased music. 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."
