Is there anyway to play CDs in the background?

SubjectDelta004 · May 21, 2017

I like to listen to CDs while I play, but since they removed "Snap an App" I cannot play downloaded games while listening to CDs, is there anyway to get past this?

Hello SubjectDelta004,

It's a good question. And, it seems you are not the only one asking about a "Background CD player" . Now, it is true that the Groove app
will let you "Playing background music on Xbox One" . But, at this time it does not support playing from music CD directly. You can download and
install the free Audio CD player app from your Xbox. However, that does not support playing background music. Once you leave the app, the music will stop. But, the opposite is not true for things you are downloading. The downloads will continue regardless
if you are playing a CD. I know this may not be exactly what you wanted. But, it does mean you can play a music CD and download at the same time.

Also, may I suggest going over to the Xbox
feedback website and vote for the "Background CD player" post. It is possible that this feature may show up in future Xbox One updates.

Work is good, thanks for asking. If all else fails play the radio or cd in the background.

Hi,

You can use SoundCloud or Groove to play music while playing a game.

Background music gives you some example of what apps can be used.

Hope this helps.

I really want this. I have a big collection of CDs that I'd like to rip and have playing in the background when I'm on my racing games.

Background playback is currently only implemented by a small number of apps because it was just introduced. There are several apps coming through the "Universal Windows App" program on the Xbox One that will support more playback devices and probably also
one which can play CDs in the background.
