  1. Media Player not updating with new music


    When I get new music I put it in my Music folder on my PC (Win 7), but it often takes a lot of time before it shows up on my Xbox media player. I got a new album yesterday and put it in my music folder yesterday at like 1PM. It's still not showing up. They're
    normal mp3 files. I have tried shutting my xbox down (not sleeping, full power off) but nothing happens still. Is there a way for me to force push an update? Like, on my PCs music player I have to click "refresh library" before new music will show up. Anything
    like that?

    :)

    Genre based playlists? (Christmas more specifically)

    Thankls for brining this up! I have the same thought and not just for Christmas music. On our Windows Media Center/Windows Media Player, I could make playlists easily based on their genre, but I find the Xbox Music App not as user friendly as WMC/WMP. I
    hope they will do some updating on how one can manage the music library.

    Xbox One OS/UI features you still miss in the monthly updates

    They also need to update their media player app. There is no sorting option when looking at pictures or browsing your music.

    Playing A Video

    Do you happen to know why my m4a music files will play on Windows Media Player and Media Center, but not through the Music Library? I have the "Optional Media Update"...

    XBOX ONE Media Player no longer finds music on network

    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.

    Xbox one media player snap-able?

    Got a little more info for you! Looks like as of the most recent update, you CAN Snap the "Media Player Preview" and play music, however un-snapping it will end the current music!

    I need help.

    Hi! I'm Luis, a fellow Xbox Gamer . Thanks for reaching us out here.

    You can listen to music on your Xbox 360 console by connecting a portable media player, inserting a CD, or playing music from your console’s hard drive.

    -From a portable media player:

    Connect your media player’s sync cable to a USB port on the Xbox 360 console. There are two USB ports on the front of your console behind an oval door.

    Press the Guide button  on your controller.

    Move to Media, and then select Music Player.

    Select Portable Device.

    Select the music you want to play.

    -Rip a CD

    Load a music CD into the console disc tray. The music player starts automatically.

    Select Rip CD.

    Select the songs you want to copy to the hard drive, and then select Rip CD.

    -Music while playing:

    You can play music from a portable music player or your hard drive while playing a game. Here’s how:

    Plug the sync cable of your portable media player into a USB port on the front of your Xbox 360 console.

    Start a game, and then press the Guide button  on your controller.

    Go to Media.

    Choose Select Music.

    Select the location of the music you want to hear (hard drive or a connected media player).

    Press the Guide button  to return to your game.

    Your music will play in place of the game soundtrack if the game supports custom music.
