    Music on File Explorer App for Xbox doesn't show up in Groove Music Library


    I've really enjoyed the recent update for XB1, but I was disappointed when I found out music I copied over to my console on the File
    Explorer app doesn't show up in my Groove Music Library.
    (Basically, I'm trying to avoid getting a Groove Music Pass because I'm already subscribed to iTunes and I don't need another subscription sucking off my
    bank account.)

    I'm hoping I can eventually
    use Groove like on my PC, that would be awesome.

    (Sorry if this is in the wrong category... I'm not very
    familiar with the various categories.)

    :)

    Groove Music on Xbox doesn't show local music files

    I've added my local music files to Xbox File Explorer - Music folder, but when I opened Groove Music, it doesn't show up on My Music section.

    According to Xbox support
    here
    , I can add local music files to Groove Music but the only option I see from the app is to play music uploaded on OneDrive. Is there a way to fix this issue?

  3. Playing Local Files In Groove Music (Xbox) Needs To Be Better

    I am trying to play
    local music files (all .mp3) from my Xbox One S using Groove Music and there are a lot of problems. Yes, I already know about and have used OneDrive to listen to music with Groove on my Xbox before but I would rather use local files. The music files where
    put in the Music folder in the Xbox One File Explorer app. When you open Groove Music with local files on the Xbox, it won’t show any of the songs and there is no option to tell Groove where to look for music (like there is on Windows 10 Groove Music), there
    is only the option for the OneDrive Music folder. The only way to open local files in Groove is to go into File Explorer and open the file there, which will then open Groove and play the song. But:

    • The
      song(s) still doesn’t show up in the My Music section
    • You
      can’t skip to the next track
    • You
      can’t add the song to a playlist
    • You
      can’t see the next songs in the queue
    To play the other songs
    (where they automatically play after each song ends), you must let the first song fully finish playing (or skip to the end of the song). Only then the next song will start playing and the other songs that are in the Music folder will show up in the queue and
    you can skip to the next track. They will still not show up in My Music and you can’t add the songs to a playlist. Songs you listened to also won’t show up in the Recent Plays section. The TL;DR: make Groove Music (for Xbox) show local music files in the My
    Music section and make them act the same as a OneDrive music file would act. Thank you.

    Windows 8 Xbox Music app won't recognize library-mounted music on an external device.

    Same issue. I was hoping today's music app update would solve it, but it hasn't helped.

    I have music on an SD card; I added to my music library in explorer and most albums show up in the Music app, but not all. I can navigate to them and play them using "Open File" from within the app, but even after playing they still won't show up in "my
    music" in the app.

    your music is hidden by the filter

    I am having the same issue. I copied a bunch of Windows Media files from an older machine into my Surface Pro's music library. I can use File Manager to open and play files one by one ... but they don't show up (for example by Album) in My Music within the
    Music App.



    ... And I get a message "It's lonely here. Why not add some music?" In File Manager, the directory with all the music files shows up in the Music Library. And I am also seeing the message "Your music is hidden by the filter."

    Add existing music to Xbox Music on Xbox 360?

    is you music library on the pc? if so you need to add your music to the music libraries in windows for them to show up. Just click the music folder in windows explorer and then add folders and find where you music is and ok.

    How do you add music to Music Grove from USB?

    For external devices with music you can use this app "Simple Background Music Player", with this app you can listen your songs direct from any external device without need to use groove music app.

    On this app you only need to create a folder called "Xbox Music Library" on the usb drive and put all songs you want on that folder, then connect the usb drive to an xbox one usb and run this app.

    Groove Music only works with OneDrive.

    Ecouter ma musique en DLNA sur Xbox One [Translation-Play my music in DLNA on Xbox one]

    Hi Florian,

    Thanks for coming to the forums with your questions. Have you checked Spotify to see if your music is there also? When all this occurred some music was moved to spotify. You can view the entire guide here for

    Groove music and spotify
    .

    All the music that had a match in Spotify’s catalog now appears in your Spotify library and playlists. All your purchased or uploaded non-Groove Music Pass music will remain untouched in the Windows 10 and Xbox Groove Music apps. Music you own and
    that is stored locally on your hard drive or on OneDrive is untouched and will continue to be playable from your local hard drive through the Windows 10 and Xbox Groove Music apps.

    Try the Spotify app and let us know.

    Thanks,

    Brad
