OneDrive music won't sync to Windows phone

Hi

I am trying to get my One Drive music to sync with a Windows phone (Nokia Lumia 620 - running 8.1) I assumed I would just use Groove which I do on my PC and my android phone but I am now aware that I will have to use XBox until the transition to Groove
is complete

I logged into XBox for the first time yesterday to try to make this happen - I believe I have followed all of the instructions but there is no sign of my OneDrive music on the Windows phone.

Any ideas anyone?

regards

Sync music on Win 8 phone

Are you using the Phone app or the Windows Phone app for Desktop? There's two versions you can use to transfer music. You could also use Windows Media Player for transferring data. It's also fantastic for making playlists.

pocketnow.com/.../how-to-sync-windows-phone-8-automatically is the link I found on how to auto sync music.

You could also try the mass transfer protocol to drag and drop your music collection - this method does NOT work with DRM protected (like the Music Pass) music.

 

Please be sure you did all theses steps below:

- Be sure to upload the music content you want at the specific ''music'' folder at OneDrive

- Sign in at Groove Music/Xbox Music with the same account that has the uploaded songs on OneDrive

Glad to Help.

 

Thanks

Still not working I have checked that all accounts line up. When I first did my upload to OneDrive couple of months ago - all music wad visible straight away on Android -but when you okay songs on Android they skip after about 10 seconds and Groove frequently
stops working. Thought I would try the windows phone route. But even less joy!
