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.

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?

 

Back Ground Music coming Aug 2

no, thats not how it works. you can play music from the xbox groove app on your console. But instead of having to snapp it to the side, you can completely hide it in the"background" and still listen to your groove music while playing a game. I think you should also be able to add you own music files to Onedrive and then access that through groove.
