    summer update background music is a joke

    trust me when i say this look when the xbox 360 came out it featured background music no 3rd party app with ads but all of a sudden Xbox One comes no background music at launch but summer 2016 update comes but now its got to be a 3rd party app not the Xbox's
    own media player. its strange that the first app is not one of Microsofts and yet its strange that they allowed this instead of updating one of there own.

    Windows Media Center sees files but can't play

    I can expand on 4GEE's problem because it is happening to me as well. The issue is that the Xbox Music subscription files (wma) are not playable with any the following media playback applications:

    * Windows Media Center on Windows 8

    * Windows Media Center on Xbox 360

    * Windows Media Player on Windows 8

    * System Music Player on Xbox 360

    Go ahead, try it for yourself. Interestingly, any subscription music downloaded through the legacy Zune software (also wma) is still compatible with all of the above playback applications. I confirmed the above findings just earlier today with my Windows
    8 computer and Xbox 360 S. The limitations of Xbox Music files has interrupted my ability to play a custom soundtrack during Xbox 360 gameplay as well as play background music during a Media Center slideshow. Downloading the Optional Media Update for Xbox
    360 does not solve this issue. Please help!



    Examples:

    * Nirvana: Nevermind

    * No Doubt: Tragic Kingdom

    * Infected Mushroom: Vicious Delicious

    (all downloaded via Xbox Music on Windows 8)
