Stopping Groove music

I have done all those before anyone comment anything.

When you click a app, you get prompt for a update of that app. Before the update I had no problem including groove.

So with groove music. When I uninstall the app. Installed the groove music the background music ( clicking the app from the guide button worked) closed out the app, clicked the groove music app you get a (what's new in groove) then when you click the app
from the guide button which just stops working.

When I mention the background music does not work. <-- it means I go to iheartradio select music go to a game and the music stops.

I won't do a factory reset. As I know it won't work. So does anyone have that issue? As have you even tried.

In your mums music app/music player there is usually an option (on Android at least) to cast to or to play on another device. Usually it can stream music to other devices on the local network. You'll need to unpair or delete your Xbox from her streaming
devices on her phone.

I use USB thumb drive to connect to Series console and capable to play music via Music Player app, this is another music app. Since I have Groove app already installed, still cannot navigate my local music from external thumb.

I assume that Groove is capable to play music without the need of external drive and still playing in background while doing multitask on console.

Unfortunately, although Music Player app has capable to play music, it requires that thumb drive must be connected to console and no way to transfer local music to internal drive at all. Plus the app must be active, doing multitask on console will result in stopping music.

The question, is there a way to use Groove to play music for Series console in my end? If not due to discontinued, what's the point of Groove's availability in my end that yet I still cannot play music?

Are you using the old Music app or the new Groove app. Microsoft changed from Xbox Music to Groove recently.

Maybe it will sound better once they change the name to Groove.
