    Why has media player app not got background music function after update?


    read the press release about the update stating background music was coming to groove,pandora but not the media player app. This is very disappointing as this feature where you plug in usb and play your music came with original xbox and 360 as standard.

    Music player

    On the 360 i could hit the guide button and select the media tab and play music from the hard drive or media drive whilst i was playing games. I used this function all the time because most game music is rubbish. I have tried to figure out a way to do this
    on the xbox one. So far all i can manage is to snap the music app to the side and play my music from the network using a companion app on my tab. The problem with this is you have a chunk of the screen dedicated to the music app. The second problem is when
    the track finishes and goes to the next track the music app opens to the full screen minimising my game. This is no good. Is there something im doin wrong here, surely i can play music in the background like on the 360.

    Has anyone figured out where the background music player is.



    Also why'is the optic out DTS not working.

    What are your favorite new things the X1 can do now after all dem epic updates?

    That is why I said it, because those apps have to be snapped. I want to play my game full screen with the music in the background.

    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.

    Background music

    In the new update it stated "Background Music: Today’s update brings the ability for the highly requested feature of Background Music, which lets you listen to your favorite music in the background while gaming on Xbox One. The Pandora app, launching soon,
    is the first of many partners who will support Background Music, with Groove Music, iHeartRadio and other apps coming later."

    Pandora is coming soon, as stated in the update release. However, there is one current App that will work with this function called CAST, it is a free music app. You can use this now until the other music apps are updated to work with the new Background
    Music feature.

    Hope this helps!
