Xbox having Apple Music as a Streaming Music Platform

If I am playing music from the native XBOX Groove app, the music will keep playing to my stereo even if I turn my TV off.

But not so if I am streaming the music from Apple TV into XBOX HDMI in. Music stops when TV goes off.

Thanks

I recently bought a Surface Tablet RT and the music app allows me to stream music, tv shows and movies from my Xbox Live account (purchased via Zune on my Xbox 360); however, I am NOT able to access my "music videos" as purchased via Zune on my Xbox 360.
The music videos are still playable on my Xbox 360 console. When I try to play my music videos on my Surface, I get an error message providing that the device cannot stream the music videos via the cloud. Exactly how can I add my music videos to my Surface
tablet? I find this frustrating, and it's a simple matter and nobody (Surface support, Microsoft store reps) has been able to give me a simple, or any useful, answer. This is definitely what separates the Surface from Apple mobile devices as anything I purchase
on Itunes is seamlessly accessible on all Apple mobile devices. Without real assistance in using my Surface for media/entertainment as advertised, I'll be forced to return it and rely back on my Apple devices.

Hi .

I also stream music to my XBO, using "Cast" from my PC, and if I turn my TV off, the music still plays. I'd suggest it's something that Apple TV is set to do by default, but I've never used Apple TV, so not certain.

Have you checked settings in Apple TV? Some HDMI controls can be set to deactivate sound if no HDMI output device is detected, and this probably would be detected even if the Xbox is on, but the TV isn't ;-).

Kind regards.

Not sure about apple music; however, if that happens on Spotify I just have to unpause the music while on the app I'm playing and the music will resume.

No, currently the Xbox Music app on the console is only for streaming music from the Xbox Music catalog using a Xbox Music Pass. In order to play your local/NAS files you'll have to use the built-in music player.
