Looks like Spotify for Xbox is gonna go live today

Good to see it available for non PS4 owners but I have no use for it. I can't play my own music and its blocked in my country anyway. Its the most overrated music service ive ever seen.

Awesome. Will i be able to link my account i use with my phone. I think i just lohmgin through facebook.

It sounds like it’s a Spotify Connect client. My AV receiver does the same thing. You pick a song or playlist or whatever on your phone and there’s a button press for more output options. One of those will be the XBox One
 
Not automatically. You have to mute the in-game music if you want that. I'll never understand why they undid that from the 360, it was glorious.

One Word. Microsoft.

Remember the always online, no used games,.. stuff back then. I bet the same people suggested to ditch this feature from the 360.

Well since background music was launched long after the release of FH3 it seems like a feature they haven't hooked into.

Do we know of any new releases work with the BG music?

You can download it now. Go to the entertainment tab and select all apps. Its at the top right away.

Not showing up in the UK just yet, but if you're an eager beaver, open Edge and search for Spotify for Xbox and find the microsoft store link. That'll hardline you into the Xbox Store location.

That, and profile defaults... Inverted aim, manual trans, hard difficulty, etc.

It's probably too late now, but it would've been awesome if Forza Horizon 3 updated to add a Spotify radio station. Still going to listen to music on Spotify while playing the game, but the way the game integrates music from radio station into the rest of the game's audio is actually one of the cooler things about it. Maybe there's still a chance it gets added at some point.

I see you Major Nelson with that Luthor Vandross pick.

Excellent final track as well.

Power Gaming Playlist is pretty lit too.

Lol, why would it be any different?

I'll admit, up until a few days ago I had hope it would come and be a port of the Android or Win10 version.

This is fine though, I just won't be spending much time actually in the app while it's running, but it's not a big deal or a deal breaker for sure.
 
Quick question:

Does Spotify have cloud service option like Groove and Google play?
I have used Groove for years because of this option but yearned Spotifys better selection of stream content.

Yeah I like it. There's more genre categories than ps4. Plus on my setup it's sounds slightly better. So glad my free account works. Yay.
