The only time I will use this feature is if Spotify makes the service available to XBOX. Sadly don't see that happening which is BS.

Hey Guest. Check out your NeoGAF Wrapped 2025 results here!
Background Music finally works on Xbox One!
- Thread starter Xbudz
- Start date
I wasn't being serious. For the amount of time they had to get it working what we got is garbage and more waiting.

My single biggest frustration with the One is the huge step backwards it made with things like this, especially when they were saying its a 'do it all' device. What a huge fuck up. Things have got better though and I'm confident there will be further improvements. But man, they should have built upon the 360, not tear it back and start again.

The music showed up eventually! Wonder why it took so long, as now music pops up within less than 5 minutes after uploading it to OneDrive. Now for MS to update the app!
Before you think ps4 has this all solved:

That is a list of the games that support Spotify. It's not every game. Its missing some that I really wish were there.
I am wondering if xbox will also have this working for 'some' games and not others.

It's not an "opt-in" feature for game devs. It's a system level feature for apps. Also, I believe Sony does support every game with Spotify, it's just that games can support custom music tracks using Spotify.
Would seriously love it if they did this.
Who do I blame for the absence of a UWP Google Play Music app?
Get your shit together, Google.
Yet, it's been a bit shit all around this gen. PS4's background music doesn't work with DOAX3 for example (it simply stops when you switch back to the game), making that entire game utterly useless, lol.
But the Horizon games always have such great soundtracks already.
If they want to get XBL gold subscriptions from PC users then adding Groove to XBL and deals with gold/games with gold to PC would be a nice move.
This I agree with.
It's one way for me to ditch my alternatives and go with Groove. Surely me paying a sub for Gold to access Groove is better than nothing.

If only MS could work out a deal with Spotify. I've evolved past the state of MP3s, and don't even purchase music to rip to MP3s to use this feature anymore...
They can't work out a deal until whatever exclusivity period Sony paid for expires.

This time stamped video has Mike Ybarra mentioning DLNA Servers, Network play, and USB playback.
Has anyone got this working?

Can't believe it took years to port over a feature that was there at launch on the 360 (iirc).
It won't work until they update the necessary apps (plex, media player, etc). Not sure why they seemingly rushed out the background music update when there are no apps that can actually take advantage of it...

Might as well add to the never-gonna-happen-wishlist with ripping movies to your harddrive too. Now that would really be something.

They started again this time precisely so they don't have to in the future.
They could have built upon 360, but that would mean another gen where every single feature has to be implemented from scratch in all their platforms (even for basic things like WiFi support, preload and preorder on the store and so on), so they built a new platform that can support all their devices.
That has the obvious drawback that they had to go back in some features that just now are coming back, but they also have now a single platform for developers to learn and develop, and now that the hard part is done we will see many more features coming.

So does Groove actually play in the background or not? Getting so many conflicting answers and I can't get it to work on my console.
edit: For everyone as dumb as me, there are actually 2 separate Groove apps on the store. One has background music, the other doesn't.

So I just noticed that with Cortana I can pause/resume the background music. That's good.
Commands?
