error code 80070003 xbox music, music won't play at all on lumia 830

Brand new Lumia 830 and brand new sandisk 128GB ultra sd card.

Done everything by the book. Transferred music won't be played by xbox music.
Instead I get "Sorry, Your phone can not play this file, error code 80070003".

I can find the music using "Files" and play one song at a time. The files/the music can also be played by 3rd party apps like "Cool Music" and "Music Now". But I can't stand their commercials . . .
Done the "Soft Restart" or whatever it's called (english not being my native language), Reformatted the card 3 times, synced just 100 songs the last time (I have 5600 songs on iTunes that I've tried to sync - all music is either bought from iTunes or rippped from my CDs - DRM free!)

I've come to the conclusion that I am doing nothing wrong!
The "WRONG" is in WP 8.1 Denim or in Xbox music . . .

OR. . . does anyone have a good expalantion or a remedy for this problem.

ps I had/have a Nokia 808 Pureview, tranferred all my music (35GB) to its 64GB card without ANY problem at all. I thought this would be just as easy, the 830 being a much more modern phone with a much more modern OS . . .
Sorry if I sound all disappointed but that's really how I feel. Have searched the web and tried "everything" but to no avail . . .

ps 2 -Why aren't You using Your Nokia 808 then?
- Because it fell on its "head" while charging breaking the charger contact. So I bought a Lumia 830.

By chance, what are the file formats you are attempting to play through xbox music? Also have you tried zbox to play your music? It I'd a third party music that is pretty good in my opinion although a bit buggy but it is constantly improving.

The music is what's in my iTunes library. I haven't done any "tweaking" to it, its "out of the box" iTunes so I'm quite sure my music are regular mp3 files.

Zbox ? ? ? Does it have commercials like "Cool Music" and "Music Now" have - Then it's not for me!

Thank You for Your input.
