How do I recover my music (I have Xbox Music sub) after factory reset?

[Windows Central Question]

I have an ATT Lumia 920 and had to do a factory reset because of that annoying theChive power button bug.

Prior to factory reset, I had about 5 gb of songs, all downloaded using my Xbox Music sub. I did a full back-up before doing the factory reset.

After successfully completing the reset, I was under the impression that all my music would be back, but only a handful of songs were recovered. Does this mean I have to redownload all my music again manually? What a chore!

They might take a bit to sync back up after a factory reset. Check how your music is filtered also...change to "all music". You might have to re-download them to your phone if you'd rather have a copy locally on your phone.

try to play music through the Musixmatch lyrics player, after playing, open the xbox music then all the music in your sd card/phone will sync.
