Intro and windows 8 music app inquiry

[d2thomas]

Hello everyone, just wanted to say hello and ask an easy question:

Content I add via Xbox music pass on my phone - will it show up on the Windows 8 Music app?

I'm trying to find an elegant solution for adding content where I can consume it on my phone or computer, depending my location. I had a first gen Zune and that worked perfectly however I've read that Microsoft has made it more complicated to do so (and coined it "more flexible"). What are you all you doing in terms of keeping synchronized with subscription based content?

Thanks and glad to be here.

Welcome to WPC!

Shorter answer is : No

However, that is meant to work both ways. Currently it doesn't always work. But with upcoming fixes, it will work in a way where you purchase/download something to your cloud on WP8 and it sync to Windows 8.

Since this is more Xbox Music related query, I will move it there so you get responses from people who actually use Xbox Music on daily basis.

Thanks for the heads up - seems to be a pretty big feature to leave out so I hope they rectify that soon.

At least it would encourage more people to pay for the subscription based plan.

I plan on canceling it myself now and just syncing the MP3 files I have.
