music on sd card in 8.1

[jmerrey]

I just noticed you can store music on your SD card, and it will show up in Xbox music with the 8.1 beta. Before, the files had to be stored locally, in the My Music folder, for them to show up in your Xbox music app. Now, you just right click the folder, and an option to "include in library" will be listed. I've tested deleting and adding music to the SD card, and sure enough the folder is monitored constantly. It even appears to work if you have your music stored on SkyDrive.

(btw I'm not talking about the cloud music integration, we all know what a mess that is)

Are you running 8 or RT? It should work on either, right?

I'm on a Surface Pro. I haven't tested it on rt, but i would assume so.

It works in Windows RT 8.1 as well! Thank for this, I was getting REALLY pissed at Microsoft that they disabled my hack!
