Stop using Xbox music - MS obviously don't care because after about 10 updates it still has loads of bugs and issues. Primary issues that are bugging me:
- Periodic glitching between tracks, i.e. a split second of noise when one track ends and the next one is just about to start.
- No live tile update anymore.
- Doesn't respect album artwork, sometimes choosing to download something else, i.e. US cover instead of UK cover
- Lockscreen artist is hit and miss whether it will show even though option to show it is on.
Instead I just today discovered the app ModernMusic which is a fantastic 8.1 compatible player and is great because:
- It plays music without glitching between tracks
- It can scrobble to Last.FM in batches of 1, 5 or 10 tracks
- It has a live tile that actually works
- The player itself respects album artwork
- Now playing view shows the artwork larger.
- The app developer has a modernmusic.uservoice.com site where you suggest/vote on features and new features and changes are in planned or in development.
