Any news on Xbox music recieving new features with 10?

[deezus]

The music app is still basic and garbage IMO and I was wondering why I'm not hearing anyone discuss this especially my Zune brothers and sisters. I mean MS can't actually believe Xbox music in its current state is a winner can they?

JB said updates will be coming. We don't need 'garbage' comments for the first preview.

While I agree that it is still too early to tell, I don't think how they handled Xbox Music in 8.1 was the right way to do it and I am afraid that Windows 10 will be similar. Yes, they have updated the 8.1 app many times, but it still isn't a good product. I'd rather them take a little longer up front to make a good product from the ground up instead of rushing something out of the door and then having to keep patching it to make it barely passable.

Honestly, Xbox Music with Windows 10 is much better. It hasn't crashed on me once, whereas it did it once a day on 8.1... Which is odd. Things aren't suppose to be better with a preview lol

I just hope it works...

I just wish they brought back the original WP8 look. It still looks like 8.1 is in beta....

It seems to me as though the app is tied in natively again on the backend. I haven't had to stare at a splash screen yet either, which was how it used to be in 8.0 and earlier.

Can anybody please share a screenshot of the music app if there's a change in the UX? Too bad I'm not a part of the preview yet as I have a 930. Patience is needed.

It's the exact same app, yet it seemingly works better.

Thanks. I thought it was the one they featured on Joe Belfiore's video today. I'll wait till it hits my 930 then.

Does it play FLAC encoded files?

It should. That's what JB said.

Yes, but it might not be in there yet.
