Re: Xbox music on 8.1
It is absolutely atrocious! I have about 200 songs on my phone, and about 4000 in the cloud. The damn app takes forever to initially build the database, then when it's finally done, I go to "Artists" and it shows nothing. I figure maybe it's because it needs to restart. I exit and go back, same deal! It takes less time on the loading new music message, but still doesn't show me anything! I really hope they fix this!

Re: Xbox music on 8.1
Yeah, hopefully they will fix it. Isn't this 8.1 update considered kind of like beta and things found by "developers" will be fixed in a final release?

Re: Xbox music on 8.1
Also, I turned off streaming music (in the settings), let it resync my music, then turned it back on and let it resync my music. It seems slightly better now. It also seems to help if you don't go straight to artists. Instead, go to radio then swipe to artists.
Yes, but usually these are pretty close to final bits.

Re: Xbox music on 8.1
The 'good' news is, this is now STORE updatable. So they could still be working on the final build of Xbox Music yet.

Re: Xbox music on 8.1
700+ songs on the phone, only took 2-3 minutes to be usable. Hell, it could take 2 minutes to launch everytime I want to use it now and I wouldn't care, we can finally create and edit playlists on the phone now without needing to have an Xbox music pass!!!! WOO HOO!

Re: Xbox music on 8.1
I for one think this is a big upgrade. Sure the initial use may take 10 minutes to sync (thats how long it took to add my 8000 songs, and yes, it was VERY unusable during that period). But after sync is complete we get:

- editable playlists
- cortana's music search takes you to THE song, not the album
- Artists and songs are playable by Cortana
- separately updatable app
Re: Xbox music on 8.1
My problem is with the cloud music - even after it took 10+ minutes to sync, whenever I reopen it, if I go straight to artists, it will take a while to load the names. Anyone else having this problem? I'm considering just giving it a hard reset ...
Is that 8000 songs on your device or in the cloud?

Xbox Video / Xbox Music does not support SD Card Move
Both Xbox Music & Video do not have the option to move to SD Card. I am assuming it's baked into the OS as the reason.
On 8.0, all videos were stored on internal storage. Has anyone tried on 8.1 yet?
It would be a pity of video and music, 2 of the biggest space hogs couldn't be moved to the SD.

Re: Xbox music on 8.1
I have about 4000 in the cloud. Each time I open the app I get "updating collection..." and it starts from the beginning again. It does this every single time. It eventually gets to the end of my collection. Then if I go and do anything else and restart XBOX Music we go through the same thing again. It takes it about 5-10 minutes each time to do this and the phone heats up while doing it. This is on WiFi as well. It would be unusable on cellular at this rate. I'm really disappointed in this. Everything else seems fine but this is awful....

Re: Xbox music on 8.1
Guys, why don't I have artists' pictures as background? It is all black now. How do I fix this, thanks.

Re: Xbox music on 8.1
I don't think it will change anything on cellular. It load your collection from the cloud only the first time. Then it simply load the list of artists from your phone. But it's really slow to load even from the phone. I hope thy will fix that. At least if you jump to another letter it loads from that letter so you don't have to wait for it to get from A to R to load artists that start with R.

Re: Xbox music on 8.1
I really miss being able to swipe through songs to skip...
Now I have to try hitting those even smaller buttons...
It feels a lot slower, where I prefer the previous one. At least its updateable.
The cloud thing is welcome, but i dont use it

Re: Xbox music on 8.1
I've noticed that podcasts are removed and is a stand alone app now... furthermore, one thing i don't like, is it took away the history, and recent tabs. one thing i hated about windows phones was the lack of features in terms of managing music. when i download songs from xbox music , i would like them to be available in a playlist of recent music. for some reason nothing i download shows up in that playlist. so i always used the recent and history tabs to find my stuff.
