Sometimes when I play music using Xbox music either streaming or from my collections I get error c101a053 can't play this file.it will happen a few times then work . Doesn't anyone know why?

Im having this problem right now. Just cant stream music in any device. My problem is, I live in an unsupported country. I just tried to play music from a vpn to see if the problem was the ip, but I still cant access it. Guess I will have to cancel my subscription.

I can't download or stream anything in the US right now. I think Xbox Music is down.

Same here. No luck playing music on my phone or Windows 8. This seems to happen way to often to me. I hope they can get this fixed sometime soon!

I guess I will just wait if its a widespread problem.
Thanks.

I saw a notice on Xbox website that Xbox music and video service is temporarily unavailable. Check Xbox.com for more info

Yep, just searched the problem, found this thread, and checked xBox music. Definitely a known, and really annoying, issue.

I wish there was an alert we would get on our phone whenever the service goes down so we don't have to look on the internet for these issues

But it is also doing it wirh music in my collection, music that I put into the phone

^ Try turning off the connect with Xbox music option, see if that helps. Everything seems up and running for me again right now. Watching Xbox music as I'm typing this.
