Music App...Y U NO LOOK LIKE this...

[X0LARIUM]

Ok friends,

I am in a bit of a problem again. I have a very cool Windows 8 desktop PC and I am very happy.

But there is one small issue. No a big one actually. WHY DOES MY MUSIC APP look like this?

The on the right is mine and the one on the left is how it is supposed to be right??


I downloaded the Music App from the Store.

I am on:
x64 Windows 8 Enterprise N Edition.

I think in ur settings of the music app, preferences, u have it defaulting to library view, try to swipe over to charms, settings, prefs, and change it

Id you're asking about Surface screen shot it is either volume up or down and the home button.

I might add, the app didn't come with the OS. Just downloaded it yesterday...if that helps.

My music app looks just like the Xbox one. I am using Windows 8 Pro. I didn't have to download a Music app though. Maybe it's because you're using Enterprise edition? In the attachments I added you can see that I get your default screen when I click on my music, but I can go back through the back arrow right next to the title.

Thanks Knight018. Versions the same...hmm.. I think it is because of the Enterprise N edition...

You posted this on XDA, I think a few people suggested you solutions. Didn't that work?

I have nothing in my music. I am still trying to figure out how to add my network server music storage to my music. Keeps telling me its lonely. I have my music server folder added to the music library so not sure why its not showing up. I did click on Adele in the feature tile and it allowed me to add to my music because I have that album on my server. I tried a different artist I did not have and that option was not available. So I am confused. I surely don't want to have to manually click through every artist somehow to add to my music.

Right click Music under Libraries.
w
Properties>Add (add your folder here)

Just make sure while you do this, you don't have your Music App open.

Once you are done adding it, start the Music App. All your music, in one place. Enjoy.

You have the 'N' edition. That's the EU mandated non media version. That's why you had to download the app from the store and wasn't included in the OS. Thus no Xbox Music. Also, your country may not currently be supported by the Xbox Music store.

Oh...ok, thanks. But strangely, the Music App when I got it from the store, in the screenshot has 'XBOX Music'...

Anyways, thanks.

Cheers! Try getting the regular version. The N edition may not even have WMP included.
