Music rights...

[Elvis7]

I went to do some training today and docked my phone in the system to play some songs. To my surprise, half my songs (40/95) ish , were grayed out and I was getting the message (sorry, you don't have the rights to play this song). These songs have been with me for over 5 years, they have been ripped from cds and radio,YouTube, friends. I figured it was just the Xbox music app being crappy as usual so j downloaded different music players from the store but non of them could see the songs that Xbox music labeled as nono... What the heck is going on? How do I go back to listening to my music?

It's more likely that Xbox Music probably no longer has the rights to those songs for you to stream.

 

[Elvis7]

But I'm not streaming them. They are on my SD card...

 

[jhoff80]

Huh. Well then that's really weird. Have you tried rebooting your phone?

 

[Elvis7]

Ya, I have to reboot it daily due to the Bluetooth issues.. Two Soft resets a day keeps the bugs at bay...

So this is not a common music problem then? I cannot seem to find info about it.

Your problem is that you're using an SD card.Microsoft never fixed the problem. Its the reason I got an iPhone. The music experience is leaps and bounds above Microsoft's music experience.

I dont have room on my phone for music, are you sure that its the problem? Why would I be allowed to play my own music. This makes no sense. Does anyone have a link to the Microsoft feedback forums for the dev preview?

I'm having the same problem, things I've ripped from CD don't work.

same problem here, but on the phones internal memory. some of the music works, but others do not.
