Hey guys. I'm gonna share how I made to this integration work properly.

1 - Open Xbox Music (http://music.xbox.com/) through my browser, open Settings, and (Remove all Xbox Music Pass catalog);
2 - Deleted all my music from my phone (I've made a backup);
3 - Open XBM on my phone to see if all musics are gone;
4 - On my PC I "fix" my musics Tag/Album Art with MP3Tag desktop application (see below);
5 - Open OneDrive on Chrome browser and drag some albums folders (just for test to see how XboxM handle with);
6 - Open XBM (enable streaming music) and wait XBM do "his" job;

* Xbox Music uses the tag AlbumArtist (available to edit from Mp3Tag) to group your music collection. If your album/mp3 doesn't have this tag, your album will be showed as "Unknown Artist", even if the tag Artist is filled. MP3tag it's super easy to use, you can set a AlbumArt to an entire album with just some clicks, auto-numeration and etc.

You can check with File Explorer if your tags and album art are all set.

Sorry about poor English. Hope I've help some new users.

Very well-explained. All my music is organized via TagScanner much the same way--I may try this again.

My main difference is that I use Windows Explorer to move music to Onedrive, not Chrome. I don't think that would make a difference (the last time I tried, Xbox Music on different PCs saw my music fine--it was only on WP that it saw just a few songs). Likewise, genre information was cut off.

Thanks Zapella.

Will MP3Tag fix tabs on music already stored in OneDrive?

Here's why I ask. A couple of months ago, I moved all of my music to OneDrive when I bought a new computer (I hope that with the cloud, the tedious task of moving big data every time I buy new hardware is behind me.) Anyway, if I need to fix music tags I would like to do it directly on the cloud (instead of, I suppose, downloading it, fixing the tags and uploading it again.) Will that work?

I'm fairly certain that'll work provided you make those edits on whatever your OneDrive host computer is (though I guess it's possible that if you've got OneDrive set to full synchronization on all your PCs, you can do it to any one). It's something you could test--make some major edits to one song, then see if the changes are reflected on a different device.
