Xbox_Music_Windows_Phone_81.jpg

Despite the fact Windows Phone 8.1 has been garnering some fantastic reviews from both tech pundits and the masses, it?s not all roses and ponies. I was reminded of this last night when playing with the Xbox Music app that comes with 8.1.
On the surface, the app looks decent. It?s a continuation of the new app structure started late last year by Microsoft, which replaces the ?built in? Music + Video hubs of the past. Microsoft is changing the architecture so that the Windows Phone Team can quickly add new features and fix bugs, all without an OS update.
But let?s not mince words: the music experience on Windows Phone 8.1 is subpar, and it has become worse since 8.0.* In fact, it sits with a pathetic 2.5 stars (out of 5) on the Store, which is awful for a Microsoft app.
