Xbox Music not available for 928?

[rockyTop10]

I was going to try Xbox Music out because all of Spotify's mobile apps are garbage but when I tried it I had some issues with it. So I decided to uninstall Xbox Music and was then going to reinstall it. Except it doesn't show up in the store and when I found a link to it on the web it told me it wasn't available on my device or region (USA). What gives? **** like this is why I am considering a move back to Android.

For an app change your device, not a good idea .
What version does your phone run?

have you tried Nokia MixRadio?

MixRadio doesn't have the widespread coverage that I'm looking for. Right now my Spotify account connects my phone, PC, and iPod in my car without needing to plug anything in, ever. The last piece of the puzzle would be my Xbox One, which is why I was considering a move to Xbox Music.

Any ideas on how to force Xbox Music back onto my phone? Think a hard reset would bring it back?

I'm running WP version 8.0.10517.150 (Lumia Black).

Considering you are running 8.0, I don't see how you were able to uninstall xbox music since its still part of the OS. You can't install the stand alone XBM since thats 8.1 only.

Check your apps for Music? You can't possibly have deleted part of the OS. Else a hard reset is the only way.

What Narathan said... Since you are still on 8.0, you still have the Music and Video Hub and can use that.

The one you found in the store is probably the 8.1 version. Let me see if I can find the link for the 8.0 preview version.

I found the old article from last year that talked about them putting it out and they had this link in it.

Music | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)

That still looks like the 8.1 version, so I don't know......

You could always upgrade to 8.1. preview. I really, really love it on my 928.

Do you have a good link on how to do that? Thanks
