Gallery: Xbox Music App update on Android and iOS

 

We have already shown you the new Groove branding for Microsoft's music app on Windows 10 today and now there are updates for the Xbox Music app on Android and iOS.

These updates do not include the new Groove name however, they do finally deliver the ability to stream or download your music stored on OneDrive without the need for an Xbox Music Pass.

The complete list of changes in this update:

  • You no longer need Xbox Music Pass to use the app! (Certain features still require it)

  • Music in your OneDrive music folder now appears as part of your collection

  • In addition to playlists, you can now download individual songs and albums for offline use

  • Filter your music to see just what's available offline

  • Various bug fixes

Since I do not have an iOS device I can not show you that version of the app but this is a collection of screenshots from the updated Android app on my LG G4.

Richard Hay

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
