We made it to Friday! Before we consider our weekend plans, let's look back in time.

Hopefully sometime before the Zune Software gets its plug pulled on connectivity to the Xbox Marketplace, Microsoft will figure out how to FIX the Xbox Music service.įor example, I was originally going to rip everything to my Xbox - 200GB of unused hard drive, music storage seems like a great use - OOPS. but keep the WP7.8 as a Media Player (which will continue to sync with my -now obsolete- Zune software running on a Win7PC).

Long term plan is to upgrade to WP8 (after - and *IF* - AT&T ever delivers the v7.8 upgrade). My entire music collection is on a local drive, and I can choose on a song-by-song basis what I want synced to the WP, and I can do, or undo, those choices on-demand from the Zune software with a simple mouse-click. Personally, I'm still using a WP7 and I'm quite happy with using the Zune software to sync to the WP. Either are cloud-storage, although there's no limits with Amazon. XBOX Music, or Amazon Music with a web-based cloud player. If you WP8, then you really don't have a choice. I guess, for starters, it depends on what version of Windows Phone you have. I was never an iTunes fan but if Microsoft is going to win over iPhone fans, the music portion HAS to get fixed.Īny one have suggestions or any news on fixes for this?

I am still hopeful for a fix but don't see one soon, even with Windows 8.1
It manages our music much better than the current applications. I'll listen to my cloud playlists on the XBOX Music app but we need something like the Zune Player. Trust me, I've tried and tried over the months since XBOX Music was released but given the sync issues I had recently with the Desktop Windows Phone app, I'm done. I've pretty much given up keeping some kind of order to my music anymore. On the XBOX? Nope.limited to one playlists with 1000 songs or less. On the phone, I have to add each one to NOW PLAYING.
OK, on the XBOX Music App, I can select multiple playlists and it will play them in Shuffle mode just fine. How do I get it there? Since syncing is a joke, I need it in the cloud. In addition, I have music not in the XBOX Music Store that I'd like to send to the cloud. Sometimes, I'd like to play all but for example, I'd like to exclude Christmas music that is in the cloud. And there is really no way to manage the cloud music. Playlist creation is quite cumbersome compared to the aforementioned Windows Media Player or even Zune Player. However, album art and even backgrounds and artist info is very spotty when playing on the phone. Granted, I've been able to create "cloud based" playlists and access them over my devices (PC, Surface, Windows Phone) and it works fairly well.

I want to be able to, on the fly, download an album to my phone and not have to battle with the sync issues and the "in collection" issues.Ĭloud - The music cloud is pretty much unmanageable. Yeah, there is a nifty third party app to help with the album art but we shouldn't have to do this.

So basically, I have to go back to the PC and manually copy of music over to a folder. However, if I come to an album listed as "In Collection", I cannot download it to my phone. So, I decided to do it the hard way by downloading to my phone, adding music to NOW PLAYING and then saving the playlist. Not only do I have to use the aging Windows Media Player to make my playlists but the latest "Desktop" Windows Phone app the other day deleted my music on my phone and even if I uncheck, sync and re-check my playlists, it will not re-sync. Syncing To Phone - In this day and age of "limited" data, cloud music makes little sense unless you plan on being in a lot of Wi-Fi spots. I've been sticking with XBOX Music for a while now but it has become almost unusable:
