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:
