    Can't play downloaded music


    I have downloaded music. When I click to play, I get a message "Can't play. We can't find an audio device. Make sure headphones or speakers are connected. For more info, search your device for "Manage audio devices." Computer is an Inspiron 3048, running Windows 10.

    Apple to Offer Unlimited Music Downloads?

    I think this is a great step in the right direction. I hope it actually works out. The only way to limit illegal downloads is for stuff like this to be implemented. And $20 extra for an ipod that I can legally download all the music I want?! That would just solidify the ipod's absolute dominance in the portable music department. Good stuff.*Smile Can't play downloaded music :)

    Can't play downloaded music

    Unabel to play Xbox music offline

    Hi Steve,

    Xbox Music on Windows Phone 8 is a little different from previous versions. Let's give something a try.

    • Open Xbox Music on your Windows Phone.
    • Tap the ellipses (..._ and tap Settings.
    • Turn off Connect with Xbox Music.
    • Turn off Xbox Box Music Collection.
    • Uncheck "Include music from the Xbox Music Store in my Smart DJ mixes."
    • Now, go back into your music list and see if any music appears. If music appears, try playing it.
    • Go and turn on Airplane mode.
    • Go back to Xbox Music and try playing the same song as 2 steps above.

    Hope this will work for you. I had a bit of a confusing time with Xbox Music because I was used to the way Zune worked on Windows Phone 7.x. I found that I had to do more than just play music, but had to go the extra step and actually download it to listen
    to it offline. A hint is to look at individual songs, not the albums, and see of they have the wireless symbol next to the song title. Those are not locally stored, but "in the cloud."

    I hope this helps!
    David
