    Hey all,


    How do I get Cortana to play music stored locally on my PC? My google-fu has failed me after several hours of looking.


    I do NOT want to use Iheart radio, spotify or any of that nonsense. Just play what I already have, whether its with groove, media player, whatever.


    All music is stored under 'This PC > Music'


    Cheers

    :)

    Cortana won't play local music

    Hi Joseph,

    Cortana plays musics that are located in a folder where Groove is set to look for music. You can add more folders to it by following this steps:

    • Open Groove Music.
    • Under Albums, click Choose where we look for music.
    • Click + to add a folder.
    • Browse for the folder that you wanted and click Add this folder to Music
      and Cortana will now play musics on the folder.

    Let us know how things go.

    Regards.

    In order to enable the Notebook icon in Cortana, I suggest you to check if you have enabled Cortana.

    To enable Cortana, please follow the steps below:

    • Go to Cortana.
    • Go to Settings.
    • Turn on “Cortana can give you suggestions, ideas, reminders, alerts”.

    Hope this helps.
