Windows 10: Updates to Entertainment in Windows 10

Is that a statement or a question? Are you saying Groove is available on anything?

 

Yes, the same as xbox music

 

This might explain why they went with Groove over just Music. They'll want to unify the name across all platforms. Groove stands out and probably isn't used by other developers. I suspect we'll get updates to the iOS and Android apps to change names at the very least. Hopefully bug fixes and new features will be added also.

 

be nice to see more people take this up

always good to have competition, IMO, more choice of what service to go for

 

OK not being an XBox person, I didn't know. I will check that out, I doubt I use it, unless purchase prices are better.

Oh and I stand corrected, I said Google Play allowed you to upload 20,000 songs, that is wrong, it is now 50,000 songs of free storage. I can't imagine having that large of a collection.

 

That's why they are rebranding, people think you need an xbox to use it

you can easily get 30GB of storage for free to use with your music with MS, so not sure how many songs that is

 

Depends on record quality I would think. I have 11,000 songs using 256kbps quality and it is like 56GB so i would say at 128kbps (what they deem CD quality) it would roughly be 10,000 songs.

 

. . .iTunes forever. . .*Smile

 

11,000 songs - wow. It would only take 23 days at 24 hrs per day to listen to them!

 

I feel like a little leaguer compared to some peoples collections. Actually I owned a club and dance bar during the late 90's, that is the reason for the amount. Left overs *Smile

 

I have amassed a measly total of over 500 gb of free Onedrive. From a combo of 200gb free with my Surface 2 purchase promo, 100gb free when they gave that out with the rebrand from Skydrive and another 100 I gave myself from just using Bing and getting rewards points.

I haven't spent a penny and my whole collection is up there to listen to whenever and on whatever I want, not to mention I took advantage of the Xbox Music pass deal for $38/yr. Can't beat that! The choice is clear for me.

 

I prefer my music collection on my M(usic) and N(ew Music) drives on 2 of my PC's. Mostly FLAC and 320K Mp3. 695GB over 67,000 files. I have this collection backed up to about 5 computers, an external hard drive, the original cd's and DVD's. My music is always available on my own storage cloud. I use Winamp to play the music. Just hit play folder and away we go. Probably still be playing My Music on Windows 7 Ultimate as Windows 10 is just too much in your face sell me stuff. Why on earth would you want to pay to stream music when you can listen to your own collection or even listen to free online radio stations? I guess I am just set in my ways.

 

You're not the only one. *Smile

I currently have >10,000 mp3 on my PC (~71 GB).
