Nobody can put up a fight against Spotify, and that's even with important tech companies like Apple trying their luck with Apple Music.

I haven't had this with other playlists and I can establish no reason for this weirdness, whatsoever.Nowadays we're fully aware of who the leaders of the music streaming industry are.

On one machine, it shows 8 (4 repeated twice). One, in particular, has four tracks on it. Most work and sync fine, on all machines and my phone.

My Pcs now sync music as an offline folder, using 'Offline Files' and a mapped drive, in W10 Pro (which I have on all machines, fortunately). I resorted to setting up a central copy, for my PCs and moved the One Drive music to an unmonitored folder, just as a backup (and to save me uploading it all again, if the issues got sorted!). Many were unavailable, if I went offline even though I could play them directlyįrom the card, using file explorer! It was a mess. I had all my music on a micro SD, but much of it was only available online, and I had to stream some songs on my playlist, over mobile data. It seems Groove stores them as a file type that is unreadable, by anything other than Groove.Īs for my phone, all the same issues. This would have been acceptable, except that 'Play To' comes up with the message 'This file type cannot be played' if you try to play files from that offline cache. Unfortunately, Groove does not have the ability to cast, like WMP12 does, so I use the 'Lumia Play to' app, to play to DNLA devices, such as the TV/Stereo. Several attempts never got much better results, so I decided that I'd play the game, and stopped synching music to my hard drive, and just use "Make Available Offline' in Groove wherein it copies music to the 'Music Cache' folder in the system music folder. The result was half my music appeared as 'Available Offline' and halfĪs 'Online Only' even though its all, obviously, already available offline. Just to add my experience, I put all my music (mp3s) into One Drive Music Folder, and told groove to look for music (on PCs) in the One Drive Music folder, synched to the PCs hard drive. I simply selected the option to make the playlist available offline (a selection in grove music when viewing the playlist) which then downloaded the entire playlist onto my phone storage. It appears that the playlist I was looking for was in "the cloud" somewhere (not physically located on my PC).

(BTW the renamed playlist is not showing up in the old Zune software either, I looked)įor reference I am using Windows 10 on everything (Desktop, SP3, Server, Phone )ġ1/28/15 Update: I will admit that I was ignorant of the new process for transferring music to my phone.

I really wish MS would update Groove to add the sync of Playlists to WP directly just as we could through Zune.

I have a different playlist on my phone that I loaded in the past via the WP Desktop App, but now want to change to the "Workout Large" playlist.ĭoes anyone know where I should look for my renamed playlist (it is not in the playlist folder where my music is stored on my home server)? When I fly, I do not want to have to pay for crappy in-flight wifi just to listen to music. Yes, I have uploaded all of my music to OneDrive (178GB) but I want the "Workout Large" playlist loaded on my phone to play 'offline'. I find it very, very frustrating that the change from Zune basically destroyed the utility of syncing to Windows Phone. I can see the smaller "Workout" playlists in the Windows Phone App for Desktopīut the renamed "Workout Large" is not listed. Anyway, in order to differentiate the larger playlist I renamed it ( using the rename function in Groove) to "Workout Large". I am not sure why I have so many duplicates of the smaller All are the same (291 songs) except one (464 songs) and all called "Workout". I have a few playlists listed with the same name. I have been struggling with playlist management in Groove for some time.
