Groove for Windows 10 Mobile update adds radio and explorer features to the app

Microsoft’s Groove music player app for Windows 10 Mobile has been updated adding a couple of features missing since the app launched. Up until now the Radio and Explorer buttons in the app just said coming soon but the latest update has added in the features.

With the radio section of the app you can create instant playlists based on your selected artists, just type in their name and off it goes with a custom playlist (you need a Groove music pass for it to work). The explore section enables you to browse the Groove music collection directly from the app (which also requires a music pass).

Other changes to the app include the app will now show you last played song and it has improvements to the metadata when playback over Bluetooth.
