Windows Phone Music

Microsoft have been releasing an updates to the Windows Phone Xbox Music app every two weeks and yesterday they released another update for the app. The development team are switching focus to new features that will be introduced in Windows 10, so going forward there will be updates to the Windows Phone 8.1 version once a month.

The update this month includes fixes for various crashing issues with the app, fixed to Album art issues and fixes to syncing issues. They have also brought back the option to purchase individual songs.

This release (2.6.414.0) addresses a number of customer issues including:

Album and artist art issues:

Some local tracks not showing album art in Now Playing
