Great app! A few suggestions though... – Microsoft Groove Review

I love using Groove Music not only on the phone, but on my Windows 10 computer as well! The ability to easily sync my music across my devices is something that I think iTunes does not support well. Although I could be wrong since I've had no reason to try lately, if I had music I wanted to keep synced across my devices using iTunes, I'd need to plug my phone into the computer every time I wanted to do so. Groove Music's compatibility with OneDrive certainly gives it an edge in that aspect! In addition, I love how fast it loads and plays music (more so on the PC, the mobile app only loads as fast as the native Music app). That being said, I do have a couple of suggestions (though nothing major). First off, the previous Groove "build" (for lack of better terms) had the ability to sort by genre, and that's something I miss in this new build. Secondly, shuffling music from the main "songs" page more likely than not plays initially one of my 10 first songs (out of over 250!). I don't know if this is a bug, a flawed RNG design or what, but after the first song, it plays in as random an order as it gets. Finally, this is just a small pet peeve, but I don't like that it chooses to use Album Artist over just plain old Artist when viewing the main Artists page. Some of my music does not belong to an Album, so the music file has no Album nor Album Artist tag. This causes that Artist to not appear in the Artists page unless they have another song that belongs to an Album. None of this matters to me that much, since I usually just hit the shuffle button and forget about it. However, one thing that I'd really like to have is the ability to use the music position slider thing (I think it's called a "scrubbing bar" or something like that) outside of the app (lock screen and control center). Whoever's in charge of reading this, have a good day!
