Much better, still needs some optimizations – Microsoft Groove Review

Updated Oct 2017: This app seems to take 1 step forward and 2 steps back sometimes. The newest release now doesn't pause the music when you remove headphones from the audio jack. It also keeps playing the music when I make a call so I can hear both the person on the phone and the music. Also, why is it that when I scroll up on the main player the list of songs doesn't automatically scroll to the active song? I have to always scroll down to find the current song (highlighted in blue). Now that groove music is canceled, hopefully they build a decent app that actually can compete with other music apps. I'd love to see a redesigned (written from scratch) app. I have all my songs on the onedrive and would love to continue to listen to them. Updated May2017: There are still many quirks to this app. Shuffle: I always feel that the same songs are constantly being shuffled Skip/Back doesn't work as expected when using the headphone buttons (it doesn't start the song from beginning but instead goes to the previous song) Initial playback of a song starts and plays for 1 second and then starts again. Search: the app never returns results from your OneDrive. Original review: This version is much closer to the windows phone edition but there is one serious issue with battery utilization. Listening to music for 1hr20 mins (with the screen off) ate 62% of my battery! Also, would be nice to get a view of the songs its downloading rather than just x of y downloaded.
