With the new version of store available trough leaked versions of Blue, Winbeta managed to get their hands on a couple of screenshots of new Xbox Music app. It's in the store, but cannot be downloaded yet.

I think it actually looks usable now, this could actually be THE update we were all waiting for :) Looking forward to 26th of June.

Check it out:

Maybe

It would look more professional if they went with a light color scheme, like the Zune software.

I think it's going with the Xbox One dark theme.

This is a preview and there are about six months between now and release. Stop judging based on leaked pre-preview screenshots.

Let people have their fun, they have nothing else to judge off at the moment. Besides, it's all personal interpretation. From what I see in the shots, it will easily be more usable than what exists now for searching and adding results to playlists, at least from those shots. Will need to see the right-click context menu for selected songs.

It's MILES ahead of what the current one is.... looks great (so far)... but needs a lot more.

Also, I really hope we can sync to devices from WITHIN the app! and be able to sort by what's synced and not, and by 'heart' ratings (like Zune used to allow). Currently, the heart ratings on WP8 Xbox Music are pointless since they don't do anything anymore... whereas with Zune they were useful.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 changelog: Uses electron 42.5.0 #2452 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.6.
