Ah, I guess this means they won't be fixing the groove xbox app. 

 

the new groove UWP app was in the "ready to install" list. but it only shows the "coming soon" screen with a button to launch the current one that won't play my music :)

Netflix UWP now both installs AND runs.

 

Unfortunately the Groove UWP app still only shows the "coming soon" page when you start it.  But I guess this means that the available third party UWP apps now work. 

Yeah the Groove one is the only one I want to use anyway :D

Just as an update for those who haven't found out yet.

Groove UWP now works as well. and yes, it supports background music.

 

now it's time for Spotify, Apple and Tidal to step up and provide some UWP's instead of their variety of ###### programs.

I very much doubt you are going to see Apple Music on any console, any time soon.

 

And Spotify released a small update a few weeks ago:

 

“Right now we’re focused on our exclusive partnership with PlayStation, we don’t have any info regarding other consoles,” read the reply.

As for Tidal, it's probably going to be bought up by Apple.

Yeah, I know Apple probably won't. As for Spotify, they like to not say things untill they happen. and if they focus to much on their PS partnership they risk losing customers to Groove that is on all platforms. 

 

Tidal... ah we'll see what happens with them, they where better when they where WIMP anyway. if they allow themselves to be bought out, they die. if they want to survive they need to grow, and to grow they need more market. 

 

At this rate though, I'll be back on Groove though.  as I don't like using multiple services and I need to use groove for the xbox. so far I stream my uploaded one drive music, but I like sharing my playlists on all devices...

I'd love to have Spotify on the Xbox One, since I pay for the service (can't get groove in my country), if they're still locked to PS oh well, just a waiting game then.

I would hope Spotify, outside of their "lack of interest" in making an xbox one app. would move their regular windows app to UWP. since it's far superior to their crappy web wrapper they currently use. And if they do, they get xbox compatibility as part of it.

I agree, the funny thing is they do have a Windows Mobile app, so why not just do a whole new UWP app for desktop and phone and also Xbox One to?   They could be working on it though?  Only time will tell.

Didn't MS make the mobile app ?

Not the newest one, I don't think so.  Maybe the older version that was more metro with it's UI, but the newest one should be from Spotify, it shares the same UI as the Android and iOS versions.

    • KillerPDF 1.4.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

      "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By grunger106 · Posted

      The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
