Groove Music Album Art Not Showing
Sacha Weakland
I opened some mp3s on Windows 10 and Groove Music is launched as default app to reproduce them... Well, I was looking to have songs bitrate shown in current playlist (together with song title, duration, etc...) or maybe somewhere to look at properties of the current playing song or one of the other in the list, staying inside Groove app of course, but I really can't find anything to make it show... is it me missing something or is it Groove app just don't support showing that information?
After Reddy Lutonadio's (whom I thank for the help) answer, I'm almost convinced that, at the time I'm writing, Groove Music app really doesn't provide the possibility to show/know my audio file's bitrate.
P.S.I like Winyl the most 'cause, just like Groove Music, it has a "out-of-the-box" crossfade effect when you pass from a song to another or when you pause/resume or stop a song plus it let's you filter/search music and that's absolutely needed when you have a HUGE library to rummage in, looking for "that mood song"...
P.P.S.For completeness I must say Audacious is also great imho and has the crossfading feature as well that can be activated if you wish, just look for it among plugin effects. Having the possibility to choose whether to activate it or not is for sure a MUST for a music lover as some albums (like for instance one of Pink Floyd's masterpiece, The Dark Side Of The Moon) get "ruined" by an "always-on" crossfade effect.
Ritual Groove Music is the debut album by Swiss pianist, composer, record producer and author r Nik Brtsch's band Mobile recorded in Switzerland in 2000 and first released on the Tonus Music label in 2004.[1]
The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos called it "A tip-of-the-iceberg recording, in the figurative and literal sense, one can speculate this is a mere beginning, almost child's play, for what Brtsch and his crew have in store for the future of his compelling and singularly original music".[2] On All About Jazz Budd Kopman noted "For the most part, the tracks sound spliced together, which only further enhances the trance-like effect the music can have. The album thus sounds like a show with terrific pacing, bringing the listener up and down by changing parameters such as overall pitch and speed of the figures".[3]
Groove Music offers one of the most comfortable ways to listen to music on your computer. The app lets you play any locally-stored audio file, and you can easily import all the albums you have purchased to instantly get the metadata. Doing this will give you the data, album cover or lyrics for each song. As if all this weren't enough, the app is also 100% compatible with Spotify.
Groove Music users can use the app as their music hub. The first thing you will have to do is open the settings and choose the folders you want the program to search for music. As soon as you add a few folders, you will be able to see how the app starts importing and organizing songs according to artist and album. This step is not only important, but it is the most convenient way to organize your music gallery.
Once your music is all ready in Groove Music, you can start enjoying it. In the settings, you can choose between several preset options to improve the audio quality depending on which genre you listen to most. You can also choose between several visual styles for the music: a blurred album cover, minimized in a corner of the screen, full screen, and so on.

Those of you who are familiar with the Windows 10 version of Groove will find the new app on Xbox very easy to use. If you're used to the previous Windows 8-based app, here's some handy tips and tricks to help you adjust!
As of writing, Groove is only available on the Xbox One Preview. If you install the app on your non-Preview Xbox, it will give you a "Coming Soon" screen. Either way, here's how you currently install Groove on the Xbox One.
Some Universal apps on the Xbox One use a mouse-like cursor for navigation, but all of the Microsoft-produced apps utilize element highlighting. Presumably, Microsoft hopes that all developers make bespoke controls for their Xbox app versions in the future. Groove is an excellent example of how a complex app can ditch the mouse-like cursor and remain intuitive.
Groove is a collection-based music service, allowing you to save albums into a cloud collection for use across a limited number of devices. Groove is currently available on Windows 10 PCs, phones, iOS, and Android.
To utilize Groove's services, you need to either purchase music from the store or set up a Groove Music Pass subscription. Groove Music costs $9.99 per month in the U.S. and 8.99 per month in the UK and gives you access to millions of albums to collect and stream. It also comes with 100GB of OneDrive storage which allows you to save MP3s to the cloud for streaming as well.
Note: Technically, you can use Groove Music for free by storing MP3s in the 5GB complimentary space that comes with OneDrive on your Microsoft account. See further below for a guide on how to do that.
Note: If you delete OneDrive music from Groove, it will also remove the files from your OneDrive storage. It might take a little time for OneDrive music to appear in your Groove apps.
Groove now features curated playlists generated automatically and by a team of editors. Your Groove creates playlists based on your listening habits and preferences, while the Explore tab has featured playlists for all types of activities, moods, and scenarios.
Groove has transformed into an excellent music service, rising out of the ashes of the Windows 8 era's "Xbox Music." The app was rebuilt from the ground up for the Universal Windows Platform, meaning some features were missing in earlier incarnations of Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile.
As we move into the future, Groove Music is picking up functionality we haven't seen since the Zune days, such as metadata editing. It looks as though we have finally escaped Microsoft's reboot-a-rama of the past few years when it comes to its music offering. It finally feels safe to look forward to additional features and polish for this version of Groove, rather than expect complete overhauls.

Groove Music is Microsoft's answer to iTunes and comes included with Windows 10. It offers a way for you to build and access your music collection, and, as with any good music player, it allows you to create playlists using your library of tracks.
Even if you haven't used Groove Music before, its standard controls should be fairly familiar. When you click on a song to play it, you'll see its details appear along the bottom edge of the Groove window. The album cover art is displayed, along with song and artist info, a progress bar and standard playback controls.
With the Groove window open, you should see your music collection listed by album, artist or song. If you don't have a collection in Groove Music yet, you can import existing media, which we'll cover in Step 3, or purchase new music from the Windows Store.
Click the three lines in the app's top-left corner to access the sidebar. From here you can do a number of things, but for now click the option to 'Get music in Store'. You can search the Windows Store by artist or album name.
Build up your Groove Music collection by setting up watch folders. To do this from the sidebar, click the 'Settings' cog. Look for the heading 'Music on this PC' and click 'Choose where we look for music'.
