What's happening to the Groove Music app? The Windows 10 Groove Music apps for PC and Windows Phone will continue to play all the music you’ve purchased and downloaded but will no longer stream or play any Groove Music Pass content. The Groove Music Pass streaming service was discontinued on January 1, 2018. We’ll continue to update the Windows 10 Groove Music app for PC, Xbox, and Windows Phone so you can play and manage the music you’ve purchased and downloaded to these devices, but the app will no longer stream or play Groove Music Pass content. If your Pass subscription went beyond December 31, 2017, we will give you (or already gave you) a prorated refund or a Microsoft gift card (see timing details below). On January 1, 2018, the Groove Music Pass streaming service was discontinued.
We know that access to the best streaming experience, the largest catalog of music, and a variety of subscriptions are top of your list. On October 2, 2017, we announced that we'd be partnering with Spotify to bring the world’s largest music streaming service to you. Revised on June 1, 2018, upon announcement of the discontinuation of the Groove Music iOS and Android apps.
