On my desktop, Groove music is not finding any of my local music files that I have in the folders I have added (mostly my existing iTunes folders). I've tried resetting the app but still no luck. Grabbing my OneDrive files with no problem.
Any thoughts?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
You need to create a new user who is an administrator and forget your old account. Once you do this and login set grove to find your music folder and it will work. Make sure you have all your files and settings set with your new user profile, then you can just delete your old profile whenever you feel ready. This did the trick for me and like you I tried everything.
I've tried logging out and back into Groove with my Microsoft account but that hasn't made a difference. Groove still cant find any of my music. :(
Are you still having problems with it? I had this same problem for a while. I realised I wasn't logged into Groove with my Microsoft account. When I logged in it refreshed the entire library and detected the new music I added. It might be something as simple as logging out and back in again
Okay, so was there ever a resolution to this? I started a thread but see that this was an old problem that just cropped up for me today. I added two new albums and Groove just ignores them (they were added to the same place all my other music is but won't add). I've tried resharing etc but no help. Anybody????
I was following this thread and came across your comment, so I just checked my recycle bin, which was showing 'full' for no good reason. It turned out to have ~1200 music files dumped in it! I can only think that Groove did this somehow, as they are on SD card, and should not have been accessed by any other programme.
Like everyone else, I'm astonished at how bad the MS music apps have been getting on WP and Win10. Making me paranoid about file deletions really doesn't help.
