I am using the latest version of Windows which is Windows 10 2004.

Cortana is updated to the latest version

When i give command to cortana "Play any song"

Cortana replies "Sorry, I can't control your music here."

Please anyone help me with this.

    GuyNash - I use both local and subscription based. I am in the same boat as you I have about 50,000 songs on my drive. Yes quite a bit of music. 

    My problem is the resolution provided is for an older version of Cortana. Also I am in agreeance that the resolution only provide a solution for subscription services. 

    No I do not believe Elise read your post at all. The new Cortana as it is now cannot control any music, subscription or local.

    Does not matter what method local or subscription based...

    I ask: can you play any music on media player" Reply: "I'm sorry, I can't control your music here."...

    I also ask: 

    play my playlist journey.

    Reply: "I'm sorry, I can't control your music here."...

    1. Not the correct solution for the latest Cortana now appx package. No longer a part of the OS. 

    This does not work at all: 

    1. Open Cortana.
    2. Select Menu , then select Notebook. (Not available for the version 2004 Windows)
    3. Select Music, choose Spotify, and enter your account information. Or, create an account. - (Subscription) Does not resolve anything for locally stored music. (Again not available in the new Cortana).
