On March 31st, OneDrive music streaming in Groove Music will be retired. Users wont lose their music, they will still be able to use the OneDrive web player or download their files which they can then play in the Groove Music app or anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone who is worried about losing their music can back up their Groove Music data. Using the Groove Music app, navigate to Settings and under the Privacy section there will be the option to export music info. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For gamers who love to race to music, March 31st will also see the end of Groove Music OneDrive Streaming within Forza Horizon 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
