Microsoft has changed the name of the music service from Xbox Music to Groove. The change should take effect starting from Windows 10. There isn’t many changes here, except for a different brand name. In a blog post yesterday, Blandon from Microsoft said:
Groove describes what people feel and do with music, and is more intuitive for our Windows 10 customers on what they’ll find with the app.
Groove comes with a new look and feel, with an improved experience for listening to and managing your music in Windows 10. Your favorite songs are a click away with built-in OneDrive integration.
Xbox Video has also been revamped simply to Movies & TV with renewed interface and direct access to Windows Store. The new feature will be rolled out to Windows 10 PC’s before reaching other devices.
Microsoft and their historic branding/naming problems.
Funny enough:
1. there’s already an cpp in the Windows/Windows Phone Store named Groove Music Player, by a totally different company.
2. “Groove” was the name of another Microsoft product. Remember Microsoft Office Groove 2007?
