Ability to listen to streaming services in-game

Music - rather leave the in race music out (for license reasons) but add a feature where you can mirror your car infotainment system to your phone. Almost like android auto or Apple car play. Where you can see the song name, band and also your phones time. This will help with music licensing and then I can play my YouTube music playlist.

Don’t know if it’s possible or not, but be the trend-setter… figure out a way for us to put in our Spotify/Tidal/Youtube/Amazon/Deezer/etc. login info in-game and listen to our own playlists while driving. This would be so amazing, no one has the same music tastes, and coming from a huge heavy metal fan, the first thing I do in EVERY forza game is turn off the radio or turn the in-game music volume down to 0. Yea I can queue up the app and listen while i’m playing the game, but it’s not the same as having the music auto-pause when i’m not racing etc.

I mean, being able to set game volume to zero would be a start…
I haven’t got Forza 5 but the fact that Forza 4 does not have a zero option for the music and will play during loading screens even with the radio off is extremely jarring, especially for someone like myself with noise sensitivities.

Add some kind of music in some sort of way, maybe “itunes” just built in to the game, that’ll be even better than some songs that are fresh for a few months and then they get old, you can just play the songs/albums you’ve bought, please add something like that, If not just license some songs at the very least, just something.

Did you know you can have Apple Music playing in the background on the Xbox? That’s my solution for adding a personal soundtrack to FM.

Something built-in and properly mixed would be nice, but the Apple Music background music feature is decent because you can change the mix percentage between the game and the music to your liking.

I miss those horizon 3 times with groove implementation but I won’t think that something like this will never come to Motorsport.

Yeah man I already did that, it’s not the game doing anything, it’s just the app already did that.

Hi,

i do think many people are missing music in FM. I guess licencing sucks, so here is idea, add ability to add our own tracks in to folder or just link with our music accounts at something like Spotify, Youtube music ect.
