Can I use my own music on Forza Horizon 3 for Xbox One?

[MySummerCar]

Hi, guys. I’ll buy an Xbox One (Fat Refurbished) for my birthday (with Forza Horizon 3) and I wanna know if I can play my own music, just like Windows 10 Edition? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

“Additionally, at launch all Horizon 3 players will receive a 14 day free Groove Music trial, with no obligations, just a press of a button from within the game (no credit card required). So…in addition to your OneDrive music, you’ll have access to the millions of songs on the Groove Music service to drive to. When this 14 day trial expires, you will still have the option to go to the Groove Music app and use the various trial/subscription options offered there if you’d like to continue using it. You’ll still be able to stream your music from OneDrive on the Groove Music station in game regardless. Of course while this trial is active, you can listen to Groove Music and manage your playlists on any device that supports it (Windows, Xbox One, Android, iOS, etc)”^

Background music on Xbox
The Xbox console apps Groove, Pandora, Simple Music App, and VLC can be used to play your music in the background while you play the game. Background music does not override in-game music stations. See Getting Started With Background Music on Xbox One.

For a little while now iheartradio will play in the background without being split screen anymore. I’ve been using that, especially now that there’s more options to personalize what you listen to. For what it’s worth.

I use Pandora when I run this game and Steep but check out this link for info on how to use your own MP3s.
