We will continue to invest in and update the Groove Music app on all Windows devices to support playback and management of owned music, but after December 31, 2017, the Groove Music app will no longer offer the option to stream, purchase, and download music.
Transition your music with just a few clicks
Beginning this week for Windows Insiders and rolling out broadly next week**, Groove Music Pass subscribers will be able to easily transition existing music collections and playlists to Spotify with a few clicks.
Here’s how:
Launch the latest Groove app: Log into the latest Groove app version from the Windows Store or Xbox One. Once you’re signed into your account, you’ll see a pop-up window from Spotify with instructions on how to login or create a Spotify account.
Log in to Spotify:
If you have an existing Spotify account, you’ll be prompted to input your username and password.
If you’re new to Spotify, and on your PC, you’ll be asked a few basic questions to help you create an account, starting with a username.
Prompt asking users to connect Groove Music to their Spotify account by signing into Spotify or creating a new Spotify account.
Move your music: After signing into your Spotify account, we’ll move your music collection and playlists from Groove Music to Spotify.
Play music in Spotify: The process of moving your music to your Spotify account will take a few minutes. After completing step three, you’ll be able to listen to your music library in the Spotify app!
