Full Changelog:
The eighth update for the Windows Phone 8.1 Music App is now available in the store! Our focus for this release was primarily on enabling easy playback & reliability of the app. Please enjoy, and as always – let us know what you think!
In version 2.6.186 you will find:
- It’s easier than ever to start playback of your favorite tunes via our new Recent Plays feature!
- You can let your kids play music worry free, now that we’ve added support for music in Kid’s Corner! *Requires Update 1*
- It’s noticeably faster to launch & navigate about the app, particularly the songs, artists, and albums pages
- We also fixed several significant bugs, with a focus on:
- Album art & metadata reliability (more to come here!)
- Unexpected app exits & some black screens
- Playlists now shuffle from everywhere (not just first 100)
The next update will bring “Live Tile” and UX improvements.
