Yesterday, Microsoft released Project Spartan browser in the latest Windows 10 build. Today, the company is adding Music and Video Preview apps for the latest Windows 10 build (10049).
These apps are replacing Xbox Music and Xbox Video apps and shedding the Xbox branding. The Music app will let users browse, stream, play local songs and make playlists. Other features like dark theme, right click context menu, compact mode and others will be soon added to the app. If you have an Xbox Music Pass, you can browse our full catalog and stream or download music for offline use and discover new music with artist radio stations.
The Video app also lets you browse and play video files (including MKV!). Users can filter and sort your collection and adding a folder of videos to include in your collection. Movies and TV shows that are purchased from Xbox Video device can be browsed and played. Try starting a purchased video on one Xbox Video device and pick up playback right where you left off on another device. Other features like improved search result, device management, download movies for TV and offline pay and more.
Windows Insiders can download the Music Preview and Video Preview apps directly from the Store beta.
