On the filter instead of OneDrive check the filter with 1)available offline to see the total songs on your device which have downloaded, 2)streaming to see the total needed to download, and 3) All to see the full total of songs streaming/ and offline match the songs you have saved in OneDrive. I had songs still downloading for a couple days not sure why, but eventually all my songs were downloaded. Groove app does that and it will take awhile for download. It sounds like you are saying that you can manually download an album (and it goes to the default music location) AND there is a OneDrive cache, so potential for the same music to be downloaded twice? Sorry for all the questions.The steps you took should work fine. At the moment I have the storage for music set to SD card, but where does the OneDrive cache go to. So far only A to E has uploaded to OneDrive from my Synology NAS. Groove kicks into life every now and again, and shows more music (that on occasion has the bio info as well). So there is an option to download all? At the moment I have the filter on for OneDrive only. I believe it is now all imported, though it has yet to pull all the artists info, which is odd. and disabling the lock screen helped too. This seemed to work as I could see it adding music. So I then connected the phone to the computer and was simultaneously viewing different directories on the SD card whilst playing music in Groove (I actually did a search for *.mp3 to keep the card/connection active). Great! I left all the music on shuffle with it playing hoping that would keep the app open, but alas when I next looked Groove was open, but the import had stopped. So, is the issue that Groove is force closed by power management? I opened up Groove again and it started importing again.

Then when I come back a while later the app was closed and when opened only a token gesture was imported.

I set it to preview builds instead of fast ring this time and updated, and then spent a good four hours getting everything working again (my backup was semi-corrupt having done an auto back up following the fresh factory reset.)Īnyway, once back to square one I opened up the Groove Music app, and it started to add music. However, I soon found that it would not put the phone into recovery/flash mode, so spent too much time working on that (do a soft reset then hold the - volume until the ! appears).Įventually I got the phone up again, though on 8.1 unfortunately. OK, after a step backwards with a factory reset (and losing 5Ghz wireless in the process), I decided that I had nothing to lose by using the Windows Phone Recovery Tool.
