Now you can listen to Podcasts while playing Elite on Xbox One!

A great system update arrived on Xbox One today. If you download an app called "Cast" - you can now listen to podcasts while playing Elite Dangerous. This is a great update on the system and makes Elite Dangerous more enjoyable to play :)

Still a fail... original Xbox & 360's were able to copy CD's to HDD for background listening purposes. I'd rather not stream something when I already have a CD of the music I want to listen to especially since I have a monthly data cap.

Apparently the Groove app is getting background music upgrade on a later date. You can then listen to your own music by putting the tracks into Onedrive. But yes it sucks that you cannot listen straight out of a CD.

I couldn't even find half the CDs I installed on my Pro 360 in 2006 when I picked up my Gears of War slim console in 2012 and all my music was on my iPod. So it's in no way a fail for me. I'll use Pandora until support for Iheartradio is available, then I won't need to worry about my phones battery life while streaming music and playing.
 
According to Major Nelson, Pandora is supposed to be one of the first music apps to work in the background but I just tried it and it's not working yet. Soon I hope.

The video on the dashboard shows it in action and how it works, I'm guessing they're maybe still ironing it out in the preview program. Shame it didn't go public with the update but hopefully soon, already got a Clint Mansell station saved for my voyages lol
 
Pandora may work for US users however it's NOT available in Canada! Looks like it's just another half baked feature not ready for prime time.

Pandora's updated app hasn't been released to the public yet. You're way too dense for me to keep replying to your crying, so I'll just leave it at that.

Just because other people's comments are counter to your position doesn't make it crying! Don't expect everyone to jump on your fan-boy bandwagon when we have valid concerns. Educate yourself, a new Pandora app won't fix this issue for Canadians:

So, can I login on Spotify via edge and play elite as well?

So, after some testing i figured this is an another useless feature if you are located outside the US or UK.

This whole summer update is in fact useless out side the US and the UK.

There's places outside of the US and UK? :eek:

Kidding... I never figured out why exactly Canada/Mexico would be excluded from such updates (at least for the time being) since, you know, they are right there.

Pandora and Cast are the only programs supporting this feature right now, but Groove should get this feature soon (you can subscribe, or listen to your own mp3s via Onedrive). Spotify has a contract with Sony so Xbox is not getting it at least for a while.
