Background music playback won't be coming to Xbox One before summer

4.8
Since Microsoft rolled out the New Xbox One Experience in November, new features have been added. There are still plenty of features in development, but one feature that is at the top of the list won't be making it's way to the Xbox One for some time.

That feature is background music playback, which will let you have the ability to open a music app on the console, and then jump into a game full-screen while the music continues to play.

Phil Spencer responded to a tweet saying that it won't be out "before summer."

It would had already been added if that was the case.

Fortunately I'm not too worried about this.

It isn't that hard to play music from your phone or MP3 player right next to you anyways so this wait is not that big of a deal, at least for me it isn't.

Get the code from the regular xbox build... I listened to mixed cd that had been downloaded on my system during multiplayer.

I don't particularly mind considering I listen to music through my PC instead, but this feature is something that tons of people are annoyed with its absence. As others have said I can't imagine it being that hard of something to implement, just seems they're being lazy about it.
