Although streaming services like Spotify are now in vogue, most of us still have a stash of MP3 music files on a hard drive. Beginning today, you can now upload them to Microsoft’s OneDrive, and play them back via Xbox Music.
You could always upload MP3 files to OneDrive—or pretty much any other file, for that matter. But OneDrive wouldn’t play them back, and there was no easy workaround. Microsoft is finally catching up, years after Google allowed you to upload your own MP3 files to Google Play, Apple to its iCloud, or Amazon to its own music service.
Why this matters: By now, most music lovers subscribe to a streaming service, or ad-supported apps like Pandora stream in the background. With large SD cards and external hard drives, stashing your music in a folder and trucking it around with you isn’t that big of a deal. Still, storing your music in the cloud is a convenience, and one that Microsoft should have offered long ago.
