What was Groove Music Pass content?

Groove Music Pass content was music and music videos that could be streamed or downloaded during your Groove Music Pass subscription. The Music Pass provided you with a streaming service of songs you didn’t need to own locally to play, as well as editorial playlist recommendations and the ability to create your own playlists.

I pre-paid for an annual Groove Music Pass. What were my options?

Your recurring annual Groove Music Pass continued through December 31, 2017. If your Pass subscription extended beyond December 31, 2017, then by February 1, 2018, Microsoft gave you a prorated refund from December 31, 2017 onwards (if we were able to issue a refund to your credit card/payment instrument on file). If we were unable to refund your payment instrument on file, Microsoft provided 120% of that prorated amount in a Microsoft gift card in your Microsoft account to spend at the Microsoft Store.

If you canceled your annual Groove Music Pass subscription before December 31, 2017, then:

  • If you canceled your subscription within 30 days of the start of your subscription, we gave you a full refund if we have your credit card/payment instrument information and it supports refunds. If we couldn’t refund your payment instrument on file, we provided 120% of that amount in Microsoft gift card value.

  • If you canceled your subscription after 30 days from the start of your subscription, we gave you a prorated refund (if we could issue a refund to your credit card/payment instrument on file). If we couldn’t refund your payment instrument on file, Microsoft provided 120% of that prorated amount in Store credit.

I was a monthly Groove Music Pass subscriber. What were my options?

If your subscription extended beyond December 31, 2017, then by February 1, 2018, Microsoft provided you with a prorated refund from December 31, 2017 onwards (if we could issue a refund to your credit card/payment instrument on file).

I bought a Groove Music Pass and haven’t redeemed it. What are my options?

As of October 2, 2017, you can no longer redeem your Groove Music Pass. Microsoft will offer 120% of the value of your unused pre-paid Groove Music Pass as store credit to spend at the Microsoft Store. This offer is valid until December 31, 2018. If you haven’t redeemed your pass yet and want to get your credit, contact customer support.

I was a Groove Music Pass subscriber. Will my subscription automatically transfer to Spotify?

No. If you want access to tens of millions of streaming songs at no cost, you can try Spotify anytime with Spotify’s free offering.

I got my Groove Music Pass as part of a promotional offer. Am I eligible for a refund?

No. If you got your Groove Music Pass for free, and it didn’t come as part of another Microsoft purchase, you don’t qualify for a refund.

Will I still be able to play music I downloaded with Music Pass?

No. As of December 31, 2017, all Groove Music Pass content is unplayable, including streaming music, downloaded tracks, and music videos.

Will I still be able to play music I purchased from the Microsoft Store?

If you downloaded your purchased music to your devices before December 31, 2017, you’ll be able to play it through the Windows 10 Groove apps for PC, Xbox, and Windows Phone. Get more info about playing your music on iOS and Android devices. As of December 31, 2017, music isn't available for purchase or download in the Microsoft Store or for streaming in Groove.

Can I still download all my purchased music?

No. When Microsoft announced the discontinuation of the Groove Music Pass streaming service on October 2, 2017, we notified customers that purchased music would be available to download until December 31, 2017. Unfortunately, that window has now passed. If you've already downloaded your music, you can listen to it on your PC with the Windows 10 Groove apps for PC, Xbox, and Windows Phone. You can also transfer your purchased music from one of your devices to another device for your own personal, non-commercial use.

What happened to my purchased music if I didn't download it?

When Microsoft announced the discontinuation of the Groove Music Pass streaming service on October 2, 2017, we notified customers that music would be available to download until December 31, 2017. Unfortunately, that window has now passed. If you've already downloaded your music, you can listen to it on your PC with the Windows 10 Groove apps for PC, Xbox, and Windows Phone. You can also transfer your downloaded purchased music from one of your devices to another device for your own personal, non-commercial use.

Will I still be able to play my local music files?

Yes. Local files will still be playable with the Windows 10 Groove Music apps for PC and Windows Phone.

Will I still be able to play music from OneDrive?

No. On March 31, 2019, OneDrive music streaming in Groove Music will be retired. Get more info about OneDrive music streaming in Groove Music.

I wasn't a Groove Music Pass subscriber. How does this affect me?

Nothing has changed for you. You can continue to play your local, or purchased content that you have downloaded through the Windows 10 Groove Music apps for PC, Xbox, and Windows Phone. If you want access to tens of millions of streaming songs at no cost, you can try Spotify anytime with Spotify’s free offering.

Can I still move my music to Spotify?

No. When Microsoft announced the discontinuation of the Groove Music Pass streaming service on October 2, 2017, we notified customers that Groove Music Pass content would be available to move to Spotify until January 31, 2018. Unfortunately, that window has now passed.

What happened to my music after I moved it to Spotify?

All the music that had a match in Spotify’s catalog now appears in your Spotify library and playlists. All your purchased or uploaded non-Groove Music Pass music will remain untouched in the Windows 10 and Xbox Groove Music apps. Music you own and that is stored locally on your hard drive or on OneDrive is untouched and will continue to be playable from your local hard drive through the Windows 10 and Xbox Groove Music apps.

When moving my music to Spotify, I was asked to give Groove access to some information. What did you ask for and why?

To effectively move your music to Spotify, there were five pieces of information we needed temporary access to. After moving your music to Spotify, all the data we accessed from Spotify was deleted.

  • 'Access your subscription details' gave Groove access to your region so we could add the correct songs to your Spotify library, since song availability differs from region to region.

  • 'Access your saved tracks and albums' let Groove see what was in your Spotify library at the time so we didn't add duplicate tracks or more tracks than the library can hold.

  • 'Manage your saved tracks and albums' let Groove add tracks from your Groove collection to your Spotify library.

  • 'Access your private playlists' let Groove see what tracks you already had in playlists in Spotify so we didn't add duplicates.

  • 'Manage your private playlists' let Groove create and add songs to playlists in Spotify to replicate the playlists you created in Groove.

I can’t find all my music from Groove after moving my collection to Spotify. What happened to it?

We did our best to preserve your collection and playlists when moving, but there may have been some cases where we couldn’t find a matching song in Spotify’s collection. If you used a Windows 10 PC to move your music, we stored a list of the songs we were unable to move in a file on your computer named GrooveMigration.txt. The file is in your music library folder, which for most people is found at C:users[username]Music. Music you own and that is stored on your hard drive or OneDrive can still be played with the Windows 10 Groove Music app.

Did playlists I followed move to Spotify?

No. Playlists you created moved to Spotify, but playlists created by Groove didn't.

As a part of my Groove Music Pass subscription, I had additional OneDrive storage. What happened to that?

If OneDrive storage was included in your Groove Music Pass subscription, your storage was reduced to OneDrive’s standard free tier plan on December 31, 2017, unless you were contacted by Microsoft.

What did you do about the Groove Music Pass customers who are over their OneDrive free storage plan limit?

Microsoft followed up directly with the small number of Groove Music Pass customers in this situation and provided options to take care of their needs.

Does Spotify stream from OneDrive?

No. Spotify doesn’t stream music from OneDrive. Music you upload to your OneDrive music folder can still be downloaded to a PC for playback in the Windows 10 Groove Music app.

What’s happening to Groove Music on iOS and Android?

The Groove Music iOS and Android apps were removed from download from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store on June 1, 2018. They were retired on December 1, 2018. After that date the apps won’t work and should be uninstalled. Get more info about the Groove Music apps for iOS and Android.

Connectix Corporation was a software and hardware company, noted for having released innovative products that were either made obsolete as Apple Computer incorporated the ideas into system software, or were sold to other companies once they became popular. It was formed in October 1988 by Jon Garber; dominant board members and co-founders were Garber, Bonnie Fought (the two were later married), and close friend Roy McDonald. McDonald was still Chief Executive Officer and president when Connectix finally closed in August 2003.

Products[edit]

Primary products included these:

  • Virtual: Its original flagship product, which introduced virtual memory to the Mac OS years before Apple's implementation in System 7.[1] Virtual also runs on a motley assortment of accelerator cards for the original Mac, Mac Plus, and Mac SE, which were not supported by Apple.
  • HandOff II: The file launcher developed by Fred Hollander of Utilitron, Inc. This INIT for Macintosh solved the 'Application Not Found' problem by launching a substitute application for the one that created the file the user was trying to open. Apple would later build a similar functionality into System 7.
  • SuperMenu: The first commercial hierarchical Apple menu, developed by Fred Hollander of Utilitron, Inc. Again, Apple would make a hierarchal Apple menu standard in System 7, by buying one of the many shareware versions of the same concept.
  • MODE32: Software which allows 32-bit memory management on '32-bit dirty' Macintosh systems. Later bought by Apple and distributed for free, at least in part to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by customers who demanded to know why their 32-bit 68020 microprocessors could not access more than 8 megabytes of RAM.
  • Optima: Makes System 6 32-bit clean and puts a Macintosh IIsi into 32-bit mode. This makes all of the physical RAM addressable by System 6. It can have one application open at a time.[2]
  • MAXIMA: A RAM disk utility, better than the one that later came with the Mac OS as it saved its contents before and after reboots, while also allowing booting from the RAM disk.
  • Connectix Desktop Utilities (CDU): A collection of utilities for desktop systems, including utilities for power management (screen dimming and automatic power down), synchronizing files when multiple disks are used, and custom desktop background images.[3] A version of the CDU software received an Energy Star Compliant Controlling Device status from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on the basis of the software's power management functionality.[4][5]
  • Connectix Powerbook Utilities (CPU): A collection of utilities designed to simplify common tasks for laptop users.
  • RAM Doubler: The first product to combine compression with virtual memory. A top selling Mac utility for many years which eventually was made obsolete as Apple improved their own virtual memory. There is also a RAM Doubler for Windows 3.1 which uses compression to increase system resources, allowing more applications to run. RAM Doubler was something of a case study for porting Macintosh products to the PowerPC processor, as CEO Roy McDonald presented a paper detailing the company's porting efforts at the Sumeria Technology and Issues Conference on June 30, 1994.[6]
  • Speed Doubler: Software that combines an enhanced disk cache, better Finder copy utility, and a dynamically recompiling 68K-to-PowerPC emulator, which is faster than both the interpretive emulator that shipped in the original PowerPCs and the dynamically recompiling emulator that Apple shipped in later machines. It was made obsolete as 68K applications became less common and OS code improved.
  • Surf Express: A local proxy server designed to accelerate the web browsing experience by caching and auto-refreshing frequently visited web sites. Offered for both Mac OS and Windows 95.
  • QuickCam: The first webcam. Originally the sole design of Jon Garber, he wanted to call it the 'Mac-camera', but was vetoed by marketing, who saw the possibility of it one day becoming a cross-platform product. It became the first Connectix Windows product 14 months later, with RAM Doubler for Windows 3.1 being the next. The Mac QuickCam shipped in August 1994, RAM Doubler for Windows in April 1995, and QuickCam for Windows in October 1995. The line was later sold to Logitech. QuickCam is now considered one of the Top Gadgets of all time.[7]
  • DoubleTalk: Access Windows-Based Network Resources - Access Windows fileservers, transfer files to and from shared Windows workstations over the network and print to shared PC-based PostScript printers.[8][9]
  • Virtual Game Station: PlayStationemulation software. Sold to Sony, who bought it only after their lawsuit to stop it failed, and then dropped the product immediately.
  • Virtual PC and Virtual server: Emulation software of x86-based personal computers for the Macintosh, Windows and OS/2. Sold to Microsoft, the transaction was completed on February 18, 2003.[10]

With the sale of Virtual PC development and support, staff were transferred to Microsoft, including Connectix's Chief Technical OfficerEric Traut, but not including any of the Connectix board members or Technical Support. Its Macintosh products, including DoubleTalk, CopyAgent and RAM Doubler, were discontinued.
