Last week, Microsoft revealed that it has placed the Xbox Music app for Windows Phone 8.1 in a particularly speedy biweekly update schedule. Today, we see the first results from that effort: The first interim update to Xbox Music for Windows Phone 8.1.
You can read about the general plans in Microsoft to Improve Xbox Music for Windows Phone 8.1, Other Platforms. In that article, I noted the biweekly schedule for updates—which is quite aggressive even in this age of rapid releases—and some of the fixes and changes Microsoft planned to deliver in this first update as well as future updates.
Today's release is identified as Xbox Music for Windows Phone 8.1 version 2.5.2842. The actual list of changes is quite a bit shorter than what I'd expected to see, but it includes:
Full Cortana integration including playing Playlists by name
UI polish to improve animations and transitions between UI views
Improved messaging for encountered errors, such as unplayable content in collections
Numerous stability fixes, including many of the reported black screens
