How to Import iTunes Libraries into Groove Music App

Microsoft re-branded its Music app to?Groove Music some time ago, and it looks like a great music service now. But, some people are making use of some other music services, like iTunes, as well, and they could want to move their iTunes library into Groove Music. So, I'm going to show you the right way to do that in this article.

Microsoft wants new users for its new music app, so it featured an option which allows you to import your iTunes libraries into Groove Music with just a few clicks. So, if you decided to switch from Apple's music service to Microsoft's, you don't have to loose your time to organize your libraries and playlists, for whom you worked hard to create in iTunes, you just have to stick to these instructions, and you'll have your iTunes library in Groove Music in a matter of seconds:

Open Groove Music and open hamburger menu Open Settings (gear-like icon) Under Music on this PC, click on Import iTunes Playlists

This option will scan your iTunes account for the playlists and it will import all of them into your Groove Music app.

So, as I said, this is often a great way to attract some new users into applying Groove Music. And if Microsoft didn't include this option, a lot of users wouldn't even bother to create new playlists from scratch, instead, they would rather stick with their current music service.

Are you using Groove Music for your music streams, or you just prefer some old-fashioned ways, like YouTube? And if you do use the app, what are your impressions about Microsoft's latest music streaming service? Tell us your experience in the comments.

Microsoft made Cortana to be possibly the most useful feature of Windows 10. But, also had one hidden intention with Cortana. Applying Cortana is the great way to promote Microsoft's own search engine, Bing! So, by default, you can't change the default search engine in Cortana, but with a few simple tricks, that is possible.?

As changing your default browser in Microsoft Edge is enabled by Microsoft, which is known as a good move, since if it was?otherwise, it could drive away a lot of users, Microsoft didn't include this feature in Cortana. But, just a couple of days after the release of Windows 10, some developers came up with the resolution. Namely, they developed and released a couple of extensions for Google Chrome which redirect the Cortana's search results from Bing to Google.

So, if you're working with Google Chrome as your default browser, just download and install one of the following extensions and every time you search for something with Cortana, results from Google will appear in your browser: Bing2Google (Google only) and Chrometa. Once installed these extensions will redirect the same term you typed in Cortana's search from Bing to Google.

If you are working with Firefox as your default browser, redirecting your search result from Bing to buy software online is even simpler. Actually, you do not have to do anything at all. That's since the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, 40, comes with this option as a built-in feature. So, you just have to use Firefox as your default browser, and update to the latest version, if you didn't yet.

This was completely expected, due to the fact Mozilla CEO, Chris Beard recently called out Microsoft for ‘"pushing Edge to Windows 10 users over the rival's browsers.' So, we can interpret this as Mozilla's direct ‘"glove in the face' to Microsoft, Bing and Edge. You will discover not respond on this from Microsoft, yet, but if things like this continue to happen, we could witness the beginning of the war between two huge companies, Mozilla and Microsoft.

If you use Edge as your default browser, you cannot re-direct your Cortana search results from Bing to Google, even if you set Edge as your default browser. And you shouldn't expect this option in the future, given that it won't make any sense for Microsoft to allow you to let Cortana search Google on Edge.
