The disappearance of groove music makes cortana unable to identify songs

A few months ago, Microsoft made the decision to end Groove Music, something that took effect at the beginning of the year. A decision that also affects one of the functions of Cortana, the virtual assistant for Windows. Since from now on you will not be able to recognize songs that play in the background through the Cortana menu.

The disappearance of Groove Music makes Cortana unable to identify songs

It was a feature that is very reminiscent of Shazam and was popular with users. Since it gave you the possibility to identify a song that sounds through Cortana. The worst thing is that Microsoft itself had not reported at any time that this function disappeared.

Consequences of the end of Groove Music

The song identification function was easy to use. Just press and hold the Cortaba music icon while a song is playing. And then that topic was going to be identified. But this is no longer possible since the Cortana does not have access to the Groove Music library. So when users try to use the function, a message appears saying “unrecognized song”.

Without a doubt it is a notable loss, since they were two services that were well integrated and gave a good service to users. Although the closure of Groove Music may be understandable, it seems that Microsoft has not managed to manage it completely well.

In addition, the company has long sought to promote the use of Cortana by all means. In fact, they give more and more prominence to the assistant. But, with decisions like these they do not help an assistant who has not conquered the users.
