    They'll probably kill it off, totally soon


    Looks like now Groove is going the way of Media Center and Media Player.
    Typical Microsoft, killing the foistware people actually like/use,

    But that's ok, I've started testing MediaMonkey 5 and it's coming along pretty good, Besides, I can change the default skin colors with just simple HEX values,(oh and font used too) like I do Afterburner.

    Code:
    @baseColor: #252525;
@warningColor: #e36a00;
@controlColor: #974600;
@hoverColor: @warningColor;
@hoverBgColor: darken( @warningColor, 52%);
@borderColor: @warningColor;
 @SelectedColor: lighten(@baseColor, 20%);
@disabledSelectedColor: mix(@baseColor, @SelectedColor, 50%);
@highlightBgColor: @highlightColor;
//@shadowColor: @hoverBgColor;

  @windowBorderColor: #c66b1c;

@font-face { font-family: zektonbo; src: url("/skin/fonts/zektonbo.ttf"); }

body {
    font-family: zektonbo, sans-serif;

    I liked Groove during it's beta, then they commercialised and ruined it.

Will Groove Music App still work to play local files after Microsoft kills Groove Music Pass by the end of this year? My concern is that this is the only reliable app that plays music without glitches when my Surface Pro is on connected standby.
