Can anyone else not get the stupid music app to play songs from the Xbox Music store? I've tried and tried to figure out how to get it to work... I uninstalled it, I synced my app licenses. I checked to make sure it was allowed through the firewall. What the hell else do I have to do? This is frustrating me to no end, and I cannot understand why I'm even having this issue...

Here's the stupid error in question:

I don't know what to do!

The stupid computer is authorized as well.. I downloaded a stupid song from the store, and guess what! It downloaded, but wouldn't play and gave me the same error! What do I honestly have to do?!@

Through Xbox Music pass or just through the store pressing play?

I don't have Xbox Music pass but pressing play on a song in the store works.

Pressing play on any song... I can't even preview a song.. It's been like this since the consumer build/enterprise version for me.. What honestly am I doing wrong here? I sign in, and I click PLAY! That's it!

I wish I could help you. I tried it and it works(currently playing).

Maybe someone else has an idea cause I sure don't know.

It works now... I'm going to flip out on this stupid machine..

Music on W8 is a complete mess. I recommend leaving it a bad review and moving on to something else. I re-installed the Zune software and won't go back to Music until it gets a big facelift.

I agree it's a complete mess. Zune was extremely easy to navigate, and this feels like such a jerk. I don't understand what took it 100 tries to get it to work, but I'll try and use it for the time being...
