Xbox Music app crashing / dumping me back to the start screen?
alright, I'm getting a little frustrated here. I've noticed this mostly for Xbox Music but also for a couple other apps.

here's a sample video.
I tried loading the Netflix app and it appears to try to load for awhile, unsuccessfully, and then it dumps me back to the start screen. So I check the apps list and it's still running. But when I select it again, it does the same.
I then play with Xbox Music. music is playing. I then went to search for a specific artist and try to play the song. it dumps me back to the start screen. the music is no longer playing. the app appears to be running (as seen in the apps list). if I play a song that was added to my music library or if I play an MP3 off the hard drive, there's no issue. but sometimes when i'm browsing for songs and selecting them to play, it'll dump me back to the desktop.
I've had this happen on a totally separate system with various apps where I get dumped back to the start screen.
what am I doing wrong here? at first, I thought it was the focus being shifted. like there was a time the other day when I did a cold boot. and after the start screen appeared, the black command prompt/dos window popped up which shifted me from the start screen to the desktop. of course, the command prompt window only popped up for a split second. but I was sitting at the desktop thereafter. But I think it's not a focus issue as the music should still be playing even if something is pulling me from the app back to the start screen.
