Zune Music

Xbox Music is, in a way, a revamped version of the Zune that borrows from the successful models used by its main competitors, Spotify and iTunes. Digital Spy reports: “Built from the ashes of Zune, Xbox Music is a brand new service that acknowledges the way in which music is consumed is fractured – between multiple services over mobile devices, computers, streaming and downloads – and plans to unify these under a single easy-to-use umbrella using the strong Xbox brand.” Xbox Music will also have a download-to-own scheme with pricing “comparable to other services for songs and albums” and will allow you to get your songs in DRM-free MP3 format. In addition to this, the service will also have Smart DJ — a Pandora-like feature that gives you recommendations on other songs that you may like based on what you’ve been listening to. As you can see, Xbox Music is a lot like other music services that are already on the market. Their main advantage is that it utilizes your Windows Live ID and is backed by Microsoft, making sharing your songs and playlists between devices, especially those that run Windows, potentially less complicated.
