Microsoft Offers Xbox Music Streaming Service

Software company Microsoft is introducing Xbox Music, a music service that gives you the freedom to stream custom-created playlists for free, subscribe to all the music you want or download-to-own your favorite songs.

Through cloud, it integrates the music experience across your tablet, PC, phone and TV.

With more than 30 million songs in the global catalog, Xbox Music begins rolling out around the world tomorrow on Xbox 360 and later this month on Windows 8 and Windows RT PCs and tablets and on mobile phones, starting with Windows Phone 8 at launch and additional platforms later. Microsoft made this announcement today, Oct. 15.

“The launch of Xbox Music is a milestone in simplifying digital music on every type of device and on a global scale,” said Don Mattrick, president of the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. “We’re breaking down the walls that fracture your music experiences today to ensure that music is better and integrated across the screens that you care about most — your tablet, PC, phone and TV.”

Xbox is Microsoft’s entertainment service for the TV, phone, PC and tablet.
