Plus, this service is 100 bucks a year if paid annually, so only 8.33 a month.I had Zune, now Xbox, and like it. I listen offline the majority of the time so streaming services are not to attractive. This take the best features from other services and combines them into one. Catalog is actually good…few omissions. Do I care they don’t have The Beatles?
No. Like most, I already bought all that music …. on multiple formats. My big hope is that iOS and Android apps for Xbox look and act like they do on ZuneHD or Windows Phone so others can sample that interface.

Actually PlaysForSure devices CAN play Zune DRM. It is identical. Zune DRM tracks appear in Windows Media Player, which will sync with another brand. You are still subject to DRM device count restrictions, though.

An attempt to sound like an audiophile. Probably flames all over any posts linked to Bose or Beats too. Any decent amplifier can sort this little issue out. As a media service, xbox is pretty slick now.

I have no idea what he said? I love my Zune Pass and hope along with XBOX Music I can use it to manage music on my Android phone and tablet. Zune is so much better than ITunes, Spotify, Google music…I still use my Zune HD for music as android music offerings don’t hold up.

If you pay the $9.99 a month, and you have an Xbox with a Gold account you get access to over 17,000 music videos as well.

This is totally pointless. Unless Microsoft sort out the broken digital out on the Xbox (the signal is a good -10db lower than standard digital out) then the Xbox, as a streamer, is redundant.
