Microsoft launches Xbox Music Hub.

Microsoft Corp on Monday announced that Xbox Music, a digital music service to vie with Apple Inc‘s iTunes and Amazon.com Inc‘s Cloud Player, will be available for its Xbox game consoles on Tuesday.
The service will be
expanded to Windows software-based computers and tablets, including the
upcoming Surface tablet, from October 26, when Microsoft launches
Windows 8. It will be expanded to phones shortly after that.
The world’s largest
software maker has been trying for years to make the household living
room an entertainment hub with its Xbox. More than 67 million units have
been sold since 2005.
About 18 months
ago, the company realized that Xbox users were spending half to 60
percent of their time on entertainment services rather than video
gaming, Xbox Music general manager Jerry Johnson said.
The market-leading
video game console already streams Netflix, ESPN and other channels and
is bolstering its service with music and other video content.
“We also realize,
as an entertainment company, that music is an important ingredient on
its own and as a part of different user experiences,” Johnson said.
Xbox Music replaces Microsoft’s digital media brand Zune that struggled to compete with iTunes.
Microsoft will offer a free ad-supported music streaming service, and a premium $9.99 subscription service for unlimited, ad-free streaming.
The service
includes a download-to-own music store with over 30 million songs in its
global catalog, more than iTunes’ library of over 26 million songs. It
also carries over 70,000 music videos, available only on the Xbox
console.
It has cloud-storage features similar to iTunes and Amazon Cloud Player and an artist-based radio function like music streaming services Pandora and Spotify.
Xbox Music will be
available in 22 countries. Microsoft hopes to take the service to Apple
iOS and Google Inc Android devices next year.
