Xbox Music till iOS och Android
Och gratislyssning på webben
Microsofts musikstreaming-tjänst blir idag lite mer lik Spotify då man öppnar upp för gratis-lyssning via webben samt även släpper klienter till iOS och Android som förväntas dyka upp i respektive app-butik under dagen.En av nackdelarna med Xbox Musics nya appar jämfört med till exempel Spotify är att det än så länge inte går att spela musik i offline-läge. Detta är dock något som Microsoft säger ska dyka upp så småningom.Vill man använda apparna för Xbox Music krävs även ett abonnemang som kostar 10 dollar/månaden eller 100 dollar/år.Uppdaterat Vi har fått reda på att gratis-streaming via webben tyvärr inte är tillgängligt i Sverige ännu. De svenska priserna för tjänsten är 99 kr/månad eller 990 kr för ett helår.

Pressmeddelande
Microsoft launches Xbox Music across iOS and Android, adds free streaming on the Web
Enjoy your favorite music from a 30-million-song global catalog powered by the one service that integrates your music experiences across your tablet, PC, phone and TV. All the music you love, every way you want it.
REDMOND, Wash., Sept. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Nearing its one-year anniversary, Microsoft Corp.'s all-in-one music service, Xbox Music, continues making strides to deliver all the music people want, wherever they want it played. Today, Microsoft announced its plans to bring Xbox Music to iOS and Android devices, as well as free streaming on Xbox Music via the Web.1
Accessing music across all the different devices people interact with has become complicated. People today use PCs, laptops, tablets, phones and TVs to access different music services that don't connect with one another. Xbox Music is designed to solve this common problem by combining the best of all music offerings with free streaming on the Web and on Windows 8 PCs and tablets, Internet radio, subscription (called Xbox Music Pass), and download-to-own options.2 With today's news, access to Xbox Music grows to include iOS and Android devices, as well as a free Web-based interface on computers.
"Xbox Music now, more than ever, powers music experiences between Windows 8, Xbox, Windows Phone, and now iOS, Android and the Web," said Jerry Johnson, general manager of Xbox Music. "We're also excited to connect artists with their fans on the most anticipated consumer product of the year when Xbox One launches Nov. 22."
Expanding the Xbox Music family of devices
Starting today, your Xbox Music Pass brings the catalog of music to iOS and Android devices. Get unlimited access to the songs and artists you want at any time with playback across your tablet, PC, phone and Xbox console for $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year. Add a song to your collection on your Xbox, and you'll also have that song on your iOS, Android or Windows 8 device on the go or at the office. Xbox Music Pass also unlocks unlimited access to tens of thousands of music videos on your Xbox 360.
With the addition of free streaming on the Web, enjoy on-demand access to 30 million songs globally for free on the Xbox Music Web player at http://music.xbox.com or through the Xbox Music app on all Windows 8 tablets and PCs. Discovering and enjoying free music is as easy as typing an artist or song name and hitting "play." Songs are instantly available to stream at no cost and for you to create an unlimited amount of playlists.1
Continued innovation
Xbox Music will continue to grow and evolve over the coming months. Microsoft will add Radio to the free Web player, a quick and dynamic way to personalize your collection, discover new favorites, and create ultimate playlists by launching instant mixes based on your favorite artists. With unlimited skips and a view of the full recommended music stream, Radio puts you in control of your Internet radio experience.1
Xbox Music will grow on Windows 8 when it adds the anticipated new Web Playlist tool this fall. The tool scans all the artists and music available on a given Web page and creates a custom playlist of all that music. Think about the Web page of your favorite radio station, or an upcoming music festival, and all the bands and songs included on that Web page. Web Playlist identifies all that music and creates an instant, custom playlist inside Xbox Music with the simple touch of a button. Web Playlist along with Windows 8.1 will be released Oct. 17.
In the coming months, additional updates for iOS and Android platforms will become available, including an offline mode that lets you save your music to your device for playback without an Internet or data connection.
