Microsoft Dances Closer to the Set-Top With Xbox Music

Microsoft is taking another stab at the digital music industry with the Tuesday launch of Xbox Music, a streaming music service that will be an update to the Xbox. It will also be released as a built-in feature on Windows 8 PCs and tablets later this month. Users will be able to stream the service's 30 million tracks for free in an ad-supported version or purchase it at the now ubiquitous price point of 99 cents per song. There's also an option to pay $9.99 per month for unlimited cloud-based streaming of music purchases and playlists to any device.
