Zune Replacement: Microsoft to Unveil Cross-Platform Xbox Music Service

  • Microsoft plans to introduce a streaming music service at the E3 Gaming Expo in June, which is expected to be a replacement for Zune.
  • The Xbox-branded product, code-named “Woodstock,” will reportedly work across a range of platforms, including Android and iOS devices as well as the new Windows 8 system.
  • “Previously described as ‘Spotify-like,’ the service won’t require any browser plugins and is said to integrate deeply with Facebook, allowing friends to build group playlists and share tracks,” notes The Verge.
  • “Microsoft’s service will also include a ‘scan and match’ feature, similar to iTunes Match, which will let users find songs from their current library within the platform,” reports CNET.
  • A launch date and pricing has yet to be reported.
