Microsoft working on new Spotify-like service on Xbox, Windows and smartphones (Digital Trends)

Digital Trends – As reported this week by CNET, Microsoft is apparently chatting with several record labels regarding the development of a music application that would be more similar to Pandora, Spotify, Rdio, MOG and other streaming music, subscription services than the Zune Music Pass. Conceptually, Microsoft would brand this service with the Xbox Live name rather than the failed Zune brand name and launch the application on the Xbox 360, Windows smartphones and the upcoming revision of the Windows operating system. According to CNET’s sources, specifics regarding how the service would deliver music to consumers in addition to how much the music industry would get paid from any potential subscription fees haven’t been finalized.
