No Music service yet for Xbox Live, says Microsoft |
Ó
When Microsoft confirmed a Video service for the European Xbox Live Marketplace coming later this year, the next logical question that came to mind was whether a Music service will also be offered soon.After all, Microsoft has an on-going battle with Apple when it comes to the music industry. However, speaking to gaming cite CVG, XBL General Manager JJ Richards commented that the company currently has no plans for such a service as of yet.
If you are curious about the reasoning behind this, Richards explained,
Right now, we feel like we already have music on the console. Unlike hi-def video, no one has a problem accessing music and it's totally simple to play it through the Xbox 360, with the screensaver or over your games. What I would expect to happen is we're going to think about different factors and different ways to get that content to the console.
Richards commented further that this also has something to do with DRM and what you can do and where you can do it. While Microsoft is quite capable of coming up with such service, Richards said that in the end, it's a matter of whether they can provide a better and easier service utilizing what consumers already have.

I wouldn't buy music...I have access to 40+ gigs of music on my computer.....why would I buy it and fill up the tiny HDD ?
I know right, who ever said we wanted a music downloading service? Especially when we can just burn music to the 360 hard drive from any cd, or better yet just stream it off of our computers and save hard drive space on the 360. How about you guys just quit working on this piece of crap and give us something we can actually use, like a web browser or something.
f***ing hell ---> who would use this??? BitTorrent FTW ; D
WEB BROWSER FFS, if i want to use the web i would use my pc in the back room. Bloody hell if you have your console in your front room and you want to browse the net I feel really sorry for the rest of your family who will have the excitement of watching you browsing internet sites, remember this is a console for being able to have a quick game not a boring back room PC.
