Microsoft unveils XBox Music - a music streaming service


 Microsoft has just officially unveiled the new Xbox Music Service at their pre E-3 press conference. Microsoft showed off the service on stage along with a brief video clip. Xbox Music will be the music streaming service for various Microsoft devices.
They've offered only a few details for now. Microsoft's Yusuf Mehdi noted that the service will have a library of over 30 million tracks.
 The player itself looked clean and metro-ish in the demonstration video.

Apart for the console, the service will be made available on Windows 8 PCs, tablets and Windows phones. It is also expected to have social sharing features. Sharing tracks with friends and viewing their currently playing song is also a possibility.
