Microsoft will offer an early look at their new music service, Woodstock, a codename, at E3 2012 according to The Verge. Microsoft is repositioning how they distribute media by moving away from Zune in favor of focusing on the more established Xbox media center. Woodstock is said to allow cross platform play for Android, iOS, Windows 8 and Xbox users.
The service will run in a browser and won't need plugins, similar to Spotify or Pandora. It will also tie-in with Facebook with friends and group playlists. Despite being displayed at this year E3, Microsoft does not plan on launching the service until later in 2012. It's possible the service will have a simultaneous launch with the Windows Phone 8.

Well goodbye Zune it was fun while it lasted :/
Dear Amazon please make a kindle mp3 player, something like the fire but smaller. Free 3G support would also be an awesome addition.

What a sad little man is scorpian876:
"If there's a fee then MS is ripping ppl off"
"If it's free then MS should be sued"
He must feel terrible seeing MS latest financial report, $17,400,000,000.00 in revenue.

Honestly,Zune was garbage and the X-Box 360 slim is garbage and Micro Soft is going to shaft customers out of money for the Woodstock is said to allow cross platform play for Android, iOS, Windows 8 and Xbox users.Or if it's free,Micro Soft should be sued over this and Micro Soft is calling "Woodstock" Xbox Music Service ! LMAO! What another joke from Micro Soft,this isn't the 60's!

Think this is good for some 360 owners...I say some..I should probably say most... I have ps3 so I use music unlimited from my phone, my pc, my ps3 obviously, and soon enough my vita will get used for it rather than my phone. More ways to listen to your music is always a plus
