my butthole is getting ready to announce its brand new streaming service for only $9.99 a month. Stay tuned for more info.

Disregard

All of these streaming services have the same price point, and none of them are really offering an incentive to establish themselves as a deserving frontrunner. I've yet to see a real reason to switch to a streaming service over actually possessing a digital copy of a musical work, let alone a physical copy.

Microsoft has lost their innovation, this will flop like their smart phones and Surface.

You obviously don't know anything about tecnology. :laughga:  

The problem with Microsoft is that they arrived late to the tablet and smartphone world, but their products do have innovation. People prefer Android, including myself, mostly because of the apps. That doesn't mean it doesn't have innovation, especially when it's as good as it's competitors, if not better

Surface is the strongest performing 2 in 1 form factor PC in the world. 

P.S. They are not using this to generate margin, this streaming service existed, but with Windows 10 they are just making it a universal app across all devices.

I'm here for it only if it has a free subscription. I used to use Xbox Music when it was free on Windows 8.1, for my needs it was better than Spotify because it had all the music that I needed and I loved the integration with the OS, so I think this is going to be great too. Spotify works like **** on Windows since the update of the new design. :miley:

It is kinda cool having instant access to such a rich library but I am still oldschool and like having my mp3s physically on my device.

:yes:

Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a show. I should really just relax."

Microsoft released a tablet in 2003. It didn't catch on and it was awkward, but it was there.

They also had smartphones before the iPhone was released (I had a Windows Mobile phone in 2005 and my dad used Windows Mobile before that).

Microsoft's not a bastion of innovation, but they've been ahead of their time before and people always ignore this in favor of making tired "Micro$$$oft" jokes (because Apple and Google are apparently non-profits with 0 desire to make money, nope).

I am honestly up for anything as long as Apple Music streaming doesn't dominate the marketplace. I don't own or use Apple products, so Apple exclusives always annoy me. (iTunes, I'm staring directly at you)

I actually use Amazon Prime's streaming service on mobile (because free Spotify mobile is poo), but the song selection is really bad. If they stepped it up, they could take advantage of the number of people already using Prime who probably don't even know they have Amazon Music. I didn't realize I had it until a couple of weeks ago.
