To the users’ delight, Microsoft has announced that its music download service MSN music is active now. The beta version of this service will now offer more than a million records from all the major labels.
A company statement said, "MSN Music service will offer a large and competitively priced music library. Offering a rich web-based experience, users can discover, play and download music."
"As well as enjoy features such as personalised playlist creation, the music library will constantly be updated along with artist information such as biographies and discographies. The music store will also integrate with the rich editorial content of the MSN Music channel."
The MSN music is similar to Sky Songs platform offering an information portal for the music records. Microsoft is also rolling out a free streaming service to compete with Spotify. To access the MSN music site, the user should have a Windows Live ID.
"As part of the service, free music streaming will be tested on a limited basis. MSN will be running a series of promotions on the MSN website enabling a limited number of users to gain access to this aspect of the beta," a Microsoft statement read.
