I'd rather just have a spotify app on the xbox. I use spotify and have no intention of changing from the best music service there is. If no app comes then luckily I can stream to the ONE so its of no consequence.

Spotify is already using Gracenote anyway.

Customers

iTunes, Media Go and Sonicstage all use Gracenote's CD track identification services.

In addition, Gracenote provides its products to a number of other services, including

• Online services from Yahoo! Music Jukebox, AOL, AmazonMP3, Spotify, Winamp, MetroLyrics, Pandora, Google Music,^[8] and Tuneup Media;
• Home and automotive products from Alpine, Bose, Panasonic, Philips, Loewe, and Sony;
• Mobile music applications from Samsung,^[9] Sony Mobile Communication (TrackID),^[10] KDDI (Japan), KTF (Korea), Musicwave (Europe).

How is that relevant to me preferring Spotify to xbox music or sony music unlimited or any other music service on ther planet?

Spotify is hands down the best.  I've tried them all and it just is.

Totally agree, although Xbox Music is good, Spotify just has the edge.

 

OP: Why wouldn't they use Sony? It's only in the gaming sector where they are rivals.
