Mostly music on demand. And I like it very much as I can listen to any song/album depending on my mood :)
I was using iTune before that but I find it very annoying to be locked on iOS devices (for mobile); I knew that MS was planning to release it on Android/iOS too and they delivered it. I have a Windows Phone (+ my PC/Xbox and Surface) and my wife is using an iPhone and and iPad (I know, she is so 2010 ) but all in one we are very happy with the service.

On a side note; I'm also using Xbox Videos.


Are you sharing a subsciption with her or paying for 2 different ones? 

Is there a limit as to how many devices a subscription can be linked with?

You can only have 4 devices for Xbox Music.  I use it and I have my work PC, Home PC, 360 and windows phone.  You can use the web site streaming service and just log in with your account which is probably how he is sharing it with his wife on the I device.

I have had the service for about 3 years and I probably listen to way more music then I did before.  Its great at work when a co-worker says something about this or that song you never listen to and you can jump on the Zune software and listen to the song.  Being able to off line listen is also big since the songs I listen to the most I download and share between my phone and PC.

Wow! Microsoft finally released an android app this month. It only took them a few months too long. I dropped my 3 year subscription to it because it lacked this and switched to Google Music.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

How are you liking Google Music.  Which did you prefer MS service or Googles?



I use Deezer, no complains, it's not availabe in the US though.

Haven't tried Spotify, and maybe never will.



I'm currently using Music Unlimited because Sony had a PS+ discount to 12€ for a year. Definitely a good service, but it's missing lots of japanese music I like to listen to and there are some notable gaps in the Metal section aswell. If the following years cost more than 20€ I'm probably going to stop my subscription.

Well, relative to the music, it is awesome. Good sound quality and selection. The ui could definitely use work (on both the browser and phone), but I am confident this will get fixed (simple things like back buttons and a little less clunky). I love that on my phone I can download music to listen offline. That alone is the reason I sold my zune hd and cancelled zune pass (xbox music pass). I also wish google music had more than a 1 month subscription. I was a user of the 1 year subscription from microsoft that saved me 2 months off the price.
