Microsoft to launch Xbox music service The Xbox Music service will also allow customers to access songs offline through a "Xbox Music Pass." The pass costs $9.99 (£6) but it will be free from advertising and users will be able to play any track from a subscription catalogue an unlimited number of times. The pass gives access to tens of thousands of music videos on the Xbox. Microsoft has developed the "Xbox Music Store," where users can go to purchase individual songs and albums from the selection of more than 30 million in the store. Apple's iTunes library has around 26 million songs. The company says cloud storage will be available in the next year and users will be able to add tracks which were bought through other services to their personal Xbox cloud catalogue.
