Xbox Music Enter Artist EMBARGOED

Fast payday loans For Every One

Microsoft might be phasing out its Points currency for Windows 8 in favor of cash, however that hasn’t stopped the business gifting 1,000 Microsoft Points to existing Zune Pass individuals. In an e-mail to subscribers, Microsoft reveals that Zune New music Pass registrations are now Xbox Songs Pass– with no action required from end individuals.

” To celebrate the launch of Xbox Songs, we’re offering you 1,000 Microsoft Points to utilize on any of the music, video, or game material on Xbox Live,” states Microsoft. The Points are offered by means of a prepaid code, redeemable on Xbox.com. 1,000 Microsoft Points corresponds to $ 12.50, permitting Xbox Popular music users to purchase flicks, new music, or games from the shop. It’s not a huge welcome gift for the brand-new solution, however it certainly …

Zune hardware was a mistake, admits former Microsoft exec Robbie Bach

Zune 30

Microsoft’s first Zune hardware launched in late 2006, around five years after the initial Apple iPod hit the market and less than a year before the iPhone changed the smartphone industry. Former Microsoft executive Robbie Bach, in charge of Zune at the time, says he would skip portable media players if he could launch Zune again. “The portable music market is gone and it was already leaving when we started,” admitted Bach at an entrepreneurs’ event in Seattle last week. “We just weren’t brave enough,” he says, accepting that Microsoft ended up chasing Apple without a compelling reason for consumers to purchase Zune hardware.

Microsoft looks forward: will require Windows Phone 7.5 to purchase apps, jettisons Zune desktop app purchasing

Windows Phone Marketplace

Microsoft is making a couple of changes to the Marketplace for Windows Phone apps that theoretically won’t have a major impact on most users, but are still worth noting. First, starting today, the Zune Desktop software will no longer be a place to browse and purchase apps; it will all be done either on the phone or in the web browser. Although the Zune software will still be used to apply OS updates, it’s fairly obvious that Microsoft wants to keep Zune more focused on music playing than on being a desktop portal to your Windows Phone experience. Microsoft also notes that the vast majority of users are doing their app shopping on the phone or via the web.

Microsoft will also soon be requiring that Windows Phone devices run the latest…

Microsoft may be replacing Zune with a ‘Spotify-like’ Xbox Live music service

Xbox Live logo

HTC apparently isn’t the only company interested in starting up a new music service. We have heard that Microsoft is planning on significantly revamping its music service offering this year, replacing the Zune branding with Xbox Live branding. A report at CNET appears to confirm that Microsoft is indeed in talks with music labels to alter its current agreements to support the new service.

The plan is apparently to use the Xbox Live branding across Xbox, Windows Phone, and Windows on the desktop. That branding shift is currently slated to happen some time this summer. Later, Microsoft intends to re-launch the music service as a simpler, easier to understand, and better integrated offering that is described as very similar to Spotify. It…

Good Deal: Free Zune Pass for a year with Windows phone purchase

Zune Music Pass Good Deal

If you’ve been thinking about picking up a new phone and can get to one of Microsoft’s retail stores, you might want to check out this promotion. WPCentral has spotted in-store signs that promise a free annual subscription to Zune Music Pass with the purchase of a Windows phone. On its own, the pass costs $ 99.90, and can be used on up to four devices — not just the phone. From what we can see, the offer lasts until Valentine’s Day, so you’ve got a little less than two weeks to pick up a Lumia 710, HTC Radar 4G, or other Windows phone. Unfortunately, the promotion is in-store only, so anyone who’s not near one of the elusive retail locations is out of luck.

Question by : Can I Debug Windows Phone 7 Games on Zune Hd?
I am developing a Windows Phone 7 Game With Microsofts XNA 4.0 Framework and I wanted to know if it was possible to debug it on a zune hd

Best answer:

Answer by SteveO
Since the two platforms are different you will have to use a WP7 device to debug. Zune has a much smaller screen that isn’t adequate for WP7 programs.

Developer teases voice control of Zune, using PC and Windows Phone (video)

The great thinkers of the world have long known a secret that we’re now happy to disclose: it’s not necessity that’s the mother invention, but rather laziness. Fortunately, expending a great deal of effort on a project — simply to perform a task effortlessly — sometimes brings very cool results. A concept app known as ZuneVoice easily passes muster in this realm, which is used to control Zune software on the PC with only a standard microphone and spoken commands. As you can see in the demo video, its creator, keyboardp, is able to play individual songs, issue commands such a “pause” or “next song”, and even display full-screen music videos from YouTube. The developer even crafted an app for his Lumia 800 known as PhoneZune, which serves as a remote control for times when he’s away from the box. Neither application is yet publicly available, though feedback is welcome. Next, we’re told to expect Kinect integration. Perhaps one day, these gems will see the light of day.
