XBOX music1 XBOX Music: Microsoft seeks his piece on the musical content in the cloud

For those who have tried Spotify, the streaming music service (limited to some countries in Europe and America that is) will know that its mechanism is simple: listen to the music that pleases you download and share playlists listening / viewing advertising each both (with the purchase songs giving a small fee).

That idea so simple and practical to organize your music and find it unchanged on any device with Internet, a precursor dented sector as Apple’s iTunes was today and bounces in the new attempt by Microsoft to gain a piece of this cake: XBOX Music .

The concept, names, brands … nothing is new. The company famous for Windows contents bet again by following the pattern of Spotify to be able to have your music on any device, thus trying to maintain a common point in the strategy which has been unified with your gaming console and its upcoming PC operating systems, tablets and mobile phones.

What looks like first novelty is to remove everything that smacks Zune, former competitor iPod of Apple hardware in the field and then as iTunes software. Instead, Microsoft chooses to consolidate its online XBOX has found it quite profitable as bazaar or digital content market.

This is the point where we could say that the boys Redmond have understood the whole ecosystem that Apple has built from iTunes and Amazon with its Kindle to.

Sony Music Unlimited starts with his landing in IOS Content

IOS Sony Sony Music Unlimited starts with his landing in IOS content

said Steve Jobs, according to the biography by Walter Isaacson, that Sony had everything to succeed in the music world: a brand recognized and entrenched as Walkman , a team human can develop the necessary software, a branched-market presence and (most important and difficult to obtain) a robust music catalog, and yet came Apple and pulled the rug with his iPod .

This success would follow some time later the iPhone and the iPad, and now your operating system, IOS, that just will host the proposed division Sony Entertainment Network, a service of the company Nippon looking to sell with colorful content such as movies, video games and (surprise, surprise) music.

To get specifying Music Unlimited will be the application which will Apple devices soon, a software that is now available in Android and the company’s own equipment such as PlaystationVita, Playstation 3 and its line of televisions, among many other gadgets.

For the purists this would be a direct competition with iTunes yet, Sony has come out against starting that everything remains unchanged reaching that climate between coexistence and competition where the Japanese do not have nothing to lose.

The but the issue is still availability in the world. Not in all regions is enabled and this recalls quite other services like Spotify to work with cloud storage to ensure unrestricted access to your library for a monthly fee (which may well pay those outside of their “markets”).

to be seen how accurate it is this move to Sony and if at any future achieve true internal integration that put in doubt as Steve Jobs himself (with the really it would make a great piece of cake).

Moreover, the social network spokesmen indicated that the blockade of the tweets will occur only when requested by “an authorized entity.”

The initial reaction of users with respect to this new measure was not positive on all for the lack of information about what may be considered objectionable. Also questions were raised about what happens to those users who are temporarily in a country that denies access to specific content on Twitter.

The Site Help Center published an article on the subject, but not provide data too enlightening. Hopefully the decision taken by the popular microblogging service not set a precedent dangerous for censorship on social networks.
