Xbox One News: Xbox Music App Coming to Streaming Service, Microsoft to Feature 92,000 Music Videos

Xbox One is adding music videos to their streaming service, announced Microsoft this morning on their blog.

"As music has evolved, so has our consumption of it. Once a TV staple, music videos are now primarily housed on the internet, where easy access is key. With that philosophy in mind, we're bringing that easy discoverability to your music viewing experience on Xbox One. Beginning today, we're introducing more than 92,000 music videos to Xbox Music," Microsoft posted on their blog.

Xbox Music will be in direct competition with Vevo, which is a joint venture between, Sony, Universal Music Group, and Google.

"Rock out to a new playlist, create a Radio stream based on your favorite artist or pick a random track from your collection with Xbox Music on Xbox One, and if the song has a music video, watch it play automatically in sharp HD on your TV. The process is simple. Find your playlist, say 'Xbox Play,' and watch the videos appear on screen. You don't have to spend hours tracking down videos for each song - it's all rolled into one easy step," they continued.

Xbox One recently announced they will be carrying out a new beta program that will let owners test out the future updates of the system before they are released.

By doing this, Microsoft will be able to gauge whether to go forth with the update depending on the response everyone gives them. This new program began yesterday, and certain Xbox Live users are being selected to try it out as new updates are rolled out into March.

"Features that will not be enabled during the preview include party chat, party invites, party matchmaking and party visibility," Microsoft said to Polygon.
"Once the March system update becomes available to all consoles worldwide, new party features will function normally for all Xbox One users. If this is an issue, you should consider not signing up for this beta."
