Microsoft just did developers all over the world an amazing favour. They
have opened up the Xbox Music service API to all developers, allowing them
to search their 38 million tracks, download metadata and album art, do 30
second music previews, and for some developers even allow them to stream
unlimited music for subscribers.
Even better Microsoft will let users of 3rd party apps purchase music,
giving developers a 5% cut of each track purchased. Even better than that
however, is that Microsoft will give developers a 10% cut of each new Xbox
Music subscriber, which can amount to $1 per month per subscriber (or an
easy $1000 per month if you convince 1000 people to subscribe to Xbox Music).
The service is available cross-platform via a REST API, meaning it will be
as at home on the web or an Android app as on Windows Phone.
