Xbox Music (for Android)

  • Pros
    Good sound quality. Lots of tracks. Clean interface. Easy Collection and Playlist construction.
  • Cons No free version. You can't browse by genre or create stations. Lacks lyrics.

  • Bottom Line
    Xbox Music brings over 30 million songs to your Android device, but a few missing features keep it from competing with the mobile streaming music service top dogs.

The already plump mobile streaming music space has just gotten a wee bit fatter with Xbox Music's Android and iOS debuts. Xbox Music lets Xbox Music Pass subscribers stream their favorite music (ad-free!) to smartphones and tablets, and also Xbox home video game consoles starting at $9.99 per month (you can, however, listen to Xbox Music for free on the desktop via a Web browser). Xbox Music for Android has a streamlined, easy-to-navigate interface and good sound quality, but it's missing several features found in rival services. I tested Xbox Music on a Samsung Galaxy Note II.
