Looks like Zune will live on in many other forms as the venerable music service and former gadget brand will be morpjhed into a “Spotify like” streaming music service on Xbox consoles. The news is so fresh there are few details but the service is said to be currently in development under the code name “Woodstock,” according to a report Wednesday by the tech blog The Verge.

Who hear wishes they would have done a better job with Zune marketing in the beginning so they would not be foced to rename this service for Xbox?

I have come to realize that Microsoft releases new features for existing systems WAY later than we hope all would like to see with some misguided idea that it will extend the product usefulness and lifespan. I mean it took how many years for them to finally open up the USB port for regular thumb drives. First they had to sell a whole heap of overpriced harddrives before they opened up what should have been a first generation feature.

Microsoft did the same thing with Zune and it was 2 years deep before we had decent use of the built in Wireless features. Now after almost 3 years of Zune streaming music it is finally coming to Xbox Live and the 360 system. I have been listening to my Last.fm streaming for months now and even linked up my Facebook account but to this day I don’t play my Zune music on the Xbox because its a bit of a drag but maybe now the new streaming feature will make it all worth the wait.

Do you Zune? Are you going to stream it over your Xbox 360?
