If you’ve got a Surface, and want to move your iTunes music and playlists over to Surface, it’s easy using Xbox Music, writes Dan Laycock on the Surface Blog.
“We’re often asked how a new Surface customer can use their iTunes music and playlist on their Surface. It’s a great question, as you don’t want to start collecting and organizing from scratch when you buy a new device. Xbox Music makes importing both your music tracks and playlists a simple process – all you’ll really need is a USB storage drive to move them over with.” The video above takes you through the simple steps.
“Surface customers can instantly enjoy all of their music using Xbox Music through the Music App that comes installed on every Surface -- it’s also on Xbox One, Xbox 360, Windows Phone, iOS and Android, and online at music.xbox.com so you’ll always have access to your collection,” he writes.
Xbox Music “allows you to search and listen to individual tracks, discover new music, listen to streaming radio stations, and organize your music (both tracks you own and tracks you stream from the cloud) into playlists for any mood or purpose. You can download individual tracks from the store or stream unlimited music with a Music Pass.”
Laycock says he has a Surface in his kitchen “connected to a great speaker. Everyone in the house uses it, and having music at our fingertips makes life better.”
