With Zune on Xbox LIVE, you can stream music right to your Xbox 360 if you have an Xbox LIVE Gold membership and a Zune Music Pass. There are different ways you can enjoy your favorite tunes:

• Let Smart DJ select a mix: You choose an artist, then Zune Music + Video creates a playlist based on that artist. It's a great way to discover new music.

• Add music to your queue: You find artists, albums, songs, and playlists. Add just what you want to your queue.

• Pin an artist for quick access to your favorites.

When you select an artist or album, Zune will show you all kinds of things to help you get the most out of your music, including:

• A list of the top songs, available albums, and videos by the artist

• Pictures and a biography for a little history and background

• Album reviews

• Related artists and albums, so you can discover similar music

Note

You'll need a minimum bandwidth of 512 Kbps broadband speed to stream music. If your bandwidth drops below this, you may notice an interruption in streaming and delayed now-playing artist visuals.
