Quick Tip: Listen to music with Zune in any web browser, no device required

Here's a Quick Tip!

Sure, Spotify is the new hotness in the social music service world but one of the biggest limitations we see with the service is the lack of any other portals for you to access music. Currently if you're with the free ad-supported service the only option you have is the desktop software; only if you pay extra do you get access to smartphone apps (but Windows Phone is currently out of the picture). Well if you have a Windows Phone than you're probably more interested in Zune anyway and we have good news for you: to listen to music, all you need is a web browser.

Yes that's right, all you have to do is browse on over to Zune.net in any Silverlight-supporting browser and you can listen to all of the music you want if you have a Zune Pass. At $15/month the service is more expensive than Spotify's basic free service, but you do get 10 DRM-free song donwloads each month (worth about $10 on its own) and really amazing integration with your Windows Phone. If you want to see how Zune Pass fares, go get the 14-day free trial.
