Code-named “Woodstock,” the service is reportedly comparable to Spotify, potentially allowing users to stream unlimited music. The service will also seemingly feature deep Facebook integration and a “scan and match” cloud locker feature similar to iTunes Match.

According to The Verge, the service will be part of a larger effort to shift away from Microsoft’s Zune brand.
