Microsoft updates Zune subscription to include free music

Users of Microsoft's Zune Pass subscription currently pay $15 a month to gain access to millions of music tracks via the Zune Marketplace, but until today, that music became unaccessible if they let their subscriptions run out. Now, however, Microsoft has reached agreements with the world's largest recording companies to allow Zune Pass subscribers to permanently keep 10 songs each month, effectively lowering the cost of the subscription to $5 a month and making it a much better value for consumers.
"The way people consume music has changed," says Microsoft Zune general manager Chris Stephenson.
