Spurred by product leaks, Microsoft on Monday announced details about its third-generation Zune digital media platform. The announcement came a day before Apple reveals upgrades to its market-leading iPod and iTunes products.

"With the combination of subscription, wireless access to millions of tracks, and powerful discovery features like personal recommendations and the ability to buy music from FM radio, Zune is taking the digital music experience to the next level," said Zune general manager Chris Stephenson.This time around, Microsoft isn't dramatically changing the Zune hardware as they did a year earlier.
