Xbox Music Pass for computers and devices

Overview

With an Xbox Music Pass subscription, you can download, stream, and listen to as many songs from the Xbox Music store as you want, as often as you want.

Associate up to four devices with your Xbox Music Pass

Your Xbox Music Pass allows you to download and sync items to a combination of four different devices which has the Xbox Music App. (This includes Windows 8 computers, tablets, Xbox 360 consoles, or Windows Phone 8 devices.) For example, you can download music to your work computer, a laptop, a tablet device, and a Windows Phone 8. Or you can download music to one computer and then sync that music to a Windows Phone 8, Xbox 360 console, and another computer.

Once you've downloaded or synced music from your Xbox Music Pass to a computer or device, that computer or device will be associated with your Xbox Music Pass for at least 30 days.

If you want to change the computers or devices that are associated with your Xbox Music Pass (for example, say you replace your home computer), you can swap out a computer or device every 30 days.

Notes

  • You can only use your Xbox Music Pass on Windows Phone 8 devices that use your Microsoft account.
  • Xbox Music Pass is designed for a single user. If other members of your household have Windows Phone 8 devices, their own Microsoft accounts will be associated with their phones and, therefore, they would need their own Xbox Music Passes.
