Associate devices with your Xbox Music Pass to sync music

Note As of 15 November 2015, the Zune service has been discontinued. This may cause errors when attempting to stream or download content or update the service.

You can associate up to four devices with your Xbox Music Pass. These devices can include:

• Tablets or computers running Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1
• Zune devices
• Windows Phone 8 or Windows Phone 7

After you associate a device with your Xbox Music Pass, you can download and sync content to that device. You can also stream music content from Xbox Music to tablets or computers running Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1, and Windows Phone 8.

You can stream music to your Xbox One or Xbox 360 console; however, you can’t download music to those consoles. For example, you can download music to your Windows 8.1 computer and sync that music to your Windows Phone 8. Then, because your music is stored online, you can stream it to your Xbox console.

After you download or sync music from your Xbox Music Pass to a computer or other device, that computer or device will be associated with your Xbox Music Pass for at least 30 days.

You can change one computer or device associated with your Xbox Music Pass every 30 days.

Notes

• You can only use your Xbox Music Pass on phones that use your Microsoft account.
• Xbox Music Pass users may download music to up to four devices. These can include personal computers and portable devices. However, one device must be a personal computer.
• Xbox Music Pass is designed for a single user. If other members of your household have devices with Xbox Music, their own Microsoft accounts will be associated with those devices. Because of this rule, they will need their own Xbox Music Pass.

Here’s how to see which devices you’ve associated with your Xbox Music Pass:

• From the web
  In a browser, go to Manage Xbox Music Devices and sign in.
• On your Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1 computer
1. Start Xbox Music and sign in.
