At a partners event today, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced Xbox Music, a music service (obviously) that will be launching on the Xbox 360 this fall. Likely based on the Zune Marketplace, the service will feature over 11 million songs, and Kinect users will be able to use voice recognition to search for songs.

Um, that’s great, but… what’s the point? People can already access Zune right form the dashboard, I don’t see what they hope to accomplish with this.
I’m thinking it will be replacing Zune Marketplace.
If that’s the case, then they’ll have angry customers that are mad that they can no longer use Zune Marketplace on the one device they use it on. Unless subscriptions will be carried over or interweaved or something.
