XBL Users to get Free, Exclusive Music

Microsoft are set to use Xbox Live as one of a number of channels for delivering free, exclusive music to users as part of its new Ignition program.

The initiative will be used to garner exposure for artists and musicians who will receive month long promotions via Microsoft's Xbox Live, MSN and Zune platforms, providing access to 30 million regular users.

Hope us XBL peeps get more than a video, cuz we have been getting videos since the start of 360. I would like to be able to d/l the mp3 on my HD and add it to my song collection.

They need to step it up in this dept. Same ole vids up for months. Free tracks that can be dloaded to Zune of up and coming artists it a step in the right direction
