Preview streams come to Bing US via Zune
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 23 June 2010
Google rivals Bing are also bringing preview streams to their music searches, in the US at least. Microsoft previewed a new entertainment section to their Bing search service in LA yesterday.
The idea seems to be to sort entertainment-based search results in a cleverer way so that it is easier for users to identify tour dates, relevant tweets, discographies, lyrics and what not.
The streaming preview element will be provided by Microsoft’s digital music platform Zune, and users will be able to listen to searched-for songs once in full. Buy links from the preview stream will give the Zune store, iTunes and Amazon MP3 as an option.
