I had been a streaming customer from early 2008 until 2014. Zune was an amazing service. Xbox Music as a service was compelling, but the switch from Zune to Xbox Music was a great loss in quality & capability. I switched to Spotify because it had the social features I liked from Zune, but I actually had friends using it (esp. via Facebook integration). It had more songs, better cross platform, and a much more stable desktop interface. Props to Microsoft for taking the dog behind the shed and ending things. If only they had preserved their dignity and just ended it with Zune rather than stringing customers along on what was definitively not the most competitive offering.
