Wow almost a whole hour of music, Micro$oft is so generous!
$9.99 a month to listen to music? What kind of a joke is that
On Windows 8.1, Xbox Music lets you stream any song you want for free. You get like, 5 songs or so before an ad plays (which is usually only 10 seconds or less long), then you repeat.
I wish they would have adopted that strategy.

sony's equivalent on the ps4, music unlimited, also costs 10 dollars a month
they're both dumb.

A popular one, apparently. For ad-free music listening, the price is normally around $5 - $10 per month across the more popular services (Xbox Music, Music Unlimited, Spotify Unlimited/Premium, Pandora One, etc).
If you are feeling 2003, you can still burn music to a CD even if that's a pretty shit solution. At least there is some option.
Unless it has a library as huge as Spotify's I don't see the appeal.

Haven't really been keeping up on the features for the consoles, but when I used my Xbox 360 on the occasion I would plug in a flash drive and listen to my music from there. Is that still an option?

XMusic on 8.1 has a pretty damn huge library, plus less than 5-10 second ads every 5 or so songs is pretty nice too.

Actually I think it might, I'll have to look it up. I remember reading somewhere that it didn't, though.

Reportedly it has a few million more than Spotify, but that also takes into account remakes/covers/re-releases I think. Still, it has a good amount more than Spotify.

I pay that much for Spotify and it's great. I don't steal music and I hate paying $1 per song so I just rent it.

Paying a fixated price like that to gain access to a large spectrum of music is actually a neat deal, I don't see a problem with this.
Although it wouldn't be for me, furthermore I seldom use my xbox as a music hub of any sorts because it's really rubbish to manage files.
