Microsoft today announced that the Zune Music Marketplace and Zune Music Pass will launch in Canada on October 3rd with some 14 million songs to choose from.
The Zune Music Pass will cost CA$9.99 per month or CA$99.90 annually and will work with the Xbox 360, Windows Phone, Windows PC, Zune devices and Zune.net. It will also include the ability to stream thousands of music videos through the Zune PC software (Xbox 360 support coming later in the fall).
Microsoft will also offer the new Zune Pass in the US (same cost). Unlike the current Zune Music Pass offering, it will not include 10 MP3s to keep each month. But subscribers will be able to download songs and synchronize them on up to a total of four devices (1 PC + any combination of PC, Zune device and Windows Phone). The older US$14.99 Zune Pass will be retired (existing subscribers will be able to keep it active).
