Microsoft

Microsoft Corp. today revamped the music subscription program offered with its Zune players to let customers keep up to 10 tracks per month, even if they later cancel the deal.

Starting immediately, people who subscribe to the $14.99-per-month Zune Pass will not only be able to listen to the library's on-demand tracks, but also be allowed to retain 10 tracks per month. Approximately 90% of the Zune Pass tracks -- that's the percentage not locked with some kind of digital rights management (DRM) technology -- will be eligible, Microsoft said.

The change, Microsoft said, was made possible by new agreements it signed with the major music labels, including EMI Music, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group and a number of independents. Microsoft did not disclose the financial details of those agreements, however.

Those tracks selected for keeping can be burned to CDs or moved to other devices, even if the user drops the subscription to Zune Pass.
