T-Mobile Music Freedom Adds Google Play, Xbox Music

Stream music on your mobile devices from Google Play Music and Xbox Music without eating into your data.

Good news for music-loving T-Mobile customers. You can now stream music on your mobile devices from Google Play Music and Xbox Music without eating away at all your data.

The self-proclaimed "un-carrier" on Monday announced it has added both services to its Music Freedom program, along with SoundCloud and 11 others. The list includes a range of services that should suit all tastes covering everything from EDM, Caribbean, and Bollywood: RadioTunes, Digitally Imported, Fit Radio, Fresca Radio, JazzRadio, Live365, Mad Genius Radio, RadioPup, radio.com, RockRadio, Saavn.

The new additions more than double the number of providers currently covered in the program. The expansion comes after T-Mobile in August added Rdio, Songza, AccuRadio, Black Planet, Grooveshark, and Radio Paradise. Other services available as part of Music Freedom include iHeartRadio, iTunesRadio, Pandora, Rhapsody, Samsung Milk, Slacker, and Spotify.

With Music Freedom, you can stream from music services without drawing from your high-speed data allotment. You'll still have to pay for the music-streaming service itself, just not any of the related data use.

T-Mobile said the program, launched in June, has been a hit with users. Customers are streaming 300 percent more music since the program launched, which amounts to 66 million songs or roughly 200 terabytes of data per day.

"Music Freedom is pro-consumer, pro-music and pure Un-carrier," T-Mobile President and CEO John Legere, said in a statement. "And today we're taking another huge step toward our ultimate goal of including every streaming music service in the program. Anyone can play. No one pays. And everyone wins."
