A new update for Windows 8 Music app has been released bringing in-app searching and Xbox Music's free ad-supported streaming

The new update for the Windows 8 Music app will now allow users to search directly in-app for music on your PC, or in the Xbox Music catalogue.

Additionally, the Music app will now let you try out Xbox Music's free ad-supported streaming service without logging in to your Xbox Music account, but there is a limit of 15 songs.

After signing in to the Music app on your Windows PC or tablet, you can stream songs for free (with ads). Users are limited to 10 hours/month after 6 months for free streaming. Unlimited steaming is available for Xbox Music Pass subscribers.

Users can also discover new music with the Radio feature, known before as SmartDJ.

Aside from these significant updates, some bug fixes and other UI enhancements have also been carried out.

A few months ago Xbox Music added a feature allowing users to add iTunes playlists into the Music app.

Xbox Music was launched in October last year for Xbox 360, Windows 8 PCS, tablets and smartphones giving access the entire library over one account and across all devices with the usual free streaming for the first six months with a monthly limit.
