The list of music services that won't impact your data plan on T-Mobile is getting much longer today. The carrier has added Google Play Music, Xbox Music, SoundCloud, and 11 other music apps to its Music Freedom initiative. Those three are the big names, but T-Mobile says it's also added listening options for fans of EDM, jazz, Caribbean, and Bollywood-style music. "Today we’re taking another huge step toward our ultimate goal of including every streaming music service in the program," said T-Mobile CEO John Legere. "Anyone can play. No one pays. And everyone wins." Even if companies aren't paying to participate, the net neutrality concerns raised by Music Freedom remain just as valid now as they were when the program was announced in June.
But even if it's unpopular with net neutrality advocates, the "Uncarrier 6.0" reveal has proven a hit with consumers. T-Mobile says the number of customers streaming music on a daily basis has jumped 300 percent since Music Freedom's unveiling, and collectively they're listening to 66 million songs (roughly 200 terabytes) per day. And the company says Music Freedom is often a reason cited by people making the switch to T-Mobile. The carrier has been working to support Google Play Music and Xbox Music for a few months now; both services fared well in a public vote that T-Mobile said would influence which services would be added to Music Freedom.
