The technology giant was planning to have a new streaming service similar to Spotify ready by the end of this month.

However, this original target deadline has not been met. A Microsoft spokesperson said: “In the coming months, MSN [Microsoft’s news and entertainment portal] is planning a new music service in beta via its [MSN] Music channel in the UK. At this stage we won’t be confirming the details behind this but more information will be available soon and will be communicated in due course.”
