Rivaling Apple’s iTunes Radio, Xbox Music is out on iOS allowing everyone with an iDevice to stream ad-free music from a catalog of tens of millions of songs, Microsoft has announced.

Just like Android users, iOS customers who prefer an ad-free experience can add songs, albums, and playlists to their Xbox Music collection and access them from other devices.

You can listen to music while using your iPhone, as well as to artist-based radio stations, in what rivals both iTunes Radio and Twitter #music at the same time. Microsoft also promises “a rich visual experience for searching, viewing , and playing back music.”

Xbox Music requires iOS 6 and works with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation), and iPad.
