Microsoft announces new $10 Zune Music Pass, expands service to Canada

It may not enjoy quite the same level of buzz that the likes of Spotify , Rdio and MOG have been basking in lately, but Microsoft’s Zune service is still kicking, and the company’s now working to make it a bit more appealing and more widely available.
