Some of the smart features such as SmartDJ as known previously and now radio, you can discover new music and create custom stations based on your favorite artists and the music you love listening to.
“Today’s update to the Music app brings an in-app search button at the top right that allows you to search directly within the app for music on your PC, or in the Xbox Music catalog. The Music app will also now let you try Xbox Music’s free ad-supported streaming service by allowing you to listen to up to 15 songs without having to sign in,” wrote Brandon LeBlanc in Windows Experience Blog post.
