In that way, the One is much like the Xbox 360. When it comes to MP3 playback, however, it's a little trickier. The Xbox One is a Play To (http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/18/microsoft-outlines-play-to-for-windows-8-developers/) device that supports Redmond's PC and mobile ecosystem, but not much else. This comes just days after Sony released its massive FAQ (http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/31/playstation-4-audio-game-install-details/) that said, among other things, that the PlayStation 4 wouldn't do any of the above. If you're looking for a new do-all device for your A/V rack, the Xbox One could be it.
