Taobao will launch an interesting service in a joint effort with Xiami that allows consumers to listen to music when shopping online by the end of April. It is expected that Taobao and Xiami will roll out more offerings together on both PC and mobile ends. Update: Users can login to Xiami with Taobao accounts directly from early May.
