We’ve heard of Microsoft’s plans to debut the Zune Music pass in Australia since last month and the launch date was specified as November 16. As promised, the service is now live (in part) and will be fully available for all starting the 16th.

As initially detailed, the Zune Music Pass will cost either $11.99 per month or $119.90 per year. Microsoft announced the initial availability of 11 million tracks for November 16; you can take advantage on Xbox Live, Windows computers and Windows Phones. Sadly, there’s no Podcast support yet but it will hopefully be added soon.

Update: In order to get the full experience and have acces to all of the features, Chris Walsh has posted a tutorial you might find useful.
