Only really used it while running Chalice Dungeons in Bloodborne.

More often than not, depending on the game. I used it a lot in Watch Dogs 2.

I use it on my phone all the time daily. I have never used it on my PS4 because I actually like listening to the game I am playing. I could see it for something like a racing game or whatnot, but if I was playing a online shooter or something I would die constantly if I couldn't hear what was going on.

Never. I use my iPhone and Bluetooth speaker to play music, whether I'm gaming or not.

One of the reasons why I'll eventually buy a PS4 this year.
Used it heavily on PS3 but it's a bummer you can't use it whilst in game
Use it daily whilst driving, in the gym and gaming on my pc.
Best 10£ I spend per month.

Never while I game. Every day on my phone.
So I posted earlier in this thread saying that I don't see why I'd ever use this, but then I realized it'd be perfect for listening to music while playing Destiny, which I just recently got back into after a two year break. And yup, I love it now. Why the hell didn't I try it before, damn.

I use it a lot- especially if playing multiplayer. Absolutely love it!

I use it all the time. Makes grinding so much more enjoyable.

holy fuck, I just realized that the article that I posted in the OP was written literally the year before, the same exact date...
...coincidence? I think not.

Almost never. I'd imagine if I played more racing games I would use it however. But listening to music while playing shooters/adventure/rpgs usually distracts me.

One time, didn't really care for it. I already have all my music in very high quality which is not compatible with the PS4 the last time I checked. Listening to streaming music sounds like ass tbh.

My friend just added me to his spotify family plan.
Google music>>>>>>>Spotify in everything but social features.
I also wish there was a google music app for Ps4.
I"m playing nier automata right now, so I don't really need outside music when the game has the best soundtrack of any game I've play.

Never, it's garbage. Tried and it was so bad I gave up and went with Plex.

Depends I usually use it when I play fps games or when I'm cleaning my apt.

Never. I would but with my Smart Proxy it wont let me use it. Gives me a region error. So I use the USB music player. Which I use all the time.

Never downloaded it. The only app I use in that menu is MLB.tv.

Never. I only used background music on the 360 to put tonally opposite music into overly serious games to take the piss out of them, and in Goat Simulator to make my goat's ass shake to TURN DOWN FOR WHAT.

I don't understand why it's garbage or so bad. You know about the quick menu right? You can hold the PlayStation button and a sidebar will pop up, where you choose a playlist, specific song, skip track forwards or backwards with R1 and L1, adjust music volume, set shuffle, etc., all without even having to pause the game.
I honestly can't even think how they could make the system any better. The only effort involved is setting up Spotify playlists, but you can do that from any device with Spotify. Or just pick one of the featured PlayStation playlists that appear in the quick menu.

I'll use it whenever I'm working around the house and want to listen to something without headphones. While in-game, I don't because I find it distracting.
I actually subscribed to Spotify because of the streaming on PS4.
Its one of those things that varies game by game, but I love being able to pop on a playlist while I'm running strikes in Destiny, or playing something multiplayer. I know I could do the same with a usb drive plugged in, but having all of Spotify handy is real great.

Depends on the game, but occasionally.
I like it in the background while playing something like Pure Pool or Wipeout (soon) but not when playing games with narratives (likely) or when playing with friends (less likely). I use the free version since I already have a Google Play Music sub.

All the time. Playing NBA? Spotify. Playing Overwatch? Spotify.
Usually with games that I can just play and zone out.
Spotify is legitimately the best thing I've EVER paid for.

I think the update yesterday added background music support, didn't it? Might want to check that out.

I know all that, but nothing fixed the constant stuttering and bad audio quality that I had.

I ended up buying it after figuring out how convenient it is.
I use it on my phone mostly to play music in the car.

I have yet to use it on my PS4. I use Spotify quite often in my car though and on my Roku while just chilling.

It depends on the game for me. Open world and driving games are made so much better with Spotify. More linear games I would never play my own music with though.

I like spotify more as time passes. Not sure if I will throw down for a sub since I usually do YouTube or mp3 for singular tracks
