Pretty cool sadly most of the vita games I enjoy usually have the feature cut out for whatever reason

Now all they need to do is fix Music Unlimited on the PS4. Buggiest app ever. Keeps randomly pausing the music for no reason.

Sounds nice, but they lost me as a customer. It seems there is no option to subscribe to this service without a credit card, which is especially baffling since you don't need one for PS+ and since they had a one year membership available for PS+ members last year which could be bought without credit card.
You only could do that when choosing a offline MU playlist. Now it works when streaming. And, of course, only works in games that support custom soundtracks. PSP and PSX won't work,
Ah I see. Thanks.

When I want to subscribe I get asked to input my credit card details. I guess you have them stored in your account. The fact that they don't even use the card for payment is hilarious. I wonder how many more customers they could have if they passed on this requirement.

Nice. I had to re-sub because my 12 dollar for the year thing ran out a couple weeks back. Wife uses it all the time so I don't mind paying.
It's been doing this (apparently unofficially) for at least a few months now, because I tested it out when I had a Music Unlimited sub during the summer. I thought it was always a given. ..odd really.
It also stops playback completely which causes you to either restart the application or restart the system. No excusing this really considering it's a paid service and the only way to use custom soundtracks. Grew weary of Need For Speed's soundtrack rather quickly, especially since you hear the generic pursuit music for a good chunk of the game unless you're in a race or time trial so I've actually been using it lately.

Were you streaming the songs or were they in offline playlists? Because they've only just now apparently added streaming in the background. It's always paused streams whenever I went to the live area.

Cool service but way overpriced. It should have been $50/ year. $10/month is too much.
I agree it's too expensive.
Thankfully I've gotten deals, the PS+ one a year or so ago and I got an email for $3 for 3 Months. So I still have my account for now.
That was awhile ago.

All I need is Android 4.4 support and I'm in like a sin.
Fix your shit, Sony!

Oh okay. I haven't used it in MONTHS.
SUPER slow to load for me too.
I go to the menu from a game, to music unlimited, and it takes like 60 seconds for it just to load the damn thing, and even then the menus within it are laggy.
If they fixed it so it was super fast, and dropped the price from 10$ a month to $1 + ps+ id get it.

I was actually having this problem as well on my ps4, untill I put my ps4 into dmz on my router. Changed the NAT type from 2 to 1 and now the music doesn't randomly stop.(Maybe unrelated for all I know but it seemed to work)
