nice, ty. I made a post on reddit too so hopefully that can help.

As expected most games just play the music over the game's OST, but there were a few games I didn't know about that fully (=automatic muting) support custom music / Spotify:

Bloodborne
DriveClub
Hotline Miami
Hotline Miami 2
Mercenary Kings
Minecraft
Resogun
Rogue Legacy
SteamWorld Dig
Velocity 2X
Zen Pinball 2


I'm pretty sure e.g. Resogun didn't have auto-muting last year, so I guess it was patched.


full list so far:

Feel free to add more
 
Question, how do I disable game music/noise? Right now both Spotify and the game are running.

Have you ever been in the settings on any game you've played, like ever? It's really the same on pretty much all of them.

I know I sound rude, but...

Start with going into settings, then audio settings.

Ya, pretty rude, you would assume it would override other apps when running.

I love that I can start the app from inside a game via my phone. I was playing FFXIV and couldn't open it without suspending the game, which would mean having to log back in, figured I'd try it on my phone and press the connect button. Pow, connects, opens, and starts playing the music. Awesome.

Oh wow! Very nice!

I wish double tapping the PS button opened up the spotify menu for volume and skipping songs like it did with Music Unlimited. I know you can hold the PS button down but the double tap was faster imo.

Share button in the upper right corner lets you set who can see it and what they can do (editing).

You should leave the permission rights to the owner only. (under advanced settings -> change)

In the Data menu you can btw then still block selected cells from being edited (I did this to the confirmed ones so that no joker can just delete everything. At least I think that's how it works lol)

Can PS3 use this app in the background? If so that would be like a milestone as PS3 cant really run apps like PS4. Somehow I doubt it and I am misunderstanding your post.
I don't know. I was hoping there might be the same functionality for both, but yeah like you... I doubt it.

I can't believe how much time I'm going to put into making Spotify playlists for the PS4 now. Shit is going to consume me.

With Spotify playlisting can be very socially driven. We could create GAF playlists per game and share them and any gaffer can subscribe to it.

I really miss Music Unlimited. It had a great selection, worked well with games, and only cost $5 a month.

I had a huuuge catalog of playlists on the service. Poof.

Me too man, I realised last night that the service was ending and wrote down all of the fucking songs on my playlist ready for when they released spotify, lol.

Huh I didn't even realized Music Unlimited was still up, I thought they got rid of it months ago.

Not sure if this is for everyone but when I hit upgrade they offer d me a free month trial. Of course you have to put a card on file and it has a automatic renewal attached to it but both can be removed right after and you won't be charged and you can keep the trial.

Absolutely loving this. The app integration on my phone is fantastic and it lets me control tracks AND almost as importantly the volume. Even lets me skip tracks from the lock screen of my phone. Perfect.

And the best bit..? Unlike say controlling a Chromecast I can do this over my cellular connection and don't need to be on the same (or any) wifi network. Since my stupid phone's wifi never wants to switch on this is a godsend. Why the hell does my Chromecast not work like this!?

Hadouken was made for GTAV. Just play Midnight by Hadouken! and partake in a car chase using cinema cameras in slow mo (R3). Just do it.

Official Spotify Playlist thread?
I think we need one. And maybe bookmarks or a table of contents or something. I guess something along these lines:

Shaneus:
Driveclub
Hotline Miami
Resogun

stan_marsh:
Resogun
Hotline Miami 2
Geometry Wars 3

shagg_187:
Bloodborne



Or maybe...

Driving:
Shaneus
stan_marsh
shagg_187

RPG:
Shaneus
stan_marsh
Driveclub

Shmup:
Shaneus
stan_marsh
Driveclub



If needed, I'll create it tonight. Have a massive headache :(
You can use this format, I guess! Maybe make sure that people stick to a specific format to make it easier for whoever's co-ordinating.

I've been drinking the Spotify kool-aid for awhile now. So glad we finally got this.

I feel like a eurobro.

Fighting a Bloodborne boss while playing the Flash Gordon theme song is the best feeling in the world. Seriously loving this app.

Always wanted to play Diablo 3 on consoles, but the lack of background music support or Spotify on the Xbox One made me realize I probably wouldn't enjoy replaying it on that platform. Good to know I'm all set on both account whenever I get a PS4.
 
This is fucking amazing. Worked flawlessly. I'm currently screaming around in Driveclub to the sounds of Wagon Christ. I know Rushy would approve.

The Drive soundtrack and Bloodborne such a great combo!
Listining to "A Real Hero" while framing echoes in the Forbidden Forest.
