[VanWinkle]

Man, this is awesome! Can listen to whatever I want for free as long as I listen to ads. This is great. Works flawlessly, too.

 

[naib]

I changing songs with my phone guys the future is here.

You should be able to adjust your current playlist and shit too.

What a time to be alive.

Edit: that might be w spotty premium feature.
/me shuts up

 

[Dunlop]

Loving this app

 

[fritzo]

Spotify is not bad, the PS4 app needs some improvement, but overall it works great. Question: I'm using the desktop app; is there away to control music from my desktop to my PS4? Because I can contraol playback from my phone to PS4. Thanks.

 

[kanuuna]

I managed to beat a boss in Bloodborne I wasn't sure I could beat with the power of music.
Thanks Spotify. Now all that's missing is podcasts.

 

[Quick]

Needs a better UI, but I guess they figured everyone would just control it from their smartphone or tablet.

 

[neojubei]

Yes it is. Tried it out a little bit tonight. Works great

 

[valkillmore]

Bit of Roni Size while tearing through South Los Santos!!!

 

[SirMossyBloke]

The problem is why do i want to use it on my consoles.

I have a $2000 home theater system....I wonder.

 

[kanuuna]

One might wonder why you didn't get yourself a Sonos to go along with it.

Well I guess you don't when you are mostly on Xbox One

 

[Armaly]

Anyone test this out with GTAV yet?

 

[onQ123]

The problem is why do i want to use it on my consoles.

Most people have their PS3/PS4 hooked up to their sound system.

 

[N° 2048]

Anyone test this out with GTAV yet?

Yep, turn off Radio in Settings and you're good. So nice to drive around.

 

[Saladinoo]

I am so glad this has happened.

 

[DOWN]

Check the spreadsheet. It works.

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:

[privitsan02]

Love spotify but is it unlimited skips?

 

[Zantetsuken]

GAF playlists for different games? I know it was mentioned earlier.

 

[IndustryX]

Available in Canada?

 

[gnarlyxcharlie]

Is shuffle terrible for anyone else?

 

[RE_Player]

Available in Canada?

Yup.

As a Music Unlimited subscriber I can confirm I recevived 2 months of premium Spotify. Going to listen to some playlists while I play Borderlands.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Why the fuck would I want a Sonos??

 

[btkadams]

This is amazing. Using the iOS app to choose songs without having to leave the game. So good.

 

[Killthee]

Love spotify but is it unlimited skips?

Same restrictions as the free option for desktop. Pick and choose what you want to play with ads in between songs every now and again. No skip restrictions like Pandora.

 

[the1npc]

Guessing no in game music on ps3?

 

[mrjohill]

Is there a way to play it through the headphone pluged into your controller?

 

[DustyVonEric]

Wow, this app is legit. The commercials are only like 30 seconds and didn't make me turn it off. I thought it would be way more intrusive.

 

[Loakum]

I don't mean to be the downer here but if you already have a usb drive, then you can already play your own music in the background while playing games.

 

[Killthee]

Guessing no in game music on ps3?

Nope.

Is there a way to play it through the headphone pluged into your controller?

Plug in your headset then go to Audio Device settings and switch the Output to Headphones option to All Audio.

 

[N° 2048]

Woooooshhhh.


You have to have .MP3s for that. This is streaming music with MILLIONS of songs.

 

[DOWN]

I don't mean to be the downer here but if you already have a usb drive, then you can already play your own music in the background while playing games.

It's already been discussed. It's less convenient, so for the average player, Spotify is a fantastic one-stop primary destination for console music streaming.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

I don't mean to be the downer here but if you already have a usb drive, then you can already play your own music in the background while playing games.

Oh come on man. Access to millions of songs on the fly, playing them during games, and new releases, plus tailor made playlists of everything.

Versus a USB stick.

 

[Glass Shark]

I really like the interface. This will be great for playing music in the house when friends are over.

 

[FootballFan]

I don't mean to be the downer here but if you already have a usb drive, then you can already play your own music in the background while playing games.

It just is much more convenient, have access to millions of songs and play my favourite play lists during Drive Club is great. I use Spotify daily so this is a great new addition for me.

Changing songs etc from my phone as well, just all really easy.

 

[mrjohill]

Nope.

Plug in your headset then go to Audio Device settings and switch the Output to Headphones option to All Audio.

Thanks!

 

[SpecX]

Just what I was thinking. I tried using the YouTube and vid zone apps for this in the past, but this is much easier and has a larger selection.

 

[Armaly]

Word.

Can this be used with remote play?

 

[Carl]

Is shuffle terrible for anyone else?

I was just thinking this. Seems to be picking up the same songs incredibly often

 

[Czigga]

are there any sound settings for the app? I got a 5.1 system but spotify is only coming out my front L and R speakers. I assume it's cuz the songs are only stereo but would like the app to force all channel audio

 

[bananafactory]

How do I make sure I get my free months of Spotify? Just make a new Spotify account with the same email I used for my Music Unlimited one?

 

[NovaCross]

I believe you need premium for higher qualities.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

You won't get a 5.1 option. You'll have to change your receiver settings to all channel when you listen to music.

 

[Dubz]

Playing BF Hardline while listening to the Hotline Miami 2 soundtrack was fucking amazing. This is the best app on any console IMO.

 

[Killthee]

30 day trial popped up for me after linking my PSN account on my PS4 with my Spotify account using the tablet app and hitting the upgrade button on the PS4 app. I think you just have to do the same; link the accounts and the Store should see your MU sub and offer you a 60 day trial instead of the 30 day.

Music Unlimited Subscriber?

Get up to 60 days of Spotify Premium free for a limited time. Link your account on PlayStation Network** with your Spotify account and check out offers.

New to Spotify Premium?

Special offers to try Spotify Premium free are available to current Music Unlimited subscribers and new Spotify Premium users for a limited time. Link your account on PlayStation Network** with your Spotify account and check out offers.

There's something about being able to start up Helldivers while listening to Rappers Delight, then jumping on to Destiny and messing up Omnigul while listening to Shook Ones. Today was a hip hop kind of day. I could imagine how awesome it would be driving around in GTA 5 while listening to nothing but NWA.

Thanks dude worked like a charm. 2 month trial activated

 

[paperheart]

Loving the Spotify app on the PS4. Put Spotify on, connected my headphones to the DS4, put on Pixeljunk Shooter, and had tons of fun. I'm a happy camper.

 

[Darryl M R]

Jay Z just released his new streaming service that has HQ streaming (the free 30 day trial actually sounds better than spotify). If they try to move it over to the console (and lower the god damn price) Spotify might have some competition.

Spotify has HQ streaming.

Listening to Death From Above while speed running to a boss in Bloodborne.

So good.
