As a recent One owner, I'm continuously surprised by how much of a step backwards the OS is. They seriously could have ported the 360 UI straight away with all the same features and that would have provided a much better experience.
Wonder how MS is going to compete withbackground Spotify support...
agree 100%.
Honestly they should have just ported over the 360 UI and updated appropriately.
Taking their time? I'm no developer but this can't be too hard to implement in an elegant fashion.
My thoughts exactly.Mmmm, some delicious armchair developing going on in this thread.
Nobody here has a clue how easy or hard it is.
Really?
"The right time" is probably when Spotify's exclusivity deal on the Playstation ends.
A spruced up blades with the newer features integrated would be met very well I would think. Too bad it cramped the ability to spam with ads, which I assume is the only reason we have ended up where we are today.
It just bothers me that a software company could have done almost impossibly good right out of the gate with the X360...only to slowly devolve into what we have today.
In game music...just another thing to add to the pile of things worse now.

Groove music I would assume. I don't know how it compares to Spotify in terms of available music but being able to stream directly from your Onedrive will be a nice feature.

Just make it the same as it was on the 360. Boom done.
EDIT you can already do it by snapping the media player. But then you're using the media player for a third of your screen.

Why is background music such a big deal? Most of the time it's quite grating in themes on PS4.
The odd one is excepted, like the free Witcher 3 theme.
I don't feel the need for any background music on my dashboard.
900p is already medium quality ¯_(ツ_/¯
This exclusivity is so irritating. I already pay for spotify music and I cannot afford to pay for Groove. It is just not worth it so now I have to resort to creating a playlist on Youtube and snapping it with the game. I cant wait for this stupid exclusivity to end.
Also snapping to play music and taking up screen space is the stupidest thing I have seen.
In case anyone forgot, the Xbox 360 LAUNCHED with this feature.
Thanks, I added it to the OPI feel like this should be in the OP rather than giving only Gamespot hits for someone else's work.
If MS adds support for streaming Groove in the background, I'll gladly switch from Spotify. Groove has essentially the same exact library of music, but they have much better sales on their service than Spotify. I got a year of Groove earlier this year for 30 dollars. Every Christmas they put it on sale for 50 percent off.
"Doing in right"...
Translation for how can MSFT somehow leverage some licensing or fee control from content provders ala Apple?
You can just have it via USB or a Spotify like service? Come on man.
Regardless, I almost never use this feature, but for those that do, I can understand the frustration.
The problem is my telecom provider is throwing in spotify free. Need to confirm if they can include Groove instead in that case. But that would lock me of PS4 since I use spotify a lot. I would just prefer this stupid exclusivity to end and just have spotify on both platforms. Really disappointed that stuff like this is being money hatted and kept exclusive. Urghhh
set all your friends as favorites and bam, instant friend online notificationSounds like this is the Xbox One's "friend online notifications"
Sony didn't dump Music Unlimited to pay for Spotify Exclusivity for PS4...

On 360 you could rip your cd to the hard drive and create playlists

Spotify is exclusive to PS4 on consoles for the time being.
