All the time.

No reason not to and it works as intended.

 

[psyfi]

Spotify is the only way I listen to music, and I use it daily on my computer and phone, but never on my PS4. Not sure why I would, honestly.

 

[Pizza]

I really like it. I don't use it all the time, but I use it a shitload

 

[Quasar]

I've used it maybe 2-3 times.

I just don't use my PS4 as a music device.

 

[The Artisan]

A lot. 24/7. Spotify and Driveclub is awesome. Artisan glad we can agree on something lol.

i'm sure we agree on plenty pal.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

Never.

 

[Mumford]

I use it almost everyday, always controlled through either my phone or my laptop. The only real drawbacks I find to it are that I can't play local music files saved on my phone or computer, and the (thankfully, very rare) times where the PS client decides to jank out. It's functional, and I like it. I wish they would add the ability to download music directly to the console like you can on other devices, though. That's really all I have to say it on it, lol. Not really much of an audiophile so I can't comment too much on that front.

 

[Zantetsuken]

All the time, but not through games. Just in the app

 

[the anime man]

I use it constantly but not on PS4 because the app isn't great.

 

[BigEmil]

I use Spotify all the time just not on the PS4. That app was kind of garbage last time I used it

It's much better integrated now especially with ease of use controls in the sidebar too

 

[Legato.Reborn-]

When company comes over we drink, play poker, and put songs on spotify on the PS4

It's very nice

 

[endlessflood]

I use it all the time when playing GTA Online. I've turned the in-game music volume to zero and just play my own specific GTA Playlist. It's awesome, there's nothing like flying a cargobob with a stolen car swinging from the bottom while awesome music pumps out of your speakers

 

[xJavonta]

Never. I subscribe to Apple Music.

I was an Apple Music stan but after realizing how Spotify works with everything under the sun I switched. I love it but I miss some of the UI features of AM

As for the OP: occasionally. I don't really play multiplayer games and when I'm playing a single player game I typically like to enjoy the world

 

[Nielm]

Hardly ever on PS4. I hate the UI, it's always slow for me. The sound quality is pretty poor too, and I have Spotify Premium.

Sound quality is pretty bad, but it works when playing a game like Rocket League where you're not relying on sound cues or story elements.

 

[Harmondale]

Everytime I play need for speed, wich is almost Every evening

 

[Kyoufu]

i never use it. If I'm playing a game I always prefer to listen to the game's music and sound and if I want to listen to music other times, I'd just use my laptop.

 

[deadstar72]

Most days. Always for racing/sports games and games that otherwise don't have much in the way of story

 

[Catamaran]

If I play multiplayer games sure but on my PS4 that's very rare

 

[Katana_Strikes]

From time to time but it doesn't help that it's a glitchy mess a lot of the time.

 

[MissCauthon]

Maybe im old but never heard of this. I still buy cd's Lol never even heard of this until now.

 

[uceenk]

nope

i don't like to hear external music while i play, i'm also not interested to use it as standalone music device, my TV is kinda suck, the sound is not amazing as my phone

i only play Spotify on laptop/phone

 

[holygeesus]

I used this for the first time, when mopping up collectables in The Sexy Brutale and it worked great. However, it doesn't seem to duck gameplay audio enough for my liking. Is there a setting I'm missing?

 

[Floody]

If the game allows it, whenever I'm grinding for something, it's really well implemented.

I just lower in-game audio from the game's settings. And higher the Spotify audio until I'm happy.

 

[eXistor]

I barely even know what it is.

 

[Caesar III]

We used to use the PS4 as the main Spotify player but since we noticed it does not upmix to 5.1 we switched to the firetv which does upmix to all speakers

 

[Karu]

Here and there, mostly when friends are over. That shuffle-function is stuff of nightmares though.

 

[The_Joker1721]

i loved using it when I had the og PS4. Would have it on in the background while I did other things on my computer or whatever.

Off topic real quick:
Does anyone know why my tv goes crazy when the PS4 pro has hdcp on? It's driving me crazy and I can't use any of its media features since I have to turn hdcp off.

 

[Spukc]

Used spotify on holiday for music.
Downloaded all playslists for offline listening.
Cause i had crappy internet at holiday location.

Spotify decided to update and i lost all my downloaded songs with no means to redownload. Because super slow insternet.

Emailed spotify for a refund. They refused.
So now i am using deezer

 

[archnemesis]

I tried it once. My $5 subscription doesn't cover the PS4 and I'm not going to listen to the ads.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Not as often as I should.

 

[kraspkibble]

i never listen to it on PS4. i just don't like listening to music when playing games unless it's something like Diablo 3 or Rocket League. it's constantly running on my PC when i'm not playing games though or on my phone when i'm out.

 

[Golden_Pigeon]

You never need Spotify when you have a killer OST like P5.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Never used it once.

 

[Wagram]

I don't use it at all. Probably never will.

 

[Ravage]

Almost all the time, particularly when i play FIFA.

 

[Pantz]

Never. I buy CD's.

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

Day and night.

Just not on PS4

 

[Monochromaticx]

kungfu kenny DAMN

 

[Venuspower]

Never.
Because it is causing a strange disconnecting bug while I am in parties.
Eventhough I do not have it open I get "network errors" that are forcing me to leave the party. Since I removed the Spotify App I do not have any issues anymore.
Found some other people in the www who had the same issue. They told something about "the app is continually for other devices in the local network". Which is probably causing the bug.

 

[fantomena]

Almost everyday. However Im eager to try Google Play Music, but Im not show if Im gonna bother making my Spotify playlist all over again, in GPM.

 

[The_Endgamer]

I don't use Spotify, I use Tidal but hell no. There are much more convenient devices to stream music content from.

Like a phone. Everyone has a phone or computer and they interface with those services way better than a controller ever could.

 

[barit]

Almost daily. Because everytime before I've to go to work I play one of my playlist and making breakfast. PS4 is the fastest way to do this too. It's awesome

 

[darkwing]

best non game app on the PS4

 

[Theonik]

I have never used Spotify at all.

 

[Possumowner]

Not once,I'm a Google Play Music user instead

 

[poussi]

I listen to music pretty much exclusively through Spotify nowadays, but have never used the Spotify app on my PS4. I guess if I wanted to listen to some other music while playing a game it would be nice (maybe Tetris or some racing or sports games), but I don't really have games like that on PS4.

 

[LionPride]

If my PS4 is on, Spotify is on

 

[brooklyniteOne]

Spotify all the time and will even more when Wipeout omega collection is released ha.

 

[shandy706]

I've never tried Spotify. I've also never tried any apps on my PS4. I just play games on it.

I've used IHeartRadio and the app that lets you play music during games on X1 (but that is rare).

If I could, I'd use my Amazon Prime music account on everything. I pay $7.99 for it and use it to stream over Bluetooth in my car.
