looks like you can change tracks and stuff via your phone or tablet.

kind of scared what streams are gonna be like now...are you going to be able to hear the music over twitch?

Probably not because the PS4 is streaming the game, not the game + background application. Plus, copyright issues.

 

[Carl]

Oh good. Used music unlimited every day and was worried they were going to take ages with spotify.

 

[Nzyme32]

Can't you just run Spotify in the background on PC anyway?

Yeah you can, but its just one of those minor nuisances I want to see more intuitively usable

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Isbot on ps4 now or later in the day?

 

[Goodacre0081]

The Verge says it doesn't, you have to manually adjust the volume of the game.

lame

 

[SSReborn]

 

[jmaine_ph]

It's says 10am. I wonder if that's est or pdst

Edit: looks like it's out now.

 

[DOWN]

So screw Bungie for not letting us have Audio sliders.

But glad this app has arrived.

 

[Zareka]

Not hit for me yet it seems. Music Unlimited is still there and tells me it's no longer available when I click on it.

 

[RedAssedApe]

those of you who say its up should mention what region you're in

 

[Hamster Plugin]

I can't find it on PS4, but it did appear on my PS3's XMB and downloading now. I'm in Finland.

PS4 just says that Music Unlimited is not available and when I press OK on that screen, it tries to access the PSN Store, but the app isn't on the store yet... Sony pls.

[Vashetti]

Downloading now for me on PS4.

 

[RedAssedApe]

i should go to bed but i kind of want to see if this is up hah

 

[Goodacre0081]

Downloading now for me on PS4.

region?

 

[RedAssedApe]

yep up in the us store now

 

[bombshell]

It's says 10am. I wonder if that's est or pdst

Edit: looks like it's out now.

It's Eurogamer, so neither

 

[Combichristoffersen]

* Checks list
* Norway is in

Sweet, gonna try this out when I get off work.

 

[tanuki]

Driveclub just became soooooo much better.

 

[lazybones18]

US (East Coast) and it's up in the store

 

[NumberThree]

I wish I could just play whatever music service I want through the browser. I'm not going to pay for two music streaming services and Google offers a much better solution by letting me upload my own music that is missing from the service.

 

[Hamster Plugin]

PS4 version available on PSN store now in Finland too.

Lol the app was almost 50 MB on PS3 and only 9.8 MB on PS4.

 

[Drencrom]

Up in EU, starting Music Unlimited leads you to the Spotify download on the store.

 

[BillGaitas]

Nothing on PS3 at the moment (Portugal).

 

[JP]

Maybe the vagueness around the exclusivity thing will mean that PlayStation Music will end up being multi-platform as that seems to be the way that Sony is going at the moment.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Heard my PS4 wake up. This might be it.

Thanks for the background/rest-mode download, technology!

 

[Piccoro]

Right now? Even the PS3 version? :O

 

[Hamster Plugin]

Nothing on PS3 at the moment (Portugal).

On PS3, it should appear under the Music section on XMB. It's a forced icon, much like the Singstar one (god damn that icon).

 

[Karu]

2 month free for music unlimited subscribers, sweet!

 

[Vashetti]

Playstation Music/Spotify is a separate app from Music Unlimited.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Sounds interesting. is this thing usable offline?

 

[DOWN]

Maybe the vagueness around the exclusivity thing will mean that PlayStation Music will end up being multi-platform as that seems to be the way that Sony is going at the moment.

I think it has more to do with Sony grabbing some buzz while Microsoft decides how committed they are to their competing Xbox Music service and whether Spotify would be smart to make friends with.

 

[SgtCobra]

Stupid.

Nah Spotify is pretty cool.

 

[Piccoro]

On PS3, it should appear under the Music section on XMB. It's a forced icon, much like the Singstar one (god damn that icon).

Oh, so it won't appear on the webstore, just on the console itself...

And why don't they make a Vita app also? At least they could make the Spotify website compatible with the Vita's browser...

 

[RedAssedApe]

Whee...no shuffle restriction like on desktop version

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Whee...no shuffle restriction like on desktop version

Game changer.

Do they have a free version?

 

[Carl]

2 month free for music unlimited subscribers, sweet!

Yup, nice surprise

 

[Freewheelin']

Just updated in the UK for me, using it via phone is very nice.

 

[Muzicfreq]

 

[RedAssedApe]

Game changer.

Do they have a free version?

yup i'm not a subscriber. just randomly picked a track from one of my desktop playlists with no issues. skipped forward and backward through the tracklist using the quick menu (holding down home button)

or even quicker through your phone or tablet

 

[whoszed]

I don't see it anywhere, Finland should be one of the launch markets.

Edit: Never mind, apparently I wasn't looking hard enough. Downloading on PS4

 

[Withnail]

Not at my PS4 but just linked my accounts via the Spotify mobile app and now enjoying the two month free trial.

 

[ZeroX03]

Signed up to try it out but it doesn't have much of what I listen to. Then I realized I can use USB and it doesn't require HDCP on so I'll keep doing that instead.

 

[Ogawa-san]

Just downloaded it, US PSN through the PS4 store app.

And to make extra sure you won't have Spotify on Vita, native app or otherwise: it doesn't work through remote play.

 

[ducksauce]

Time to buy Driveclub I guess?

 

[poopninjamvc3mk]

Damn no Vita version? Kinda seems like a no brainer, would've been nice for grinding in Persona and doing some missions in Unit 13

 

[ViciousDS]

you don't even need premium to use this correct? If not I'll gladly sub because it will become my most used spotify device in the house

 

[Tourmeta]

Very cool but I'm a bit disappointed it wants to close the game (GTA5) if I want to enter the Spotify App to manually go to another song. The phone connect feature looks like it'll be slightly useful.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Damn no Vita version? Kinda seems like a no brainer, would've been nice for grinding in Persona and doing some missions in Unit 13

wonder if its because its mobile and they'd have to have the shuffle restrictions like on phone and tablet? would kind of make it lame.

 

[zorlaczerohero]

awesome

Stupid.

One of these people owns only an Xbox One (post history gives it away). Dude sour grapes, this is great news for PS owners, in no way is it 'stupid'. This sort of annoys me if only because if the announcement was 'exclusive to Xbox for the foreseeable future', then it's entirely possible the reactions would be reversed. If you're not happy for yourself, be happy for the people out there that will benefit.
