No PSVita app is a bummer.

 

[Carl]

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

yeah looks like you can use the free version

 

[ViciousDS]

yeah looks like you can use the free version

yyyuuuussssss


thats badass

 

[chadskin]

Works perfectly with Driveclub. Very neat.

 

[Piccoro]

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

How did you do that exactly? Can't find anything on the app.

 

[barit]

Does it require Spotify Premium? I have Spotify on my 5.1 HTC, but it requires Premium.

Just registered for the first time and now I'm listening to the new Prodigy album without paying any cent.

How is this possible? That's stealing!

 

[RedAssedApe]

I need to tell you something. I really really really really really really like you. Lol

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.

It doesn't. It suspends. You can go back to playing your game right where you left off

 

[Withnail]

How did you do that exactly? Can't find anything on the app.

I clicked on Get Premium and then there was a banner saying something like "Free trial for Playstation Network". Then just follow the instructions.

Your PSN and Spotify accounts become linked when you log in (it will prompt you). You don't need a phone, you can also log in on the console app itself.

 

[Qassim]

Argh, this exclusive nonsense is annoying. I don't want to boot up my PS4 just to use spotify on my TV

 

[kinoki]

All I wanted to hear.

 

[kudoboi]

the audio quality isn't very good. there is also a lack of last.fm integration which is a must for me sadly.

 

[RedAssedApe]

Hope it doesn't show what you are listening to like it does with videos hehe

 

[chadskin]

For better audio quality you need Premium, then - at least on PC - it should be comparable to a 320kbps MP3.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

10/10!!!!!

You can quickly skip songs by holding PS Button and pressing R1 (next) or L1 (previous).

Fucking butter smooth! So much better than that bullshit Sony was running.

So much better!!!

 

[ubersticky]

Cannot start the application.

You must turn on Settings > System > Enable HDCP

Well... I guess that was it. I'll never be using spotify on my ps4

 

[Piccoro]

Apparently, this app is for PS3, PS4 and Xperia devices according to the blog: http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2015/03/30/spotify-launches-playstation-music-today/

I have an Xperia device but I still can't find the Playstation Music app, just the old Spotify Android app...

EDIT:

Music Unlimited subscribers with accounts active as of 29th March 2015, will receive a free two-month trial to Spotify Premium
New and existing Spotify users who have not previously received a trial of Spotify Premium can receive 1 month free

So even Premium members will get a free month!

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.

I wouldn't be surprised if the reason it's a PlayStation "exclusive" is because MS told them to piss off when discussing the possibility of a Spotify app. Just like Sony did before they gave up on Music Unlimited.

 

[StaffyManasse]

Yes! Great news!

i do have spotify premium.

Exclusivity benefits no one.

Exclusivity is stupidity.

Is it up in Sweden yet? I cant find it in the PSN Store on my browser. In fact, I cant find any app section at all....

Nice. I'm going to try that out.

 

[GrizzNKev]

Holy shit this is fantastic

Never used Spotify before, having it on with Bloodborne is great.

 

[Covfan]

Really liking the app and I am impressed with the sound outputted through the gold headset.

 

[Tourmeta]

It doesn't. It suspends. You can go back to playing your game right where you left off

Oh you're right, cheers! Understood that wrongly.

 

[Rosur]

This launching everywhere today? or just US? Look forward to using it while I grind out trophies

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Now we need a playlist for Bloodborne!

 

[RedAssedApe]

Now we need a playlist for Bloodborne!

What the heck kind of music is appropriate for bb though? Lol

 

[kudoboi]

all 41 countries where Spotify is available

If Spotify is available, so is this.

Cool

 

[Rock Howard]

no spotify love for South Korea, i´m sad!

Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Theme.

Fu uuuuuhgggg!

Edit: Deus Ex - Icarus (Main Theme)!!

 

[moffattron9000]

Cool. Now I just hope that Spotify can fix that trainwreck of a PC client.

 

[OverBlood 3]

None of my playlists are on there and I can't remote control the songs from my phone.

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

Using it now on the PS4. Sound quality is amazing even in the free version. Got Too Short blow the whistle on blast now.

 

[SPCTRE]

dat 'sclusivity

My music listening habits are about the only area where I feel distinctly out of touch with technology. I should probably look into that "streaming" stuff the kids are into these days.

 

[Piccoro]

So PlayStation Network has a new website, but it's not functioning properly yet: http://www.playstationnetwork.com/home/

I can't even login yet.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Eurgh please remove the useless Music Unlimited icon Sony. I don't need it cluttering my library.

 

[DOWN]

Uh, I try to login and it just is stuck on the Spotify logo after...

 

[Radec]

yikes. exclusive app.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Good morning surprise

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

15 seconds audio ad telling me to upgrade after playing and skipping through dozen tracks.

I don't mind, I suppose. Nothing unusual.

 

[Ogawa-san]

Integration with games seems to be something that has to be supported and not just a system thing.

DoA5, Toukiden and SW4 for example pause the stream and play the regular game music, stream resumes when I go back to the OS menu. Rogue Legacy, Infamous FL and D3 work fine, only play the stream and resume regular music when you pause it.

 

[GeoramA]

Yes! FF Type-0's repetitive music is getting on my nerves.

Integration with games seems to be something that has to be supported by games and not just a system thing.

Oh man, not sure if this is good. I guess Sony will now mandate this? They have to.

 

[Prine]

Sony using their music branch to make the deal sweet for Spotify no doubt.

 

[Hamster Plugin]

Cool. Now I just hope that Spotify can fix that trainwreck of a PC client.

That's very unlikely to happen. The reason the Windows and Mac apps are so shitty is because they're basically web browsers.

The only way you'll get a snappy fast experience is by downgrading (upgrading really) to an old version with the update blocking trick (you probably want version 0.8.5.1356). This old version doesn't use web views for most of the content and doesn't lag at all.

 

[Poop!]

Apparently, this app is for PS3, PS4 and Xperia devices according to the blog: http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2015/03/30/spotify-launches-playstation-music-today/

So "exclusive to Playstation" means no Vita but Smartphones? Seems odd marketing speak that doesn't really fit.

Noticed that, too. Driveclub works and Hustle Kings doesn't. That's kinda annoying.
