Support NeoGAF

[dralla]

Give me a Google Music app plz

 

[anddo0]

Fuck yeah. Killer app for Diablo III grinding

This is the first thing that popped into my head.

Also I can replace the GTA5 soundtrack with my own playlist.

This is gamechanging. It's a well known fact music makes grinding easier

Since I never tried it with Music Unlimited, can you just play background music with any game? or does the game have to support it?

 

[DannyDanger]

My whole music collection just landed on my PS4

 

[TheSlySoul]

Figured since Music Unlimited was doomed from the start. Background Spotify would be cool though.

 

[Jacobi]

So, is it premium only?

 

[Syph Medwes]

Fuck yes. Background play too?

Aww yiss. Driveclub wil be even better now.

wait what background play that's awesome

 

[kaching]

Why is it called "PlayStation Music" and not "Sony Music"? The latter would make more sense imo. Especially on phones and tablets.

Is this the beginning of PlayStation as a standalone brand?

They're leveraging the power of the brand, which they seem to have realized has more enduring potential than the company name. See also, Playstation TV coming soon.

 

[OnionPowder]

FUCK YES

 

[Valnen]

Best news ever. Spotify is ridiculously awesome.

Any game.

 

[JustenP88]

Looks like I need to make a switch! Go suck on a fuck, Rhapsody!

Has anyone else had problems with the Rhapsody Android app? I hate that damn thing.

eu blog:

You can also use Spotify while playing games on PS4, enabling you to soundtrack your gaming sessions with your favorite songs in the background. Want something heavy and rocking for an intense Destiny Raid

What is Spotify? Is it like Pandora except they charge you?

A superior version of Pandora without the annoying ads and better audio quality.

 

[Cornbread78]

No you won't, because Taylor Swift pulled all her music from Spotify.

Wow this is freaking awesome. I cannot wait. Now I will be able to play Destiny with Taylor Swift!

Thank God someone realized the joke...

OK, you can raid with me anytime, lol.

 

[Garibaldi]

What do you have to search to find Bayonetta?

If you search Nobuo Uematsu, you can listen to Distant Worlds I & II, along with a few other albums. Pretty awesome.

I could have sworn I had a playlist someone set up. I can't find it now typically, but I don't suppose it would be too hard to create your own based on what tracks are available on there.

Or I'm talking crap and it's a playlist based on my local copy of the soundtrack which is why it isn't showing on my phone.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

A guy called BADF00D on Reddit last April said an Xbox One version was coming too.

 

[kaiyo]

Sounds fishy.

Why not Spotify itself?
Will this only have a selection of Spotify's content?
Why is it called "PlayStation Music" and not "Sony Music"? The latter would make more sense imo. Especially on phones and tablets.

Because Sony Music is already subsidiary.

 

[Square Triangle]

Love this news, Spotify is my go to for music.

Music Unlimited's shut down is long overdue, it's horrible.

 

[jorgeton]

Megaton, truly.

 

[jiggles]

I didn't want to go back to Spotify from Deezer, but this'll do it.

 

[TONX]

I was JUST listening to a GTA Vice City playlist on Spotify yesterday and wondered if i would ever be able to add this playlist to GTA V.

Looks like its happening!

 

[RBK]

This is pretty good.

Hopefully it means a XB1 app is upcoming as well.

 

[glaurung]

I've been paying for Spotify for over half a year now. This is great news. Maybe the best news for PS4 music services yet?

And I am secretly glad that Music Unlimited is going the way of the dodo. That overpriced crap needed to die a long time ago.

 

[Oersted]

They're leveraging the power of the brand, which they seem to have realized has more enduring potential than the company name. See also, Playstation TV coming soon.

Coming soon? Lol, that thing is already out.

 

[kaching]

Give me a Google Music app plz

Me too but, as others have said, I'm guessing a large part of that is on Google themselves to make it happen.

Coming soon? Lol, that thing is already out.

Sorry, I meant Playstation Vue, their new streaming TV service coming out in the next few months.

 

[Ape]

Such great news! no one used Music Unlimited, except maybe a few super big sony fan boys lol.

Spotify is a great service. I'm on it and it is pretty good. Definitely a step up. Background streaming is a must but there's no reason to think it wont be there.

I'll look forward to using it when I get my PS4 later this year!

Oh, does anyone know if there's a free option? I don't pay for it.

 

[Floridian]

Personal playlist on GTA V finally on consoles?

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

How does spotify subscriptions work is it monthly, yearly or what? and what are the price points. Sorry for all the questions, I would check on my own but im at work.

 

[kiguel182]

Great news.

Background music will be great with some games.

 

[Piccoro]

KI music is on there? Awesome i need to add the songs to my playlist.

$9.99 a month for premium unless u got the 3-month deal a little while ago.

Music Unlimited was super shit and quite heavy on the OS. It never worked as intended and once you start running it, good luck getting back to change songs.

I'm glad they're killing it. Smart smart move.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Give me a Google Music app plz

Not happening any time soon, they still haven't bothered with a proper iPad version.

 

[tanooki27]

this is some great news, background play with spotify's massive library = hell yea

 

[JCX]

Such great news! Background play in games like Destiny should be great. It's probably too much to ask for a Vita version, isn't it?

 

[lantus]

Holy shit, my prayers have finally been answered.

 

[TheExhaustedWalrus]

Holy shit. This is amazing news.

 

[Nzyme32]

Not sure about it being fishy. Having something called Playstation Music may be something of an umbrella for other Music services to come along

 

[Insane Metal]

Wow, this is huge! And great! Awesome news.

 

[Midas]

Personal megaton. This is fantastic. Most, but not everything I like, is available with Spotify. I've been a user since beta and a subscriber for years.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Paid subs only? Bleh.

 

[GnawtyDog]

Good I guess.

USB Media player is better for my usage.

 

[BeeDog]

I just hope the Spotify app for PS4 is robust and supports tons of (huge) playlists. I'm a serious Spotify addict, with almost 500 playlists. My main playlists contain many thousands of tracks, so I really wish browsing and playing isn't laggy due to this.

 

[PuMa]

I've been waiting so long for this!!!

 

[DannyDanger]

Sex.

Sums it up

 

[SSReborn]

WOW I was literally just thinking about this today thank god!

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Well now I'm gonna cancel my Spotify subscription and switch to Xbox Music now that I know Spotify probably won't come to Xbox One.

 

[oti]

But who even likes Spotify?

 

[LifeLike]

This is fantastic !!
Great news !

I hope they will remove music unlimited from my bravia smart tv and my Xperia Z3 Compact.
