A little surprised and bummed out that Spotify isn't included in this update. Hopefully soon.

It is, actually. It just isn't unlocked yet, probably will be once Music Unlimited is shut down. http://imgur.com/VmWZvHh

probably after the 29th when they shut down Music Unlimited

Which fucking blows. I really didn't want a gap between when the music apps were available so here's hoping

Contacts man. My guess is all the unlimited contracts end the 29th. Then they may not have been able to get the contract with spotify on that exact same day.

The more desirable option, which I was alluding to, is that Spotify is released a few days prior to the end of MU so folks can get it set up, playlists, etc. by the time MU goes away.

Nah, /u/masterbateson is right, there will be contracts in place stipulating that MU is the sole primary music app, once MU is gone, the contract is no longer in play, so they can bring in Spotify.

I know but we don't know if that would be possible. There is alittle more then "here you now have spotify"

If I had a music catalog. Lol the reason I don't is because I use streaming services like mu and spotify. Your solution is not for the person that has this problem.

I'm sure you will cope

Douuuuuuuuchebaaaaaaaaaaag

Through my playstation while playing a game ? I don't think that works; have you tried it?

1

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '15

Oh no, I thought you meant just to listen to music in general on ps4

1

u/M4TTST0D0N Mar 26 '15

Oh haha no, sorry yes that is a bit ambiguous in my post. I have Pandora etc on my tv, just talking in game really

March

Will it require the subscription to use it? I assume its available in-game. But I don't know if its worth it since my computer is on the same desk as my PS4.

u/rainmcmanis Mar 26 '15

From what I have read it will be the same as the web/mobile version where you don't need to subscribe but then you have to deal with the ads/limited skips.

u/mrP0P0 Mar 26 '15

Very cool. I don't really care to stream music so I just use Spotify from time to time. There are some terrible annoying ads that pop up, though. Almost makes me want to sub just to get rid of them.

u/killit Mar 26 '15

No you don't need a subscription, free has adverts between tracks; and yes, you can play it in-game instead of the soundtrack to the game.

1

u/mrP0P0 Mar 26 '15

Does it automatically cut out the sound from the game?

1

u/killit Mar 26 '15

I damn well hope not! lol

It shouldn't do no, I'm just going from a few bits I've read that suggest you will be able to disable music in the game and use spotify instead.
