lol...SDF nitpicking in action .
if i were counting 95 millions i would have said less than 1.6%.
but the exact number matter not...the point is it's not that big for a free app considering it's ps3/4
ps4 only would have made it impressive.

SDF nitpicking? I'm not the one downplaying a spotify news article.
Even if it was a free download and less than 2% of total hardware attach rate. They were happy enough to post about it.
I wouldn't even say it was a feature that interested me at first, but I was very impressed indeed. To just press X on a music track and it plays instantly, literally and no problems with playback.
Only areas for improvement is the "my music" section. No organisation there, just one long list of tracks. Needs album sorting or artist or whatever.

Didn't expect this thread to be so salty!
Anyway, I'm new to Spotify, and I love how well it's integrated into the PS4 at the system level. All of the volume/skip/pause controls are right there in the quick menu when you hold the PS button. I was able to balance the volumes on the fly for the game I was playing, the party chat I was in and Spotify on the first night with virtually zero learning curve. And last night, I learned that I can control everything on my PS4 from my phone, which is even more glorious.
This is probably my second favorite new gen feature right behind headset audio, and I am absolutely in love with everything about it.
Warframe plus Star Wars themes is the business.

In a single day when the launch announcement and release occurred simultaneously?
Seems pretty decent to me.
You will not regret that purchase.

awesome app, even with the free version and the ads.
my playlist is skyrocketing in size
being able to control the app with my phone while on my PS4 is incredible. DriveClub while playing my metal music and fair to midland and shit is just so good

The app is pretty awesome. I really like that you can control it when hold down the PS button. It's a game changer when it comes to farming in Bloodborne.

I downloaded it just to try it out, I'm not a fan of music streaming services due to the lack of quality. Still nice to have I guess.

This is basically me, except i havent signed up for premium. I must admit having to shuffle on mobile is a pain but when i can just use a discography playlist i dont mind so much.
Really useful app though, saves having to worry about space on my phone etc which is always a plus.

I love how I don't even have to open the Spotify app on the ps4 in order to play music. It's a really awesome feature.

Glad it came to PS4 for those who are interested (I use it at work on my desktop) .. but how about folks who don't want the download icon stuck in the menu next to our most recent played game? Anyone know how / if it can be removed?
you might want to check your math buddy.
... in the first 24 hours.
How many owners didn't even have their PS3/4 on yesterday?
How many PS3/4 aren't connected to internet?
How many PS3s are still hooked up at all (replaced by PS4, in pawn shop, broken, etc...)?
I wonder what the active userbase is. Not 95 million I'm guessing. Either way, whether you're impressed with the numbers or not doesn't matter.
Its pointless to do math considering all the numbers we don't have. One you is probably don't know is that only around 40% of PS3s are connected to PSN. That 95 million you keep trying to parade around is significantly less.
It's a 9 meg file that I downloaded since I was on my PS4 last night anyway and the icon appeared prominently in my launcher with a quick link to the download. Of course I downloaded it...haven't done much with it yet though. That'll have to wait until I decide what kind of account I'd prefer to setup.
Never sure what to make of day 1 download numbers for apps like this. I don't think it portrays an unprecedented or even just unexpected level of interest, by any means.

Had no clue I could control it with my phone app! I'll definitely be using it tonight for my Bloodborne play session.

Ahh, I see. I only tried it on FIFA, so that must not be one of the supported games. Thanks guys.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear there are more active PS4's than PS3's.
