Support NeoGAF

[Marleyman]

he corrected that tweet by saying he was talking about XB1 not being a Media Extender

Ah, thanks.

That Tim Dog guy is hilarious..those tweets.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Why not just shut MU down? Who the hell uses that anyway?

"Who the hell uses Spotify, Google Music, Amazon Music, etc. anyway?"

 

[bud]

wait, it doesn't support dlna either? granted, i can't even get media server to work properly on the ps3, but this is utterly disgraceful.

 

[BloodMoney]

Sucks, BUT i listen to music like 90% of the time on my phone

why?
that's like saying I play my 1080p videogame on a 480i CRT.

 

[- J - D -]

I'm never gonna use the feature, but come on Sony, no MP3 support? Really? Really?

 

[EmptySpace]

I could swear people were saying the same thing about MS back in June before the policy reversals.

comparing reactions to both xbone's past policies and no custom soundtracks in games. really?

 

[jacksepticeye]

Yikes....

 

[LukasTaves]

According to Albert you can play your own music on Xbox One. No answer about DLNA yet.

Xbone will support the play to charm on windows 8. Ms already showed this... However, I think the play to is based on a proprietary protocol from Ms, and not open like DLNA, so it will probably only work from W8/8.1 Pcs to xbox.

However, with an open app store on xbone, I'm sure it wouldn't take long to see either players capable of playing the content themselves or that do support DLNA streaming...

 

[Rapstah]

Giving custom wrestlers ridiculous intro music was a great use for this feature on this gen's consoles and it's stupid as hell that they can't have both. Sell your music service on being easy access to legal official music, not the only acess to music at all.

 

[i-Lo]

Pay for background music? Can't play MP3s stored in the drive? What the fuck? WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING THIS SONY? This is so anti consumerist bullshit.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

This is a bunch of shit and needs to change.

I agree. Hopefully Sony reads the outcry and gets to work on it.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

This is actually awful, every game that allowed custom soundtracks on PS3 I played my MP3s.

Also I remember them boasting about a feature that more games allowing custom soundtracks, which makes this even worse.

 

[TheRealTalker]

tweeted at them about the certain problems.... hope they make a patch for this in the future

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

1 year of music unlimited - 59,99$ (41,99$ for ps+ members)

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/10/30/ps4-the-ultimate-faq-north-america/

Wow what a great deal. Will definitely subscribe for MU.

Spoiler

Hell no.

 

[la flama blanca]

Sony cutting corners right before launch, no MP3 support is a huge loss.

It's Sony showing that they're a real company with departments that have their own priorities. The development team within the Playstation division is a dream come true for us, but they have to answer to plenty of other suits in and around them. This is my guess, but from what I've seen this has to be the case. I only hope that we can get them to open things up because at the very least we should be able to bring in our own mp3's to play music in the background.

 

[Tsundere]

Albert said it. How much more confirmation do you need?

Quote me where he says you can do those specific things at launch (use your own mp3s to play in the background).

And just for clarification, Albert... is hardly confirmation of anything, considering all he's said on NeoGaf.

 

[cebri.one]

Does anybody knows if the PS4 will be able to reproduce MKV? At least give me that Sony.

 

[pokeystaples]

I've only used this for Wipeout and only the one time. :-/ Won't be much of a loss for me.

 

[Sylvrfonic]

Looks like the Sony love train is pulling out of the station with few empty seats.

 

[Raiku]

Fuck me.

 

[twobear]

Hopefully they add Spotify support or something, that would be cool.

 

[darkwing]

Does anybody knows if the PS4 will be able to reproduce MKV? At least give me that Sony.

lol the PS4 can't even play MP3

 

[Bedlam]

I was already contemplating cancelling my PS4 pre-order after some recent developments (Driveclub delayed etc) but this might just be the one thing that finally makes me pull the trigger.

I used both my 360 and PS3 for listening to mp3s regularly. :-/

So, I just did it.
However, I was close to cancelling anyway, this was just the last straw. I'm just gonna buy a PS4 next year when there are more games to play and the first kinks are ironed out.

 

[MThanded]

Does anybody knows if the PS4 will be able to reproduce MKV? At least give me that Sony.

I'm guessing no. Honestly.

 

[Disco Batman]

Then you're oblivious, and very, very wrong. And calling anybody who wants to stream content from their PC to their consoles connected to the TV a pirate.

Using media devices for simple media capabilities is now some kind of illicit activity.

Don't take everything so personally I didn't say YOU, I said people. And I know plenty of people who do exactly what I said.

 

[BloodMoney]

Pay for background music? Can't play MP3s stored in the drive? What the fuck? WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING THIS SONY? This is so anti consumerist bullshit.

You can't play music through the PS4 AT ALL, unless its through music unlimited.

 

[Confidence Man]

Next up: doesn't play blu-ray movies.

 

[oconnomiyaki]

I feel like someone needs to tap Sony on the shoulder and tell it that if it wants people to use Music Unlimited (or any of its other services) then perhaps it should actually make it worth a damn. Get a stronger catalogue and some better software. Trying to use a product as a Trojan Horse isn't a good look.

The DNLA stuff is obvious, too, as they wanna sell you stuff from Video Unlimited. But Video Unlimited is, ironically, limited to where it's usable. It's not usable in New Zealand, for example.

 

[Elginer]

This is some major bullshit. I mean really, even the damn original Xbox could play my damn MP3s and we're in 2013 and instead of going forward we're going backward. WTF is this?

No DLNA or MP3 playback is a big damn deal. I was expecting the PS4 to do pretty much everything the PS3 did - only better. They better patch that shit that.

 

[Whogie]

No DLNA!? What the fuck. I thought that was a given.

Really hoping XB1 has it (and that it's even a little better than the 360's implementation.)

 

[NullPointer]

Don't take everything so personally I didn't say YOU, I said people. And I know plenty of people who do exactly what I said.

I'm people. And your statement is full of rich, frothy shit.

 

[MThanded]

Hopefully they add Spotify support or something, that would be cool.

No way in hell that happens. That would be a direct competitor to MU with a much better selection and more device support.

 

[Caayn]

Does anybody knows if the PS4 will be able to reproduce MKV? At least give me that Sony.

I don't know any camera that can shoot in .MKV. And .MKV is 99.9% used for pirated content. So I wouldn't expect it.

 

[jmdajr]

Does anybody knows if the PS4 will be able to reproduce MKV? At least give me that Sony.

Dude you cant even play mp3s. Shit that can be bought legally.

 

[darkwing]

what is this, even the Vita supports MP3 and DLNA thingy

 

[Principate]

Next up: doesn't play blu-ray movies.

Nah man they got they're own incentive for that. Next up Blu-ray only plays Sony movies.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

My personal view on the PS4:

Video Games - check
Netflix - check
Blu ray movie playback - check
Everything else - HarrisonFordwhogivesashit.gif

 

[Cidd]

Even the PS1 and PS2 played MP3...

 

[gundamkyoukai]

They do as long as you pay them $10/m. Which is why this is a shit move. Worse than putting the feature behind the PS+ paywall.

For people like me that live in non major regions\ countries it's one of the biggest Fuck you you can do .
Even if i wanted to pay i can't cause it not support where i am .
Well i guess Sony will just lose sales from me and my friends .

 

[grkazan12]

Maybe this is what CBOAT was warning about when he/she that the companies aren't in it for us and are trying to monetize every aspect of the console.

Is this apart of the upcoming ass storm?

 

[RocBase]

PS4 literally only plays games.

Next we'll hear it suddenly won't play movies either.

 

[Disco Batman]

I'm people. And your statement is full of rich, frothy shit.

You sure do cry a lot.

 

[xaosslug]

Sony cutting corners right before launch, no MP3 support is a huge loss. No way I am subbing to their own music to play my own background music for games.

LOL

 

[Ambient80]

Where is this from? And if this is true it's absolute horseshit. This should be a standard feature. Makes no fucking sense to do this. I don't want to sign up for your shitty ass streaming solution.

Edit: Didn't see the other thread so this is from their offiicial FAQ. Such bullshit.

Mmm, ass streaming.

 

[SneakyStephan]

It can't play cds either, right? (or was that the xbone)
I remember that thread 'lol who uses cds now all my music is digital now', the irony in hindsight

anyhow, wow, so fucking stupid

leme guess there is also no mkv or mp4 support , and there will still be no option to play subtitle files for your rips.

edit : and no DLNA either? hahahahahahha

PS4, it only does NOTHING online fees

 

[entremet]

No way in hell that happens. That would be a direct competitor to MU with a much better selection and more device support.

But Apple has its own streaming service and it allows competitors on their platform?

 

[Timeaisis]

Welcome to Next gen?

 

[kingocfs]

Next up: doesn't play blu-ray movies.

I mean, there is always a chance I have trouble downloading that day one patch, which would mean I couldn't even play Blu Rays.

 

[chubigans]

According to Albert you can play your own music on Xbox One. No answer about DLNA yet.

No, he confirmed you can use Xbox Music, not mp3s. Xbox Music is also a subscription service, but it allows you to stream your own ripped CDs over the network: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/music

 

[MThanded]

But Apple has its own streaming service and it allows competitors on their platform?

there is no spotify on apple tv or pandora.

You can use airplay from the idevices.
