The company Sony already announced a few months ago that it would give up its attempt to move forward Music Unlimited , your own music streaming service or via InternetTo avoid leaving its users without music, it decided to join forces with the service of Spotify And it is today when this agreement begins to take shape with the launch of the application of this service both for its new generation game console PlayStation 4, and for the previous edition, the PlayStation 3.
In this way, gamers have a much more attractive option to enjoy their music directly on the game console. And what's more, even while playing. Of course, this function is only available on PlayStation 4, where it is possible to enter the application of Spotify , select a playlist, and launch any game. The downside is that the player must manually adjust the in-game volume to avoid interference between title sounds and music.
Its operation is really simple, and it follows the trail of what has been seen in its applications mobiles, but adapting its design to the environment PlayStation, with large, clearly visible menus and disc sleeves. Spotify for PlayStation requires a user account, which can be added by signing in with the data from the social network Facebook, entering your own data or even with the function Spotify Connect that the mobile app added a few months ago.With this the data is synchronized to have the user's music at hand ready to be played.
Of course, regular users of this service will find some shortcomings in the application for game consoles. And it seems to be focused, at least initially, toward the playlists suggested by the service itself. Of course, it is still possible to find specific albums and songs, although performing the appropriate search through the application. Something that from mobile phones was not necessary if the specific album had already been searched, being able to play it from the section Your music
Apart from this, it must be said that the Spotify service on PlayStation presents two models. One free very similar to that seen in the mobile applications, where you can play random music or even songs from one album, and another Premium or paid with all options unlocked and without .Regarding this second option, paying users of Sony's Music Unlimited will receive two free months of the service , while new users will be able to use it for one. For the rest, the service will have a price of less than ten euros a month to be able to access all the music unlimited and without .
In short, a substantial change compared to the previous music service of Sony And now the users of PlayStation will have their favorite music available, and can even play it during their games. All this with the convenience of manage payments through your PlayStation Network account or using the mobile app and the Spotify Connect feature The Spotify app is now available for free on PlayStation
