Every device in the history of ever technically only plays mp3 files in "some kind of app". And why do you think the patched in mp3 support will be very limited and not work in games for example? You realize they patched trophies in and those work with third party games?

How appropriate. Seems they're hedging their bets on people signing up for Music Unlimited.
they want to push music unlimited
why would anybody subscribe to the service if you can just listen to your own music while gaming ?
its a paywall and its not going anywhere.
they will patch in mp3 support but background music is only available for music unlimited subscribers
haha
30 days freeeee
I'll give one thing to MU, it's got video game soundtracks. A ton of them. Plus new albums as they release.
God damnit Gaf, why couldn't you bring this much attention to the fact that we STILL can't change our PSN IDs???
Fuck, this sucks.
You sound so sure. Proof? You talk like you know something.

Then why not support it at launch and why is CD playback mysteriously not operational?
no proof. just common sense.
sony isnt your good old buddy from 1999. they try to make money. i dont see why they would change this background music nonsense.
And now.... when Sony is indeed focused on gamers-first approach, gates of hell have opened because multimedia support is not great. Sigh. They cant make everybody happy.
6 moths ago everybody was happy beacuse of the gamers-first approach....

30 MAY 2013 - Hirai acknowledged the PS4 will have non-game applications. But Sony will not emphasize those at the outset as it did with the launch of the PlayStation 3 game console in 2006.
He said Sony would add other entertainment apps, “But that’s after we establish the platform as a video game platform. We want to make sure that we are there for the gamers with our PS4 as well. They will go beyond this, but they’ll definitely start with gamer first.

You got this wrong people are upset because the reason this stuff isn't in seems to be because Sony would rather force us into their Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited ecosystems.
Lol that's not what they're doing, if that was the case Music unlimited wouldn't be available at launch.
Sony is putting playing music on your console behind a pay wall that all there is to it.It's simply a question of whether it's a temporary pay wall or a permanent one.

We'll at least we know SNE is listening. Time to wait and see if they actually choose to act.
I don't disagree, but it's not like including MP3 and DLNA compatability are complex items. They would be simple to implement, and it's pretty obvious they were excluded to push cloud services on the consumer.And now.... when Sony is indeed focused on gamers-first approach, gates of hell have opened because multimedia support is not great.

NOPE!!! AAC/M4A audio files should work.
Wow this really blew up on twitter overnight huh? I forgot to close down my computer last night and had the twitter page up with the hashtag search of #PS4NoDLNA and WOW @ how many tweets I woke up too.

Interesting evidence of this?
This is why I'm not really worried about this. Sony has a proven track record of listening and responding to their gamer base concerns.

It's common sense. The PS4 MUST support AAC/M4A audio files because videos from the PS Store, Videos Unlimited, & other VOD App/services uses AAC audio.

So you want to listen to your music on the PS4? Now you can.
Simply sign up here for your free 30 day trial or download the Music Unlimited app from the store and listen to millions of songs, from launch, on your PlayStation 4.
The funny thing the average person doesn't even know what DLNA is.
I am pretty sure they will add the feature back.

Well the people who like those features will buy PS3s...I've heard something like that somewhere before.
This. I wish people would realise this is a launch - look at how different PS3 ended up from launch...you could even navigate the XMB ingame and there were no trophies!
