If you want me to use your product, make it good. Don't make it impossible to remove.

Does it have folder support? Album support? Playlist support? Or is everything in one giant list, and any folders within "MUSIC" are ignored? This is the difference between a subpar music player and a decent one, and I can't test it now. If someone could help me out here it'd be appreciated.

What's the verdict on the themes that are available? Anything decent or at least aesthetically pleasing? I rocked the Flower theme most of last gen.
That should be a requested feature but no one makes a petition for them at the PS Blog feedback page. I would also like to have the ability to send those apps to the Library folder (away from the Dashboard for good).
Folder support. Haven't tried playlist support.
Calm down. It's nothing to rage about.

I like the paper theme, a little too busy though, but the music is good, very up lifting.
There was a tweek from a sony person that said there would be a surprise theme that no one knew about, I can't wait.
The quality of the chat is much clearer.

Some really nice little things they updated that weren't in bullet points. Overall, with Themes and the YouTube app coming later today, this is a pretty major update. I hope that they start rolling out updates on a monthly schedule the way Microsoft is doing it, but I'm pretty happy with this.

I really like the look of the White Rectangular Theme. Spiral Theme is second favorite.

Do we know if they will go the library eventually or do they stay in the 14 and 15 spot?
Also I like the idea of different color themes but anything other than the default blue feels off. Could be the that the default apps still have a blue tint, ie: browser, TV, Photo Gallery, Live from PS. Looks weird with the different background colors.
It's a shame the only change in background in the themes is on the home screen. It would have been nice to have it running throughout. Hopefully we get to customise themes by changing sounds and what not further down the road.
Rectangle theme is my favourite at the moment. Paper theme is cute, but I'm not keen on the music on the Spiral theme. Doesn't really fit in to me.

I not home to update yet but can anyone confirm if the PS4 lets you output chat to speakers and talk with a mic like on the PS3?

I can't find the guy to quote him, but I'm having the same issue with stand-by mode. It just won't turn on no matter what.
Hey there!
Hey there!
Where are these themes? It says error when you try to go to the store.
Orders get recognized. You can play them all at once or just one album/mix on repeat or shuffle. It's just a basic simple player but doing the job fine. It even shows you the album cover when available.

It's subpar but functional. I think this was just a placeholder, until they sort out a better one.
There is no way of queuing up a custom list of albums, it recognises folder structure, but you either play one album or play all on the drive. Pretty bare bones.

Wondering this as well, is this a US PSN only thing? Also I thought I read people talking about a YouTube app? Is that not in Canada either?

When you go out of an app or game you ALWAYS see a pop-up of your name in the left corner.
Even when you turn off all notifications. Annoying as fuck.

I agree. Everyone crapping their pants over some pretty basic stuff, in my opinion. Share Play is cool but it was part of the February 2013 announcement.
It adds a feature that has literally never been available before in any gaming device.
It's the opposite of barebones.

we're still in the first year and you have to actually use the OS to see the changes .
I don't see how it's "barebones" when it's adding so much stuff.
Share play is basic stuff ?
SharePlay is the opposite of basic. It's an incredibly advanced feature.
That is very cool and I still need to try it, but we should have suspend and resume by now and it shouldn't have taken nearly a year to get something basic like pausing downloads. I just feel like Sony could do so much more in this area, MS seems to introduce new features and tweaks so damn quickly while Sony is slow to react.
Shareplay is in no way, shape, or form "basic stuff"
Still couldn't try it out for myself so maybe someone can help me out here. How does the music player organize your tracks? Is it possible to create several sub folders according to album or such, or all yiu can do is just dump everything in there and then it auto sorts things? thanks in advance

You can create folders (not on the console) on the drive, as long as you put everything in a folder named "Music".
Every game now needs the option to mute music, was playing Destiny just now where you can't and it sounded horrible.

Are they accessible from the PS4 or do I need to access through the web browser?
Sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but has anyone managed to get Share Play co-op to work with Sportsfriends..?
I tried a few times and got a error message about region differences, but Trine 2 and Mercenary Kings worked just fine in co-op with the same person. So far when it works it seems to work really well for me.
