Support NeoGAF

[Harlock]

No CD support, ok. But the MP3 player is the most generic and unispired interfade ever created. Not even any animation in the screen. Besides that, I noted that the MP3 I tested only played in the two frontal speakers of my HT, while the same music, playing in the Youtube app, uses the subwoofer. Maybe is something in the config I am missing.

the OG XBOX was the best audio player...

Some zoomer never had an OG ps1.

RIP my youth

You just brought me back in time. O-N-E I guess time travel IS possible, you were right

I aint no Zoomer… Only brap can call me that. But no I was too poor for a PS1.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Unfair to blame a video game console to be good at playing something like CDs, MP3's or music in general yes SONY made bad decisions on music I think the PS4 handles spotify well.

 

[Sp3eD]

Ps4 has Spotify support. That alone wins

Listening to podcasts right now while making people my fucking bitch in Overwatch

 

[BlackOlivesMatter]

I use Spotify on my PS4.

Especially great for playing Fishing Planet.

 

[Thing on a Spring]

Remember the visualiser on the PS1? Good times.

 

[Doom85]

I just use Spotify. Had no idea the PS4 even had an MP3 player.

 

[Coolwhhip]

Mp3? Ok boomer

Damn! I was pretty poor, but we still managed to get a PS1.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Use Spotify on PS4.

Though i can't use mine anymore because when i click to download the app via my PS4 Store, the download link does not appear so i can't download Spotify.

I already tried:
1) Removing my hard drive.
2) Initializing my PS4

Nothing works so i'll just wait for PS5 to hit to get Spotify again.

Topic title “kinda of” is so awkward it’s throwing me off.

Never saw the need for using a video game system for listening to music. Too many other devices do that so well.

Wins what?

 

[Max_Po]

Mp3? Ok boomer

 

[Sp3eD]

Wins what?

The distinction as a great music player And it not sucking. The actual answer to the name of the thread title...

 

[Master Of Illusion]

By comparison, the PS1 was an audiophile-grade CD player.

What hath God wrought?

That’s a stretch. Winning needs a competitor. If you’re answer to the thread title was that the PS4 is good at music for your reason, then sure. But saying wins doesn’t make sense.

If I was on the team for a new console, I can’t really say I’d choose to spend resources, money, and time on setting this stuff up, versus simply letting everyone use streaming services, which most are going to want to do anyway.

That’s my issue with PS4, or was the last I checked; it needs more than Spotify.

I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, or physical or download music is bad. I would prefer the most functionality possible. It’s just that that’s pretty far away from the expectation these days, and when you’re trying to launch a console against impossible logistics, or only have so much employee and financial bandwidth to improve things throughout its life, something like that is going to be the first thing to go.

I personally haven’t even *thought* about buying a CD or an MP3 for the last 7 years.

Solid points. And the big companies harvest user data and can see usage rates of functions on systems. Sony probably saw little CD and MP3 usage on PS3 so they didn’t bother putting it in PS4.

yes the game console might feel sad and start crying if you blame him

 

[Harlock]

I don´t wann fuckin sputify and your smiley duotone people. I wanna my mp3 running well.

 

[buizel]

the actual problem AFAIK is you cant 'quick select' a song from the spotify quick menu.

i can only play last played/playlists, not just search for whatever. means i gotta get my phone and then dick around with that. still nice though.

i remember hooking up mp3s to the 360 and watching the visualizer.

 

[TTOOLL]

Use Spotify and control it from your phone/laptop. It's great.

 

[Brian Fellows]

I just use Spotify. I've never tried to play music another way.

 

[bronk]

360 days I always used last.fm when I threw parties.

 

[Celcius]

I still find it hard to believe the PS4 can’t play audio cd’s (also uhd disks)

Maybe the PS5 will have an 8 track and VHS player built in for ya.

 

[neobiz]

I need cassette tape support as well

 

[Harlock]

I doubt. It barely can play PS4 games by now.
