Really not nice or consumer friendly.
Hopefully their streaming service will tank fast enough to make the problem disappear.

PS4 can't play MP3, Music Unlimited needed for background music [Up:Yoshida responds]

The day any console will legally support MKV is the same day that the N64 produces better GFX than a Quad-SLI Titan powered pc.
Who knows. I'm thinking that Microsoft is going to end the "Windows Media Extender" chapter.
It doesn't sound like they are planning to bring it in.
Since it wasn't supported by the PS3 either (based mkv2vob!) I wouldn't count on it. Especially not after this news, they'll want to support their own video services after all...
Xbox Music gives you access to millions of songs to stream for free with Windows 8 and on the web at music.xbox.com. Search for any artist, song, or full album and instantly play what you want. You can even create and save playlists for easy access to the songs you love.
Stream for free now

What's weird is what about game soundtracks that come with pre orders like the Last of Us. Are they killing that completely on PS4?
Xbox Music is a service that can run in a browser and play whatever you want for free, and if your browser has an ad blocker you get no commercials.
It's this. This will do far more damage to their rep compared to the minimal amount of people willing to sign up for yet another music streaming service.

No no no its okay guys.
Sony understands through our super vocal expression against additional media capabilities that not a single one of us cares about media functionality and that it's pointless adding any of it.
We only buy these things for the games anyway.
/brutally ironic sarcasm
No MP3 play back? I don't even know if I'll believe this till I see it tbh....it doesn't make any sense at all.
And no DLNA?? Again, I don't see how or why.
I feel like this is something I actually need to see actually happening before I believe it.
Didn't even know this....*installing adblocker*

Wow, what a mess, playing MP3s from my 360 and then from the PS3 later in the gen was one of my favorite features, especially when throwing parties or having people over. It was nice and easy to use so that anyone (even those who weren't gamers) could pick tracks/playlists.
No support for DLNA is unforgivable, PS3 Media Server was a godsend for the PS3 and one of the reasons why my PS3 still got so much use during the dry spells.

It would have cost them nothing to include MP3/DLNA.

Touchy.
I play music through my speakers and listen to the game through my TV.
I'm sorry if that's not good enough for you, your highness, but i was just stating what works for me. Now off you go to your ivory tower.
get that shit out of here

I think that we are creating the idea that they are not going to build a media player of any kind. But, in the absence of a statement otherwise why not assume the worst?

I actually think that might be the reason, though.
There's enough complaints, so they deliberately leave a void for app developers to fill, and 'boom'. You now have a market for apps, people wanting them, and developers making them.
Which one of you is this?
lol
"taking down systemwars"
Oh fuck I'm in tears haha
Well they are hiding it behind a paywall. ..
Aside from that, there were those who were saying the outrage was useless and would fall upon deaf ears, we see how that went.
Moral of the story? Don't be a defeatist ass apologist.

I might have cared before chromecast, but now that I have a chromecast I usually use it for netflix and music.
It's probably the only second screen experience I've used that's actually an improvement too.
Also, aren't tvs all smart now anyway, no box required?

Okay, it seems to play games well. but these new consoles are simply consumer boxes.
They're trying to take the good of PC gaming, but mar it with horrible practices, like activation limits, no compatibility with previous account downloads, games are stupidly expensive compared to on PC, physical product, but necessary installs and constant patches anyway..
Wii U has a lot of that bull, but I'm expecting it'll still scratch that Nintendo itch.. Super Mario 3D World looks like a blast. PS4 and Xbox exclusives don't impress, so why buy them?

music unlimited is trying to take the music streaming space over spotify. that's like hoping amazon would use paypal.
That is nuts..
MS: "Want unlimited access to all the music you love?"
me: Yes!
MS "Pay us 10 bucks a month for access!"
me: FUCK YOU

Still do.
To be fair, custom soundtrack on the PS3 were at the behest of the developer. They weren't system wide like the 360.
Absolutely.

I don't really want to pay but the sensitive nature of things in the pre-launch period causes a big stir over news than it should be. Why do you think we had an over 500 post thread over just backgrounds?

Can it even play MP4's and avi's?
Here's the PS3 updates

DLNA was added 6 months later. I really hope this bites them in the ass if they're just trying for a cash grab.

I haven't played MP3's on my PS3 a single time but I guess it's a bummer for people. Also it's pretty weird.
I wonder if we can access Xbox Music through the PS4 browser to play music on PS4 for free. That would be ironic.

They're music services you pay to use so you can listen to music you've already purchased elsewhere. It's a swell deal. I mean, who has a digital music collection of their own these days?
this should be good
WTH...

"pay a monthly or yearly subscription fee" ≠ "for free"
I already own a shit-ton of music, I shouldn't need to pay into a subscription service to access what I already own simply because Sony/MS wants to re-monetize the music industry. Its 100% bullshit.
