According to an announcement on the official Playstation blog, Spotify LTD and Sony are working together to create PlayStation Music. This is the first time Spotify has made its way onto any gaming platform. PlayStation Music will allow users easy access to over thirty million songs on their Playstation 3, Playstation 4, and Xperia tablets and mobile devices. Although similar to Sony's previous music streaming application, Music Unlimited, PlayStation Music includes several up to date features which were previously unavailable.

One of the most exciting new features of PlayStation Music is users will have the ability to stream music while they play. Only PlayStation 4 owners will have the ability to stream music while playing games. Sony described that linking your PlayStation account to Spotify is completely effortless. Users will have the ability to purchase Spotify Premium straight from their PSN wallet. PlayStation Music requires users to purchase a Spotify Premium membership to enjoy all of the delightful features that are included within the PlayStation Music experience. As of now, Spotify Premium is available for $10 on Mobile and Desktop devices.

Sony's original music streaming application, Music Unlimited, will be unavailable after March 29th, 2015. Sony made is clear that Music Unlimited users who purchased subscriptions as of February 28 will receive free access to PlayStation Music. PlayStation Music will be available in forty-one countries at launch. We can expect more information prior to the release date regarding transferring music to accounts. Sony has not disclosed whether PlayStation Music will be available for PlayStation plus subscribers and for PlayStation Vita users. Due to the recent announcement of Sony stopping support for Google Maps, YouTube and several other applications on the PlayStation Vita, chances of PlayStation Music making its way to the Vita are very slim. PlayStation Music will be available in late Spring 2015.

I love Spotify but it's only good on Mobile Devices & PC. I feel as on consoles, it would suck.

Even though this is true, this will (according to the articles about this) also allow Spotify music to be played during video game play. I enjoyed this on Xbox 360, while I couldn't do it on PS4 just yet, mainly because I despised Music Unlimited, but now I can actually. Well, soon, but you get it, right? :tongue:

There's only one thing I don't understand. Why are all the articles listing Xperia as a platform? Don't they run Android, allowing you to download the Spotify app anyway? Why would you need Spotify through Playstation Music on that?

Exactly same here. And in my mind when i say Spotify i get a computer image in my brain.

But, i guess some will like it though. And it's cool for those who want it on their consoles.
