Sony have announced PlayStation Music and has signed up internet giant Spotify as the exclusive partner.
The service will launch in 41 territories and will allow you to link your PlayStation account with your Spotify account. You will also be able to use Spotify while playing games on PS4, enabling you to create custom soundtracks.
Before the launch of the new service the existing Music Unlimited subscription service will close on 29th March 2015. Sony say that “nearly all of these countries” will be included in the 41 markets where PlayStation Music will be available at launch, including the UK, France, Germany, Spain and Italy.
The new service will launch initially on PS4 and PS3, as well as Xperia smartphones and tablets, presumably a PlayStation Vita app will follow in due course. Sony also tease that “other great features will be available exclusively through Spotify on PlayStation Music.”
I think I’ve used Spotify about twice in my life, but that’s because I have such a large personal collection of music from Djing for years, but I may sign up now the service on PlayStation, will you be using it?

Given that Sony are discontinuing Maps/YouTube apps on the Vita I wouldn’t be surprised if this DOESN’T come to Vita.

Good news for me, I use spotify daily so being able to use it while playing games is a bonus. I definitely think ps plus subscribers should get a spotify discount though.

I know it’s unlikely that anybody will, but does anybody know whether you can stream music whilst in game and also have in game sound effects at the same time?
