Spotify is coming to PlayStation and Xperia devices in a partnership with Sony to create a service dubbed PlayStation Music. This is good news for PlayStation gamers saddled with the only available music source for PS4; Sony’s own second-rate Music Unlimited. The first big partnership between a streaming music service and a console could mark the beginning of the console realizing its potential as a more open media platform rather than simply a game console that doubles as a Sony-only media store. Fellow Playstation owners please let us know what you think about this in our forum.

In not so real, time, and not on twitter, what I think is best described by the now ubiquitous and universal statement of "Meh.".

Lossy = :eek:


On Amazon, and in used record/CD shops, and with a little patience everything, even out-of-press stuff can be purchased for a decent price. Hi-Res downloads are starting to gain traction and mass-appeal, on storage is now sufficiently cheap for it to be another good solution, specially with devices with real network share access like recent Oppo BDPs, Samsung BPDs and WD TV Live players. Yes, these all have DLNA, but you don't have to limit yourself to it for network access, which means you don't need to fiddle with discography-messing DLNA server/media players that hijack, rename, re-tag and re-organize your files.).

That said, as long as I can get hard copy, either Vinyl record or optical disc, I will choose those. when I digitize files and use digital access, I do it on my own terms, and refuse to sacrifice quality to lossy CODECs.



Just my 2 cents.
