Hey Talgron, i don’t think Sony stopped supporting the PSP specifically in regards to Music Unlimited, i think they just stopped supporting Music Unlimited altogether! There are a ton of people having issues and i hear nothing about whats going on. Just keep paying for the service, enjoy your time in the darkness with the rest of us and remember to keep reading your e-mails from Sony advertising selling us about how easy, convienient, and reliable this service is.
Sony, like a lot of other companies, have only been in business how long now and this is how far customer service has moved up the evolutionary ladder. Nobody cares at the end of the day and I’d love for Jeff Safran to prove to me otherwise.
I’m curious if anybody AT Sony actually use their own service? How’s it working for you guys? Maybe that’s why nobodies doing anything cause they’re all using their iphones and ipods over on apples service.

Music Unlimited hasn’t worked on my PSP since the maintenance last month, all it ever does is say can’t connect to server. It still works on my PS3 but I liked listening to it on the PSP while playing on the PS3. If you listen to it on the PS3 your locked into it and can’t do other stuff like web browse or play a game. Did you guys drop PSP support and just didn’t bother to tell anyone?

basically how an idea like that would work is similar to how Netflix works with the online rental service, however with the option to purchase rentals you enjoyed. same for Music Unlimited, create an option for users to be able to purchase albums or songs they like, that way if a user decides the service isn’t for them after a certain timeframe and lets their sub expire, they can still enjoy the few items they found value in…almost how PS+ works in that way, if I were theorhetically to let it expire, I still have the games I downloaded, but if I wish to keep them, I would have to purchase them….just for Music and Video as well, but as a rental service with the buy option in program. once bought, the audio/video file coulld be transferred to any device of the users choosing, while Sony still wins the DRM game as files would be encoded with who the owner is, preventing pirating to a larger degree.

@Jeff Safran & Dyoxen

Same issue with the Music Unlimited Android App. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note (ICS 4.04), and since the latest update to the Google Play store, I haven’t been able to access the app. when loading, it gets to 71% and says “unable to establish a server connection, click ok to close the app now”. if I leave it, it will eventually get to 84% while still saying the same thing. the service is still working great when used through the PS3, Vita and through regular web browsers for PC/Mac, but it’s clearly not working on Android. this needs to be fixed ASAP.

also, has sony considered evolving the Video Unlimited service to be more like Music Unlimited, and offer movies on a subscription basis more like Netflix, Hulu, etc? I don’t really purchase movies through the current service, but if it were sub based like MU and it was essentially $5-$15/month, there would be a extremely good chance I would jump on it. maybe offer it to everyone for $15/month and to PS+ users for $8/month?

Can anyone provide an update as to why Music Unlimited is no longer able to connect since your last update? My HTC One X worked before the update and ever since then myself and alot of others seem to be unable to connect. I was told by Customer service you were aware of this but it’d be great if an update to this matter could be made since its been a couple weeks since i could use the service.
Sony’s done a great job with offering a cheap entry point to the service through the Playstation Plus membership in order to build your user base up BUT you not only need to worry about attracting new customers you really should be equally focused on retaining your current customers. It’s the only way to really grow as a bussiness afterall. Time’s running out for me and if i’m not happy when my sub runs out then i can tell you now youve lost me as a customer and i’ll gladly spend my money elsewhere.
Please, all i ask is for an update, something, anything from Sony telling us what’s going on and when we can expect a fix. Thanks.

I can’t believe a garbage show like Tosh.0 would get renewed. More surprised people actually watch it, for comedy central to give it a renewal.
