Great news today from Music Unlimited – the 18 million song streaming service wired directly to your PlayStation devices. We’ve heard your requests for more dedicated genre stations, and we’re excited to have just released the Game Music channel.
Listen to an archive of game soundtracks, from massive blockbusters to cult classics including Assassins Creed, Silent Hill, Prince of Persia, Final Fantasy and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, among others. New songs will be added weekly to keep the channel fresh with music from all the latest games.
Over the coming weeks you can look forward to thirteen additional channels for other requested genres, like Old School Hip-Hop and New Wave.
Outside of the channels, we can tell a lot of you were watching the Grammys, as there have been big bumps in plays this week for The Lumineers, Frank Ocean, Rihanna and others. The top of our charts remains a hip-hop battle between A$AP Rocky and Macklemore. If you’re not a subscriber yet, don’t miss out and sign up for a free 60 day trial. Go to the MUSIC category on the XMB Menu and select Music Unlimited, or search for us by name in the PlayStation Store.
FINALLY! Time to subscribe then. Whats the deal for Plus members again?
You finally gave me a reason to subscribe to Music Unlimited, thanks guys. Thought this was a no brainier :)
This is cool, but the service needs to be easier to browse and I’m still not seeing the price tag being worth the full price that Sony is charging for it. I’ll give it a go since PS Plus had that subscription I paid for that was cheap (honestly closer to the price I’d expect to pay for music unlimited).
In the end, configuring play lists and trying to generate a reasonable selection not just based on personal preference, but personal occasions is a pain. For instance Christmas music that would work for the family even though I listen to much harder stuff than what they’d listen too was in there.
Not seeing it on the Android version of Music Unlimited yet.
I picked up the year subscription when they were giving it away for $12 to PS Plus users. Glad I did!
Ah, never mind. Found it in the ‘Premium Channels’, not under ‘Genre’.
YES!! Thank!! this is so awesome!!!
That’s a really awesome idea! Now it’s time for Music Unlimited to be on ALL devices, (not just Sony devices), and please update the iOS version of Music Unlimited!!
Eventhough I know these are actual songs, it would be cool to have the soundtrack from the Lumines ES game. It would be nice to just listen to them without actually having to play my Vita. It’s a bit hard to jog and play at the same time. =)
I love mehsic.
I will definitely search for this. I also picked up the heavily discounted special and I think MU is great. You have a Yo Yo Ma channel! Love me some Yo Yo Ma on his Strad cello. I get to try different music genres that I normally wouldn’t so I am really appreciating this service.
@ Jeff Safran
Thanks for adding additional channels, it’s much appreciated. hopefully one of those is an ACTUAL Rock/Metal channel. The one thats there plays Katy Perry and Coldplay….those are Pop, maybe Alternative at best, but definitely not Rock or Metal.
Also, despite a fix being issued this earlier this week for the Music Unlimited Android App, it’s still experiencing the exact same issue as the prior week, where it gets to 71%, says it’s unable to establish a connection to the server, and continues to sit at 84%. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note (ICS 4.0.4). the service works great on PS3, Vita, and PC web browser, but the Andoid app just won’t work. I’ve even tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and it still stops at 71%. Two Andoid App updates prior, it worked great and I used it almost everyday. I would love to use it on my cellphone again, and soon. maybe go back two updates if you have to, I’d be fine with that, just make it work again.
Hi DaGimp13. There is a dedicated Metal channel in the “Genre” section. I am sure you are referencing the Rock/Metal Top 100 channel in the Premium section. That channel is admittedly broad and covers a large spectrum. The Metal channel should be more of what you are looking for. Apologies on the Android app issue. We are working very hard to solve the problem and are keeping users updated.
