    PS4 doesn't read MP3s --> No custom sounds for next gen?

    Will I be able to play background music while I play PS4 games?
    Yes, the Music Unlimited streaming service will allow you to listen to music while you play PS4 games. A subscription to Music Unlimited is required. Get full details here.

    Does PS4 include a music visualizer feature?
    No.

    Will I be able to play MP3s on the PS4 system?
    No.

    That might be why 2K didn't announce the feature for next gen. Big disappointment for me if it gets to be confirmed.

    I am ignorant in this regard. Does that mean I wouldn't be able to play my ipod through my Playstation 4?

      Just read this, I was also extremely disappointed. There will most likely be no custom music.

            Most likely, since MP3s won't be supported, and they're allowing us to stream music while we play from the music app that comes with the system.

                You can stream music thats available on the Music Unlimited service but not your music. This is completely stupid on Sony's part. This also affects games like The Show which people use (including me) custom sounds in.

                  Why would this be so? I feel as though connecting a usb or ipod device would be second nature for gaming systems these days.

                    They want to force people to sign up for Music Unlimited,

                      It's a money grab by Sony, and it's pathetic. Hopefully with enough backlash, they'll add the feature through a firmware update.

                        I hear a firmware update would be all that's necessary to allow for mp3 playback and the ripping of audio CD's. Make noise to Sony...maybe they will update it eventually.

                        Edit: ^^^ Beat me to it.

                          That's tough. Custom sounds definitely add to the experience, and its gonna suck not having that on PS4.

                          But with that said, it isn't a complete deal breaker for me.
