Wiil USB Music Player allow for the return of SOTH?

The update will go live on 10/28, all someone has to do is check if songs from their USB show up in the music editor...

I'll be off work that day so I'll be eagerly anticipating the update and will give it a go ASAP.

Can you provide a link to this thread that Russell created, or provide directions to where it's located?

Oh man I wish this would work !

I seriously hope that this magically works already with The Show 14!

I also don't see how SOTS wouldn't be possible with USB storage as opposed to HDD storage. What should matter is that the system can recognize and play the .mp3 files; where they're stored should be trivial.

This is, at the very least, a move in the right direction! Let's hope Sony can get MP3 inclusion for '15.

I am trying to be optimistic but my money says SOTS in '14 will not recognize the USB. There is a 99.9% chance that SCEA had no idea in advance that Sony was going to create this make-shift USB player to allow '14 to play songs off of USB in this manner.

SOTS only plays songs that you put onto your hard drive and assign in the playlist creator in the game itself. Until this point, that is the only way the game will play the tracks. If you think about it, even the PS3 version of the Show wouldn't play songs off an external device like USB. They have to be copied to the HDD unfortunately.

The USB Player is going to be a separate application in itself and from what I've read, is the only thing that will be able to utilize the USB. For the life of me, I will never understand why Sony will not let us copy files to the HDD like any other device on the planet. Why go to the effort of creating the USB Player when you could have just replicated the PS3 use case.

The way I see it, the only two ways we get SOTS working in PS4 '15 is if Sony allows us to copy songs to HDD like we did with PS3 or SCEA finds a way to re-write the code to read songs for the USB. Sony needs to give us the same capabilities for music, video, DNLA like the PS3. Can't believe it has been 12 months and this is still an outstanding issue.

I'm praying there is another firmware update that will allow SOTS in '15 before SCEA closes the books on using it as a feature in this years upcoming game. Would a MP3 firmware release in January be too late for SCEA to test and include it in time for the game release?
