So what this ultimately means for developers is that they lack the tools to do custom music easily.

The difference being that Sony does allow you to avoid paying for streaming services by allowing you to play all of your own music with the USB MP3 player. The question is can SCEA use that method for SOTS vs playing music off of copied files to the PS4 HDD like the PS3 does.
