Sony Music Unlimited gets quick controls and in-game playback on PS4

Sony Music Unlimited

We knew that Sony’s Music Unlimited would be available on the PlayStation 4 on day one. What we didn’t know, was that the company would be bringing a number of much-requested features to the streaming music app on its next-gen console. For one, you’ll finally be able to listen to music while you play games — a feature that was not only much-requested, but its absence was something of a head-scratcher. There are also new quick controls, which you can bring up by hitting the PS Home button, no matter where you are in the UI. So, even if you’re not actually in the Music Unlimited app, you’ll still be able to skip and pause tracks with just a couple of quick button presses.

When online, you’ll have the option of switching on high-quality streaming of 320 Kbps AAC files — just remember to keep an eye on how much data you’re gobbling up. Lastly, version 1.3.1 also includes a new tray-style global menu. To check out the new features for yourself, download the app at the source link below.

Sony Music Unlimited for iOS gains offline mode, 320 Kbps streams

Sony Music Unlimited is still a relative newbie on the iOS scene, but users will soon find a new revision that brings high-quality streaming and offline playback to the fold. According to Sony, version 1.3 of Music Unlimited for iOS is just around the bend, which will bring the ability to download entire albums or single tracks that can later be accessed within the app’s offline mode. Also new in the latest update, you’ll find high-quality streaming of 320 Kbps AAC files, which can be enabled in the app’s settings. Sadly, you can’t download high-quality files for offline playback, but at least iOS users can take solace in parity with the Android version.
