Good morning PS Blog loyalists! Music Unlimited here, the 18 million-song-strong behemoth wired direct to your PlayStation.
It’s been a while, but with the amount of changes coming to the service in the next 12 months (yep, we’ve heard your requests), we’re going to be posting bi-weekly from now on to keep you up to date with the many delights that are lurking around the corner.
After a sluggish January for us all, February has truly kick-started us back into gear as we excitedly announce the first of many additional features: the Game Music channel.
Available later this month, it will feature an archive of game soundtracks, from massive blockbusters to cult classics of years gone by, including Assassins Creed, Silent Hill, Prince of Persia, Final Fantasy, Castlevania and R-Type among others. Excited is an understatement.
Game Music is joined by a host of new sub-genre channels including Old School Hip-Hop, Classic Rock and New Wave amongst others, live early February.
As you know, the MU catalogue updates daily so we wanted to ask you, if you could choose a soundtrack from any game to join our new Game Music channel, what would it be?
Elsewhere, we’ve got a really busy month as we’ll be interviewing Tegan and Sara on the 8th February as well as up and coming bands Wild Swim, Duologue and the awesome Josephine on the 22nd.
If you haven’t heard them, we suggest checking them out on the service now, and if there are any questions you’d like us to ask them on your behalf, we’ll gladly put them on the spot. Apparently Duologue boast some serious PS3 prowess, and Josephine can nail a 10-hit combo on Tekken Tag Tournament 2 quicker than you can hit the Start button. We’ve been warned.

I like Music Unlimited a lot and will renew it if the price will be 12 euro for Plus members.
If it’ll be the original price I for sure won’t.
Will it stop or will the service try to renew it automaticaly. How does that work?

you can play music in the background while playing games on Vita. You just have to put MU into Offline Mode

Difficult to say at this time o2SeeKUo, but we’ll make sure we keep the PlayStation community updated with any changes (…great call on Diablo by the way!)

There is one thing missing on Music Unlimited : Browse Albums or compilation by name or release date.
Today, if you want to listen music, you are obliged to use your channels or know the name of the album or compilation, very heavy… just propose to show the list order by alphabetic or release date.
Other thing: Your TOP musics (Top 100 latino, Top 100 Dance, etc…) are not good. Sometimes i have three times the same music or very old music, not a “new” Top music ranking…

I’ve been waiting for this since I joined music unlimited earlier this year. Can’t wait to listen to some final fantasy on the go. I hope they get some of the playstation exclusive titles on there such as uncharted and killzone

So many great ideas here; all I can really add is Mega Man. The original radio stations from the Grand Theft Auto series would be cool as well.
By the way, is there any chance of integrating offline playback with the native music player on the PlayStation®3 and PlayStation®Vita, so it can be played during games?

I hope they keep releasing OST’s on the PSstore too. That reminds me, I still have to get the Unfinished swan and Journey OST’s.
