He later told Giant Bomb that he and the PS4 development team &#8220;didn&#8217;t really think about MP3 and CD,&#8221; and that he was surprised by the passionate fan reaction to the announcement of its absence. Some had speculated that the removal of the features was a ploy to force users to sign up to Sony&#8217;s Music Unlimited service. Yoshida denied the accusation, and was supported by Sony&#8217;s director of music services Anu Kirk, who said in an interview with Polygon that his brief for Music Unlimited &#8220;was to just make the best music app available for the PS4.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Yoshida, the PS4&#8217;s &#8220;system guys&#8221; are currently working out when they can add CD and MP3 playback to the new console. It won&#8217;t arrive in time for launch in North America this week, but given the vocal threats of canceled pre-orders and Sony&#8217;s swift reaction to the backlash, it&#8217;ll likely arrive in one of the earliest updates to the machine.<\/p>\n<p>Source: The Verge<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sony recently announced that unlike the PlayStation 3, its PlayStation 4 would not be able&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3770","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3770","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3770"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3770\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
