Potentially good news on the PS4 MP3 playback and DLNA support front

Just don't raise your hopes up. There's a reason why neither was implemented in the PS4, and that reason is trying to milk more money with Sony's own media services.

I'm happy I didn't use either much.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious this was a money grab for Music Unlimited.  I didn't use MP3 playback much because most games didn't support it.  Background music playback wasn't enabled at the OS level, it had to be enabled at the game level.  Gran Turismo 5 comes to mind as one that implemented it.

Uhuh. I guess that's why I didn't use it in many titles, though after a while, all my Wipeout HD music was custom

Wonder if ANYTHING comes of it. If not DLNA, then at least .mp3 support should be there, you don't wanna piss people off.
