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.

Yeah, I could live without DLNA, but not having MP3 playback is a little silly.
