What the hell?

Is it the same with everyone else?

works fine fot me

you may be doing it wrong.
Start playing the music
then press the PS button to back out to the xmb and go from there.

you cannot begin playing the music and back out onto the xmb by pressing circle or it will stop the music.

Everytime I play a song then hit the PS button it ask if I want to quit playback? if I say yes the song shuts off if I say no it stays on the visual player.

I never changed anything it seems weird that it all of a sudden is doing this?

Like KylieDog said, you can, but you need to change your setting to 48khz.  You can find that setting at your music settings.

you've got ur music on the wrong hz, which 3.0 made non-compatible with playing music in the bkgrnd, just change it in the settings like other people have said. this topic has already been raised a couple of weeks ago now

This. They disabled the multitasking option with 44.whatever. You have to switch it to 48khz.

I thought it was silly... I want a reason from SONY!!! NOA!!

Whats the difference in the frequencies anyway?

^Alright thanks abunch everyone I'll go give it a try

Once again VG Chartz comes to the rescue :D
