Sony discussing MP3, CD playback in PS4 after surprising fan feedback
"The biggest surprise for us all internally at Sony was there are so many people who passionately reacted to our announcement that there's no MP3 support or CD support on day one," Yoshida said on Giant Bomb's Interview Dumptruck, caught by Eurogamer. "It's not like we actively decided, 'Let's not do this feature so people will have to subscribe to Music Unlimited. The focus has been more on the game features. Some of the features we wanted but we couldn't get in on day one."
The PS4 team in Japan is figuring out the best way to implement the missing media features, Yoshida said: "We didn't really think about MP3 or CD. We thought, 'We're going to do that eventually ....' It caught us off-guard. People don't really talk about these features, right? Some people get really mad and [say,] 'I'll cancel my pre-order!' So as we speak, people in Japan – the system guys – are discussing when we can put these features in."

I'm sorry but no one uses CD's or Mp3 on consoles anymore...don't then someone reply that you do because it isn't worth implementing it for the 5 people that will use it.

Sony made fun of Microsoft for doing a 180, it's only fair.
the whole thing is all ridiculous. i hope both systems keep getting better. it pushes the other one to attempt to do even better. i hope they just dont start to get lazy and just start throwing a bunch of features in, that are half-assed or worthless.

What I don't get is how they didn't have time to implement these features already, especially if the console was made just for gaming. I mean Microsoft built their console around gaming but with multiple other aspects such as TV, Snap chat, and much more yet they still had time to put these components in....... I'm getting my own ps4 in a while and I'm getting the xbox one at launch to me this is kind of sad on sony's end

I'm not too bothered about whether it will support it from day one, but the imperssion I got from it was that it wouldn't be allowd at all, at least they cleared that up I guess.
