Steam Music limited beta coming to SteamOS soon

4.6

Valve's Steam Music beta will arrive soon for SteamOS users. The service is a new addition to the platform just announced last week, enabling players to listen to local music files from within the Steam client while playing games. To enter the closed beta, fans will need to join the Steam Music community in hopes of being randomly selected. Valve says beta testers will be "invited in waves" until the feature goes live in full for all players/listeners.

The company announced SteamOS in September along with its upcoming Steam Machines and Steam Controller hardware. In mid-January, Valve revealed its ambitions to provide music and video services before launching Steam Machines. We went hands-on with the beta version of the hardware last month and were intrigued by it, even if the Steam Machines term is "nonsense."

Finally I've been waiting for them to roll out something like this, listening to music while in iTunes or in YouTube slows me down.

Heir This will be awesome for those who don't like having to try and play music with youtube and replay it every time you are trying to game. I will definitely be checking this out.

you can download songs and alt tab then put it in a playlist or something but this is much easier to be honest.

I really do love the design of SteamOS it would be much better if more games started implementing and being created for windows and linux, I wish linux was more popular.

I will give this a shot but I still will most likely use another Music service. I think Steam is a bit too later to start something like this but I could be wrong.
