Would love to see this.

ZamagnaxD  |  March 17th, 2010 at 4:39 pm

It would be nice, but please, no popular pop or rapg songs, it would be nice sony bringing us more diversity, japanese music owns, it would be great a little more marketing on the ocident, or underground bands …

hellgun87  |  March 17th, 2010 at 5:17 pm

Would love to see this happen. The music section has been ignored long enough.

Xu_Davella  |  March 17th, 2010 at 5:43 pm

ohhhh yes please!! I don’t like VidZone anymore, it takes too long to load. Plus I want to listen to the music without that application running.

e_boy07  |  March 17th, 2010 at 6:34 pm

i agree that would be good to see, but they should add game music themes as well.. like MGS3 or GOW etc, and be able to play it in other games..

LockyGeisha  |  March 17th, 2010 at 7:26 pm

And it should be worldwide, i want to buy

FaSeCeX  |  March 17th, 2010 at 8:14 pm

would be nice to see but u do know that there are sites out there whr u can just download the music in mp3…for free…from ur ps3…to ur ps3 hdd

TheRealGunegune  |  March 17th, 2010 at 8:42 pm

I think selling a lossless sound file (like FLAC) for the same price as a lossy MP3 would really put it above the competition.

The option to convert it to MP3 or another audio format for use in a portable device (PSP, Walkman, etc.) could be given to the customer, just as they would convert any CD.

zachattackary  |  March 17th, 2010 at 9:43 pm

There is some music available on PSN already

SillyHatMafia  |  March 17th, 2010 at 10:22 pm

Bring back Sony Connect! I used that with the PSP way back in 2004 with that program SonicStage.

Shinzo  |  March 17th, 2010 at 11:20 pm

This idea could work extremly well if they made the store content the same internationally.
For example at present, if you want to get the latest digital single by a niche Japanese artist the music store in your region should still have the item available for purchase. If Sony could get through the legal requirements for this, they would totally dominate Apple and Amazon.

tomstockmail  |  March 18th, 2010 at 3:10 am

MP3, at LEAST 256kbps and no DRM. Or V0. Or V2. But no less than 256. Let the user set it in preferences as some people like to use smaller files because of ipod space. But I like my songs to be big. Not FLAC big, but big. I enjoy quality, it’s why I buy PlayStation.

LoganIII  |  March 18th, 2010 at 1:17 pm

Ur stupid! go to the http://www.beemp3.com from the PS3 e download your mp3s for FREE!

johndrinkwater  |  March 18th, 2010 at 3:41 pm

Flac please. Maybe some Ogg too.
PS3 has the power to sleep through playing FLAC, so why not…

POWNU2DEATH  |  March 18th, 2010 at 7:53 pm

i love this i dea i was in fact shocked to see that it didnt have one when i got my go
i relly hope this surfaces but i dont want them to ditch you being able to upload music from a pc

khamvongsa09  |  March 18th, 2010 at 8:08 pm

YES!!!! This would be a great idea.. Work with SME (Sony Music Entertainment)!! I’m sure they will be very happy to hear this idea.. More income for Sony and a music store for users is a win win..

HIGHESTofTHEMALL  |  March 19th, 2010 at 9:32 am

Being that SONY has a music division, you would think this would have happend a long time ago. Also allow it to download/buy music in other regions by picking the rgion to shop. This would bring greater and diverse sales.

bitcloudrzr  |  March 19th, 2010 at 9:49 am

It has to be at least 256k AAC, if the store were to go 320k AAC that would be even better.

Electrox3d  |  March 19th, 2010 at 1:28 pm

I remember seeing a “demo” of what the PSN store would be like at E3 years ago and it was ALL music downloads! haha, they still haven’t done that yet.

Pirate43  |  March 19th, 2010 at 9:34 pm

as wonderful as this would be… i just don’t see it happening. I am all for it, however.

quiomar01  |  March 20th, 2010 at 8:23 pm

I wish it were so. I wonder what the holdup is? If anything start with the a section for game soundtrack. Move the Heavy Rain and Pixeljunk Eden music there and bring in all other first-party soundtracks in that section.

perradise  |  March 20th, 2010 at 8:29 pm

My vote is for FLAC.

Omen_20  |  March 20th, 2010 at 9:05 pm

I’d rather see a partnership with AmazonMP3. Sony has done very well with the video store but partnerships could make PS3 a media platform.

Phair  |  March 22nd, 2010 at 11:04 pm

Im down for the idea but no MP3 format. WMA or wave, or since its Sony bring the ATRAC formats.

maninashed  |  April 6th, 2010 at 11:13 am

LMAO, Sony is all about DRM you’ve got no chance.

BalramRules  |  April 13th, 2010 at 10:56 am

Why ask for a music store, when you can just ask for VidZone?

c-loc-11th  |  April 30th, 2010 at 9:22 pm

this idea is cool and it shouldn’t be ignored. “Please vote for this Idea!!!”

michaelochs  |  May 21st, 2010 at 8:54 am

that would be amazing mag, mw2, waw, kz2, lbp.

AnthonyTonyMagic  |  July 27th, 2010 at 7:59 am

Please do this as soon as possible

Right now the music section on the Hong Kong PS Store has two titles… not one but TWO!

Sony Music has one of the largest music catalogues in the world, and they don’t want to sell it too us… it’s ridiculously bad business

Adivinis  |  August 24th, 2010 at 6:06 pm

THIS IS A MUST!!!! we allready have video and comics….so a music store will keep adding to “..it only does everything”

Istyle318  |  September 1st, 2010 at 1:17 pm

Sony what are you waiting on please do this. This will make me buy a psp or psp Go you know you would make a killing off of memory stick cause we would buy 16gb memory stick duos, psp go would work with any car radio to stream the music to the car and you can see the artist name/track/ album of any song that is playing. Please make this happen and 10 a month for playstation plus member (hint hint)and also videos. there’s no great video channel, always have to go to youtube from myps3 to look at the music videos, but hey one thing at a time. but please make this work we need this music store it would put the itunes, and amazon to shame. i know sony own a record label anyway. this will officially make it does everything

ZACKMANZE  |  September 8th, 2010 at 12:15 am

Or just integrate iTunes?

kaplag08  |  December 16th, 2010 at 10:03 pm

omg my brain hurts from thinking about how stupid this “idea” is. Why would you want this, really?

sony please remove this idea for the attempted murder of my mind.

sklacer33  |  January 11th, 2011 at 9:00 am

Sony definitely needs to enhance the store with convenient music. PSP could better compete with iPod touch this way.
I agree with previous comments about partnering with amazon or other online music providers (preferably multiple venders) so users can shop around.

Wolf2482  |  January 13th, 2011 at 7:02 pm

It would be great to be able to buy music straight from the psn store to my psp.

Raven_Rainstorm  |  March 3rd, 2011 at 9:38 pm

I’m putting my vote in for AAC/AAC+/ATRAC or FLAC in a mp4 container. It would be great to see a lot of Japanese songs in the store and can’t forgot to have a way to preview the songs before buying.

mrlenard12  |  March 15th, 2011 at 7:20 pm

There is a music section on the Psn it’s in media on psp’s psn but there are only 19 songs and there all Fromm 2005 and 2006

Shadow_Dancer  |  September 8th, 2011 at 6:37 am

Yeah, there should be a separate Music Section in the Store where you can download music like ITunes to your MP3 Player/Phone etc. I also would like to add TV Shows to this as well.
