Death to Music Unlimited, Life to Spotify

Sony seems to still be having a hard time selling anything not named PlayStation 4.  In their latest move, they have decided to shut down the Music Unlimited service (guess it was limited after all) in favor of an alliance with the popular music service Spotify.

The new service will launch on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 first, and then follow suit Xperia smartphones and tablets.  One of the awesome features for the PlayStation 4 version is that you will be able to listen to Spotify while you play any game, which virtual lets you be in charge of any titles soundtrack.

Below is how the switch will be handled:

Prior to the launch of Spotify on PlayStation Music, the Music Unlimited service will close in all 19 countries on March 29, 2015. Nearly all of these countries will be among the 41 markets where PlayStation Music featuring Spotify will be available at launch, including the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Brazil. From February 28, 2015, Music Unlimited users with active subscriptions will receive up to 30 days of free access through March 29, 2015.

Are you happy with the switch or are you an angry Music Unlimited subscriber?  Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below.
