PlayStation®3 General Discussion

I know my 360 can play music in background, while im playing my games via the consoles music player.

Not sure how to do this on my ps3, not sure if its even possible. i tried playing music via the music tab, then when i went to game the music stopped as soon as i started the game.

Is it possible to play your own tracks via the console?

Only if the game is written to support that feature. It is a relatively recent (read: a few years) addition to the PS3 firmware, and not all games support the option.

[Maverick-John]

So its game based. That sucks

[iLythium]

Unfortunately so.

There's always the option to have music playing from another source whilst gaming however, if the game you're playing does not support this.

True but my ps3 is connected to a 6. surround sound.... its no comparison when having the sound surround you.
