'Do you put on your Apple Music in the background while playing PS4 games?', 'How do I play music on PS4 while playing a game?', 'Is it possible to listen to music from iTunes and play games at the same time?'
The PlayStation 4 (PS4) is an eighth-generation home video game console developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Hit the sweet spot on price (less than $300), tons of great games and performance, it becomes one of the most powerful consoles on the market. It's a beautiful system, with a sharp, slightly angled profile accented by a light bar that acts as a console status indicator.
Sony also offers a media player application for the PlayStation 4 console. With it, you can play videos, music and photos from a USB-connected drive or streamed from a home server. Now the problem is coming, can you enjoy your Apple Music tracks on PS4 freely? The answer is No.
