PlayStation and streaming music company Spotify on Wednesday announced "PlayStation Music," a new service that both companies describe as a "best-in-class digital music experience" for PlayStation Network. PlayStation Music replaces Music Unlimited, which will close on March 29, 2015

Spotify is currently available as a free, ad-supported streaming service on desktop and mobile. The company also offers a $10/month subscription that kills ads, allows offline play, and more.
