It will be a useful addition to those who eventually purchase a Steam machine, personally my gaming rig does not server as my music player so it's not of any real use to me. I have steam on my media PC but that runs WinAmp and I have no desire to switch from using that.

How do you mean? If it doesn't show up in your DLC list for the game, it should be added to your account upon clicking "Download" from the Soundtrack page (same with the others from their Soundtrack pages).

I recently started using Google's Play Music service to get music on my phone when needed. I still use a separate MP3 player for my car but I don't take it out unless I need to charge it.

This is interesting, I wonder if it is integrated into the mobile app as well...

It's MP3 only at the moment. All my music is in ALAC format. It's too early to say 'fail' as I'm sure other formats will be added soon enough.

If I go to 'library' then 'music' it is not listed with the others, I'll try your suggestion though and see if it works. I probably won't use the music much anyway, I just really love the ending songs from portal 1 & 2.

Needs moar codecs. Most of my music isn't shown.

Don't need to own the game or have access to Steam for that matter. It's free to download here.

I had a go with this. The experience was really crap compared to using winamp, which I normally use. I can't really see much reason to bother with this in its current state. I suppose it might be cool if it lets you control the music in game with the Steam overlay. Then again, I don't listen to music when I play games. I listen to the game Has anyone got any good reasons to use this over their normal music player? I feel like I might be missing something here..

Odd there's no music from TF2, CS GO and other valve games.
