Unsurprisingly, Microsoft has announced that Xbox One is DLNA-compatible. Sony recently revealed that PS4 will be lacking many media capabilities at launch, including support for MP3 and audio CD playback. Being the "all in one entertainment" box, Xbox One does support these formats, albeit with a few caveats.
MP3 playback is not natively supported out of the box either, according to The PA Report. However, you will be able to stream music from a Play To device running Windows 7, 8, or Windows Phone. You can also run Xbox Music Pass, a similar service to Sony's Music Unlimited.
You'll also be able to listen to music from audio CDs, something PS4 doesn't support either for some reason.

So no MP3 support except by having your Windows PC pre-convert to WMA and stream.
Look Microsoft, I know you want to have a competitive viable media format and all, but MP3 won the title of "most used format" almost 10 years ago and isn't going to let go of it any time soon. Nobody's going to reconvert all their existing MP3s to WMA or whatever it is that you're calling it now.
Stop trying to make WMA happen. It's not going to happen. -

This is what I was thinking. That all of these decisions for both MS and Sony were all about the license fees. And after the media capabilities of the last gen you just know the fees jumped for the next gen. So, to get the price down as much as possible I bet Sony cut the majority of licenses to the very bare minimum needed. MS did the same thing, but had a higher minimum for what they wanted the machine to be.

Silliness.
I guess anyone who still listens to CD's has ps1 or 2 or something else hanging around to do that. Laptops won't do it anymore, most of those ditched their optical drives.
But this no MP3 thing is crazy. I mean, it totally throws out the ability to make custom soundtracks, or to even store a personal music collection on your system. I guess it's possible that the Pandora/Spotify crowd is an even bigger majority than I realize. -
So what does this mean for custom entrance music in WWE games..
I like to use created wrestlers from my generation with their old theme songs.. if I can't do that. Then I won't be buying those games anymore I guess.. Seriously, that's a HUGE deal breaker right there for those games. :( -
