Now it’s easy to listen to your music collection while you play games on Steam.

Point Steam to the MP3s on your computer, then browse your collection of albums and artists. You’ll also find your Steam Soundtracks DLC in your Steam Music library when the associated base game is installed. Listen to albums, queue up mixes, and create playlists you love, right in your Steam library. Best of all, it’s all available right within the Steam Overlay, so you can control playback without leaving your game. The Steam Music library and player consist of all the basics you need to enjoy your music without switching tasks.

To celebrate the release of the Steam Music, the following Valve soundtracks DLC are now available for free to those who own the related base games and documentary. In addition, the following Valve games are on sale for 75% off.*

    Just tried it out. It needs a few more features to be useable in my opinion. The creation of playlists is not that good mainly.

    Specs:
    i7 930 @ 3.6
    Patriot Inferno 60gb SSD
    Spinpoint F3 1tb HDD
    ASUS SaberTooth X58
    EVGA GTX GeForce 760 SC 4gb 
    ANTEC 750 WATT PSU
    KINGSTON HYPER-X 1600mhz 3x4 gb

    I don't even keep music on my computer anymore. This doesn't really help me much .

    This doesn't exactly compete with the likes of Foobar2000.

    I thought it was pretty decent for just playing some music during a game. Keeps me from having to open another program for it.

    I use an Apple Classic, so the Steam music app is useless at best
    better that Steam sticks to gaming

    I'll stick to Amazon's music program and app. I swear Valve is trying too damn hard with Steam at making it do everything at once. What do they think they are? Microsoft? Apple? Google even?

    Could be that they are trying to come up with some other features to pad SteamOS and for the Steam boxes.
