Steam Music Player available for all
The Steam Music Player is out now for all users, following a beta that launched in February. Steam Music integrates your own music library into the Steam Overlay and collects soundtracks that come with some games, and makes all of this accessible without having to leave Steam or your game at all. You'll never have to leave Steam again. Steam is your home now. One of us. One of us. To celebrate the official public launch of Steam Music, a lineup of soundtracks for Valve games are free to anyone who already owns the base products. Included in the offer are the soundtracks for Half-Life, Portal, their sequels, and Free to Play, a documentary about pro Dota 2 players. That film and the Valve games themselves are also on sale, up to 75 percent off through October 1. [Image: Valve]
Steam Music limited beta coming to SteamOS soon
Valve's Steam Music beta will arrive soon for SteamOS users. The service is a new addition to the platform just announced last week, enabling players to listen to local music files from within the Steam client while playing games. To enter the closed beta, fans will need to join the Steam Music community in hopes of being randomly selected. Valve says beta testers will be "invited in waves" until the feature goes live in full for all players/listeners. The company announced SteamOS in September along with its upcoming Steam Machines and Steam Controller hardware. In mid-January, Valve revealed its ambitions to provide music and video services before launching Steam Machines. We went hands-on with the beta version of the hardware last month and were intrigued by it, even if the Steam Machines term is "nonsense." [Image: Valve]
