Steam Music pour tous

Steam Music, le lecteur musical intégré au client Steam, est désormais accessible en dehors du mode Big Picture pour tous.

Il suffit au préalable de le paramétrer depuis le menu Paramètres puis dans l'item Musique pour indiquer le ou les dossiers contenant vos précieux MP3 qui seront alors scannés.

Pour le moment, et c'est bien dommage, aucun autre format de fichier n'est supporté et il n'y a aucun lien avec les services de streaming les plus courants tels que Deezer ou Spotify. Néanmoins, cela reste pratique pour écouter de la musique facilement en cours de jeu sans devoir basculer sur votre bureau et il n'est pas exclu que le streaming soit intégré via des partenariats entre Valve et les acteurs majeurs de la musique en ligne.
