Xbox One plays CDs, MP3s and is DLNA compatible




Xbox-One-E3

A recently published FAQ webpage from Sony revealed that the PlayStation 4 will not feature DLNA support or playback for audio CDs and MP3s. This news caused quite a ruckus and prompted us to find out if the Xbox One would ship without these features in tow. We reached out to Microsoft about this matter and here’s what a company spokesperson had to say:

Xbox One supports audio CD playback. Xbox One is DLNA compatible and we are working to get certified. For MP3s, Xbox One is a PlayTo receiver, so you can stream content from PlayTo supported devices like Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and many Windows Phones. Xbox Music will also deliver unlimited ad-free music through a Xbox Music Pass subscription.

Not being able to listen to CDs and MP3s on a game console might not be a deal breaker for some, however the lack of DLNA support definitely could be. PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida has recently stated on Twitter that he’d discuss these items with the PS4 dev team, but Sony has yet to announce plans to support these missing features.
