Valve has launched the Steam Music Player, which the company promises will make it easier to listen to your favourite music while playing your games on the online platform.
Not only can you play the soundtracks you download and purchase from Steam itself, you can also show Steam your favourite batch of MP3s on your computer and play them while you game.
“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,” said Valve.
To mark the release of the Steam Music Player, Valve has discounted a bunch of soundtrack DLC and the following games:
- 75% off Half-Life – Free Soundtrack DLC
- 75% off Half-Life Two – Free Soundtrack DLC
- 75% off Half-Life Two: Episode One – Free Soundtrack DLC
- 75% off Half-Life Two: Episode Two – Free Soundtrack DLC
- 75% off Portal – Free Soundtrack DLC
- 75% off Portal 2 – Free Soundtrack DLC
- Free to Play – Free Soundtrack DLC
