For the longest time I've been wondering what this Qriocity thing was on my PSP. Whenever I go there it just says I can visit the web page to download the software, but the software isn't available yet. Well now I found my answer.sorta. Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity is now available in the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand and s available on several media devices, including the PS3, select blu-ray players, Bravia TVs, and computers. The video below shows what the software can do, including taking music from your PC and adding it to a playlist that you can listen to on said devices. Unfortunately it's not available on the PSP yet but hopefully that'll come later down the road.

When I went to the website listed below in the official press release I got a page saying the service is unavailable in my country or region (which is the U.S.), so I'm hoping it's just a technical issue or the service isn't quite up yet, but I'm hoping it's up and running soon as I'd love to check this out. Users can play music any time through 'Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity' on a wide variety of Internet-connected Sony devices including Sony's 2010 and 2011 models of network-enabled BRAVIA® TV, Blu-ray Disc™ player, Blu-ray Disc Home Theater system, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system as well as VAIO and other personal computers. All existing PlayStation 3 computer entertainment systems in these countries will have access to the service. It will also become available on a wide range of Sony's portable devices, as well as on Sony and third-party Android-based mobile devices and other portable devices. 'As we expand 'Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity' around the globe, it signifies a paradigm shift which redefines the existing music listening experience by revolutionizing music access, discovery, integration and personalization,' said Kazuo Hirai, President of Networked Products & Services Group, Sony Corporation. 'Through Sony's high quality network-enabled devices, we are focused on delivering dynamic services 'powered by Qriocity' to offer global customers with compelling digital entertainment propositions.' 'We are very supportive of a cloud‑based music service such as Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity – it's about consumer convenience and access to all the music you want from all the devices you have,' said Thomas Hesse, President of Global Digital Business, U.S. Sales and Corporate Strategy at Sony Music Entertainment. 'It starts with the living room, which has really been underserved in terms of digital music.

There has not been much innovation in the living room, yet that's where more than 70 percent of consumers say they listen to music. Sony has a unique position in the living room, with its PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, for example, connected to the Internet, televisions, and surround sound systems in millions of living rooms around the globe.' 'When we look at U.S. Consumers, we see a large segment that we characterize as 'lean back' who are frequent listeners to terrestrial radio and listen to more than 20 hours of music a week. This is a very committed and engaged segment that loves music. They will be reached in the digital living room before they would be reached through the current digital music offerings,' said Michael Nash, Executive Vice President of Digital Strategy and Business Development at Warner Music Group. 'Sony has listened to the consumer and has devised a service that is very well targeted to this marketplace opportunity.' 'The expansion of Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity into the US and Australasia provides a great opportunity to grow the digital music market further in both regions,' said Mark Piibe, Executive Vice President - Global Business Development at EMI Music.
