Steam Music moves into open beta, desktop interface now available

I've spent the last few minutes prodding the Steam Music beta. You can, too:
it's now open to all who want to try it. It's, er, well basically, it's an
mp3 player. But one that you can access in-game, through the Steam overlay.
Yes, I know, not revolutionary, but there are a some reasons why it might be
useful.

steam最新測試版上了新功能Steam Music beta，雖然是陽春的mp3 player，但是能在遊
戲當中，透過steam頁面撥放mp3，還算實用。

For instance: Big Picture mode. If your PC is hooked up to a TV and a control
pad, it's a pretty convenient way to blast out some custom tunes (that's
still a thing people say, right?). And with the impending Steam Machines and
Steam Controller, it makes sense that Valve would want to offer this type of
in-app player.

舉例而言，通常使用Big Picture mode、遊戲手把時，直接使用steam開啟音樂單蠻方便
的，而且搭配即將推出的Steam Machines和Steam手把，也很方便。

Apart from that, it's a pretty basic tool. Thanks to the combination of
standalone media players and keyboard shortcuts, I doubt an integrated Steam
player was high on people's gaming wishlist. But it is early in the beta
process, and that means there may be planned features that make Steam Music a
worthwhile addition. For one thing, it's increasingly common for games to
offer soundtrack "DLC" through Steam. Currently, they're just deposited into
that game's Steam folder—but having them caught by the player would make
sense as an option.

不過，現在的功能很陽春，就只是個普通的player，但是還在BETA階段，還有進步空間，
且這項功能可能帶動遊戲出OST DLC。

And, of course, it still needs to be Valvified. It'll be interesting to see
if there are plans for weird sharing schemes, or playlist features, or any of
the other ways Valve like to use their users to enhance their features.

To try the app, head to the Steam settings and opt-in to the latest Steam
Beta Update.

要嘗試這項功能，就到遊戲設定中開啟最新測試計畫，然後靜待steam更新。

個人感想：
這項功能雖然目前看來有點雞肋，但之後倘若能完全與遊戲內音樂整合，控制遊戲音量，
讓背景音樂是隨steam music改動，在某些背景音樂不是很重要的遊戲遊玩過程能由自己
選擇，的確能讓遊戲體驗更美好。而且只按個shift+tab就叫出撥放器其實已經是個很大
的優勢了，若在功能上能更加強，搞不好之後意外的能搞大音樂市場(好吧 其實不太可
能.....XD)
