If you like listening to your own music while gaming, you should update to the latest version of Steam now. Beyond getting a refreshed home page<\/a> with customized recommendations, the Steam update includes a music player<\/strong> that allows you to control your own tunes from inside any game.<\/p>\n

Steam Music Player will automatically find music<\/strong> in your Music folder but you can specify other folders if you keep your music elsewhere. To do this, head over to the settings and Music section on the left navigation column. You can add or remove folders and adjust options like scanning your library on startup and looking for soundtracks purchased using Steam.<\/p>\n

To pull up the Steam Music Player in game, use the same shortcut (Shift + Tab<\/strong>) as the Steam overlay and you’ll see it. You can queue up tracks or create playlists, all without leaving your game.<\/p>\n

Your music will automatically pause<\/strong> when voice chat is activated so you don’t miss out on your conversation.<\/p>\n
