A new update for Steam Music has been rolled out that will bring a more cohesive experience to your music listening. If you purchased or own any game soundtrack and still have that game installed through Steam, the soundtrack will now automatically be added to your Steam Music Library.
This is just one of the new features and changes in the latest Steam beta client update that was pushed out a short time ago today. The full list of changes can be found below.
