How to unlock the Music Appreciation Award trophy

    What probably is not that obvious is that the trophy does not imply leaving the stereo turned on from the moment you do it first to reaching yesterday. The description says "Reach yesterday without turning the stereo off", so you have to do just that, really. Meaning, you can turn it on and off as many times as you like, but it had to be on just before doing a certain action.

    So, you can turn the stereo on (to proceed with the story), then turn it off immediately and still get the achievement, but only if you turn it back on just before the end of the game. I also used Bernard to do his part the very last - after Laverne and Hoagie activated their time machines already.

    Here is what I did in more detail:

    I just verified it the second time (first on Steam then on PS Vita). I think the important bit is that Bernard has to be the last character to do his part, as the very first time I played the game I didn't get this achievement, even though the stereo was on. But I did get it on both platforms (PC and PS) using the way described above.

    To unlock this trophy you must turn the stereo on before completing any of the 3 conditions required to reach yesterday (buy diamond and activate both Chron-o-Johns).

    If you try to leave it until the last possible moment (diamond purchased and Hoagie activated) it won't unlock. However you don't have to do it at the beginning of the game as some advice I've seen around the internet suggests. That would be quite annoying to play.

    After trying to do it late and failing to unlock, I went back to a save point where I had:

    *** Spoiler - click to reveal ***

    Turned the stereo on, completed the 3 conditions fairly quickly and it unlocked.

    AndiVannirJust some additional info: I just unlocked the achievement by being rather far in the game:

    So maybe you need to only activate the stereo before the contract gets signed.

    NeverwinterLuneThis is not a bad advice per se - postponing turning the stereo on as much as possible, but there is definitely an easier way. I will add it as a stand-alone solution for better visibility.
