EDIT: The only reason why I still had it at this point was because I could use it with other apps. However, now that my Spotify Subscription is cancelled, it doesn’t work with anything. It’s mildly infuriating because today, I can’t still use it with other apps like I was able to yesterday.
Please don’t make the same mistake I made. No one should buy this.
About a year ago, maybe two years ago? Spotify started sending me feedback requests about the “Car Thing.” I was super confused about why anyone would buy something they could just use their phone for, and I finally caved and sent some feedback saying “I already have my phone, I don’t want more devices in my car. This is a bad idea.” And the requests stopped.
Guess they went through with it. Makes no sense to me. I use Spotify everyday, often for most of the day, I really have no issue with what I’m paying for, but that “Car Thing” just seemed like the most braindread venture.
Just my $.02
I think it’s selling point is supposed to be voice commands and haptic controls (actual knob and what not). The interface does look like it’d be superior to the phone (at least a non-android auto or whatever Apple’s is called) though I dunno if it’s $100 superior.
Apple carplay btw.
But my car has a volume knob
Pretty odd to think that’s only for volume.
Your phone has a speaker, just use that to listen to music in the car.
