The Spotify Car Thing cost $100, but I can't use it anymore.

airportline@lemmy.ml to Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world – 1235 points –

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.

Those I don't fault. Sirius has satellites to maintain and they don't get ad revenue.

GPS makers, well making maps on that scale is very expensive. Not everyone can be google and give it away to end consumers by harvesting user data and selling ads to businessplaces.

Spotify though, fair enough to charge for the hardware but once bought should work with the ad-supported version of their product....

The hardware is free for subscribers...

If you buy it outright it tells you that you need a subscription.
