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

airportline@lemmy.ml to Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world – 1234 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.

No need to sail them seas, but maybe still use a vpn, just on case. Fun fact i heard from a friend of a friend: Youtube starts rate limiting after 50,000 audio-only video downloads, until you have a new IP.

I am skeptical of the quality of audio on YouTube. And of full album tracks running together properly.

Am I wrong?

Im not audiophile so I scrape audio with newpipe. Downloaded and stream quality are indistinguishably satisfactory.

I've also noticed that sometimes it downloads the wrong versions of songs. While my Spotify playlist has the album version of a song, it might sometimes download a live performance audio or a reprise version.

It's free. You're getting "free" quality. Actual quality anything costs money or requires theft.
