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.

CDs skip when you hit bumps. Just use a thumb drive.

Is your deck is from a dollar store lol

You could buy portable DVD and CD players back in 2005 that would keep playing without a hitch even if you dropped them. Admittedly this was mostly down to them caching the content in RAM and spinning down to save battery power...

Is your CD deck from a dollar story.

I haven't used a CD deck in over a decade. I literally don't know how CDs would even sound in my car's deck, because it's a dead technology. I genuinely cannot believe anyone in a developed nation would still purchase a CD.

So yeah, probably?

I get ya on the dead tech but for your info skipping on bumps stopped being a limitation on cds 20 years ago

Unfortunately I was pretty poor 20 years ago or id have been super jazzed about that.

TIL tho and I appreciate ya teaching me

The only reason to purchase a CD nowadays I think is memorabilia, or to support an artist/group.. aside from that it's pretty much as you say, physical media is a dying format.

Vinyl is an outlier, but even then modern vinyl players are noticeably worse than ones manufactured several decades ago

Or a very solid way of backing up important stuff like family photos, because no burglar in their right mind would steal a DVD from your home.

That Sony S2 life.

The skip protection on those things was unbelievable, and they were built like tanks.

Mine took a spill out the back of a pickup on the freeway and kept working like a champ.
