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.

Oof. I managed to dodge a bullet on this one. I preordered it,but never received it / was never charged.

I picked one up for like $5 when they were fire selling them. I've used it like 4 times.

My wife and I use ours (I bought 2) all the time. We like the voice activation from the unit and we like the interface for seeing what's playing better than we do our entertainment systems (we have used cars). It's not a slam dunk but it's good for what it does.

As I'm known for saying in my friend group....

Yay capitalism

That's so sad I really wanted one of these, shame man. I hope you can flip it or return it or something. Don't listen to the people telling you it's stupid, it's a cool idea I had my eye on it as well. Thanks for the warning

Spotify is a terrible option to use in 2023. I highly recommend Tidal for anyone with good headphones, speakers, Dac's, etc.

Honestly, I hate to say it, but even Apple music is a MUCH better solution right now.

Spotify uses 320kbps ogg vorbis when on max quality, I would be really surprised if people could tell a difference compared to lossless.

[–] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nah. Tidal's collection is nothing compared to Spotify's and I, like most people, don't have the equipment to actually benefit Tidal's higher bitrate. I don't even have any wish to upgrade, I'm happy with Spotify's quality. I listen to mostly non-English songs and let me tell you, Spotify is miles ahead of Apple Music there. For English music, I find them mostly comparable. But Spotify has a nice Linux app, so they get my money.

I have to ask, what is your issue with Spotify?

[–] NoodleStar187@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Seconding Tidal even without hi-fi because they pay artists significantly better than most services but honestly I just buy my music individually like a caveman and self-host it.

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.

That’s painful. Chargeback on credit card if Spotify doesn’t take that back.

Although why would you need something like this if you have a phone + aux cord + adapter/dongle?

Makes me really love how gorgeous and functional CarPlay is.

Yeah, when they announced this thing I saw this coming a mile away. Sucks for all the people that they scammed with it though. Unless you're somewhat paranoid like me you probably would've thought it was neat, especially if you had an older car without an infotainment system.
