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.

I will go back to cassettes and 8-track before I give these greedy ass companies any money.

I just tossed my headphone plug to cassette adapter for my truck because i recently updated my phone and nothing has headphone sockets anymore. luckily the bluetooth to FM transmitters have come a long way as well.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

You would be surprised at how good a cassette recorded from a vinyl album could sound.

Fuck streaming. Return to a big dumb pile of MP3s.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

FLAC or some other lossless format is better.

I cancelled my paid Spotify account because I can't get them to stop fucking recommending Joe Rogan to me.

The system working as intended. Now you're "locked in".

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Something tells me they just didn't realize someone would buy a Spotify car play without already having a subscription.

I mean really, you're too cheap for 9.99/m but you'll drop 100 bucks for something your phone already does?

Seems like OP is just in a very unique situation that Spotify didn't expect anyone to be in.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

9.99/m is 119.88/y and it doesn't stop. Maybe OP thought that the purchase was a one time purchase, and I don't really blame him, since why would the thing exist if phones with a subscription can already do that it does?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't really blame him

He bought a piece of convenience tech designed for a specific piece of software, when said convenience tech is totally unnecessary to the function of that software, then got mad that he needed the software

I am shocked that everyone in this thread isn't roasting this dude nonstop. He's an idiot.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

They just don't consider personal responsibility to even exist. It's the corporation's fault they spent a hundred bucks on a thing your old phone and a 15 dollar magnetic mount could have done for you, because said device needs a subscription service.

I had a guy tell me in this thread that I had "privilege" for saying Spotify didnt expect people without a paid subscription to be spending money on such an overpriced device. OP is throwing hundo's away on stupid shit but it HAS to be the corpos fault somehow, people will toss logic right out the window to keep the cognitive dissonance at bay.

Sadly he is always right. I wish he was wrong all the time.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd check his wikipedia page before throwing around "always" like that.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank Faust there are times he is wrong! At least I know we live in not the worst world imaginable.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Controversies section of his Wikipedia page is euh interesting to say the least. He said some things that are not remotely acceptable

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Funny you mentioned RedHat's cancelation of Stallman.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I didn't mention that? I don't write on Wikipedia.

But don't you think his views on pedophilia are unacceptable? He says he has changed his mind and that's great but doesn't excuse what he said.

I usually agree with his views on software but the rest is often questionable
