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.

    You paid $100 to play music that you didn’t own. It feels mean to put it that way, but it was never a foolproof plan if we’re being honest.

      You’d be shocked to hear that people purchase radios for over $100 to listen to music they don’t own.

        Yes, and after the 100$, they can listen to the radio. Op has a brick unless he pays more every month.

          This is my point. The person I replied to said OP shouldn’t expect more than what they got. I pointed out this same business model has worked for decades so OP shouldn’t have expected the outcome of a bricked device.

            Under a rock question here, but do you know of any sites that map out radio stations so you can preview them or note them to check out when traveling about?

            I mostly listen to my own music when traveling because I don’t know any radio stations that might click with me, and don’t really feel like or sometimes have the time to scan for them.

                Oh, to clarify, when I said my own music, I meant my local files. I’m a weirdo that buys music & syncs it across devices.

                That said, I did a little searching after asking this and found a cool little site called Radio.garden that helps find some radio stations around you, and found some cool stations I might give more of a listen to.

        I’d be shocked if you can explain why that’s the same as owning a walled garden front-end that turns into e-waste the second your wallet closes.

      There’s a difference between purchasing a product and paying for a service.

      Paying for Spotify would be the latter.

        Water is a liquid. The human body can only breathe gases. When you breathe a liquid, that is called drowning.

        Boom.

        I agree, smugly stating the obvious is fun. I didn’t think it would be, but you won me over.

          Youre the only smug one, not to mention the only fool.
