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

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.

    Every single modem and cell phone I’ve ever owned have worked without a subscription to anything. My internet and ability to make cell calls were limited after my subscription ended, but the devices themselves were easily repurposed to other uses.

      In my country nobody (or at least, most people don’t) buy their own routers, it’s always a subscription on top of the existing internet service

        How about a law that if the service is no longer provided then the company needs to provide a means to unlock the device?

        That way companies can still have their subscription stuff, but once they inevitably stop supporting the product it doesn’t become useless.
