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.

    yes you are, it must be there unless you’re using an obsolete release of the app. Below is a screenshot how it looks like

    yes, you can build a queue by “adding to queue”.

      So I finally figured it out. this is how that toggle works:

      • it only appears when you manually search for a song or select a song from certain groups on the home page.
      • it does not appear to appear if you select a song from “listen again” or “quick picks” in which case the app forces you to listen to whatever is in their queue unless you manually clear the queue.

      So no matter what it’s still a bad experience.

        oh yeah, you are right-ish. it doesn’t show up if you launch a “radio”, which innately is a automatic, end-less playlist of similar music. I do agree though that this should be more visible in the UI

      No. I’m not wrong, and I don’t appreciate you repeatedly telling me I am when you obviously have no clue what I’m looking at.

      It isn’t there. I’m on Android 13 with the latest version of the app. There is no “auto-play” toggle anywhere. I’d upload screenshots to prove it but lemmy is throwing exceptions. I’ve checked every tab and settings page as well.
