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.

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?

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.

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.

Doesn't stop? You sign on the dotted line for a lifetime of payments? You can't cancel your subscription?

since why would the thing exist if phones with a subscription can already do that it does?

That's the exact logic that would lead someone with an ounce of intelligence to go "oh yeah, this product is a completely stupid piece of shit that's marketed toward people with more money than brain cells."

Did it say anywhere on the package that it gets you a lifetime subscription to Spotify? No. Does OP understand that Spotify works on a subscription model? Probably, Saas isnt fucking new.

This is the kind of boy-who-cried-wolf bullshit that keeps corporations from actually being held accountable, because people who want better worker's rights and taxes on corporations look like idiots when lumped in with children like you who consider personal responsibility and thinking for yourself to be too scawy.
