Elon confirms Spotify is coming to US

[hydro 481]

Good to see you back, glad you got the ban lifted.

This is a simple API feed that is very little works for Tesla. It shouldn't take too long, it would be the same team doing the games and such. Those seem to be coming at a pretty quick pace.

Why was he banned?

I would love to have SiriusXM

SiriusXM and Apple Music and I’ll be set! But I welcome Spotify as well!

I tried a trial of Apple Music a while ago and preferred Spotify. Has it improved a lot? This was probably 2 years ago?

Siriusly? I had it in my old car and never used it. The thing that annoys me is when I canceled the service they kept harassing me to come back. Mail. Email. Phone calls. Even after I told them to stop contacting me. I still get letters to this day lol.

I got junk mail after the trial with the car ran out in 2014. Then after a phone call, where I gave a firm "never", the junk mail stopped. Started again with occasional mailing this year.

I'm very much of the mindset that radio is what people used before they could carry all their music on a single device.

Horrible company that makes cancellation so difficult that people pay to be invoiced rather than give them credit card details.

I've never used Spotify so I can't comment on any comparison between Spotify and Apple Music.

Well, Apple Music I have on my iPhone and I am fine with that.

Their tactic of pressuring customers is such a turn off. Even if they have a good product, I wouldn't give them my business just base on the way they conduct themselves. I hate it when companies make it difficult for you to cancel their service. This is not the 90s anymore. We should be able to cancel most services online through an account. Not have to call and beg you to cancel.

I think radio is good for people who like to discover new music or who don't really know what they want to listen to next. I personally don't use radio much. I prefer curating my own playlist. But I understand why some people like it.

Elon's credibility has gone downhill fast lately. I think it is better to not pay attention anymore to what he is saying:

- "All new cars come with FSD hardware installed" No, they are not. There are still cars shipped with HW2.5:
- "you can upgrade your MCU" No, you cannot according to service:
- "Tesla insurance wil be here in June" it is August...
- "HW3 will be installed end of summer for those who bought FSD" No it is not..
Etc

They do stalk you!

Older cars had it. They dropped it.

 

[jboy210]

I really want Spotify. I have been a Spotify Premium customer for a long time, and would love to have my music and podcast playlists in my car.

I would love to have SiriusXM

Why? I have SiriusXM in another ICE car and pay $25 every six months. I've had XM for years and not overly impressed, which is why I ask. Don't biterates blow on SiriusXM?

 

[xxxholic]

I wish we weren't limited to our audio options. Is it licensing/cost thing as to what's offered?

I'd love for these two as well, so that I can stop using my phone to play over bluetooth and have limited controls on the screen.

What would be really awesome is a developer API of some sort so we could end up with media related apps (Sirius XM app, Apple Music app, podcast apps, etc).

Can any of you audiophiles comment on the sound quality of our integrated Slacker vs. bluetooth Spotify? My ears and I think an old post I read tells me that the sound quality is better when it's integrated vs. bluetooth. So would that mean an integrated Spotify would be better sound quality than bluetooth?

You normally lose some quality with Bluetooth and that's why most audiophiles don't like to use BT headphones.

 

[GuyFromGPT]

Any bets, it won't be available for the Model 3 SR/SR+ crowd?

 

[Xenoilphobe]

Finally, I am sooo sick of using my phone for the last six years to use Spotify at the higher bit rate than the slacker in car system.

I used to love Spotify but stopped using it when I hit the 10,000 song "My Library" limit. Once you hit that limit you can't add new songs without deleting songs from your library, which is a giant pain.

I think Apple Music has a higher bit rate. Has much higher fidelity than Spotify as I noticed this weekend playing the same songs back to back for comparison. I like Spotify interface better.
