North Americans: Would you pay for Spotify? VOTE!

Slacker is free... not worth $10 vs free

Ok. but it is nice to have choice. Some may want to pay more to be able to rewind a song, request and play a whole album, have better radio stations, and maybe have a higher bit rate sound quality?

If you like music, $10 a month for Spotify is ridiculously cheap. It's all the music you want for the cost of less than a CD.

Or less: if a family has 3 Tesla's, a home account, a work account etc. it could be less than $3 a month for each car.

It really depends how you consume your music. If you want to just pick a song you like and have others pop up based on that, then I guess Slacker is all you need. If you like choosing albums, creating playlists, going back to the beginning of a song, etc, then paying for a music service, whether it is Spotify, Premium Slacker, or whatever else, is definitely worth it.

Just FYI for those of you who don't know, Slacker has re-branded to "Live X Live". With the re-branding came a significant improvement of their app and some the their content updated as well.

some of us already pay for spotify which we use both in our cars and the rest of our life... no reason not to have the app built in to the car

Comparing Slacker to Spotify is kind of like comparing a Prius to a Tesla.

Both play music, but Slacker is basically a radio station. Spotify gives you access to pretty much every major artist ever; you can play entire albums; you can search by artist; you can make playlists; Spotify has multiple pre-made playlists by genre; and it also has playlists that are specifically made based on your musical taste.

AGAIN...it’s not free
I can still search for a particular song or artist with slacker. It’s continuous music streaming with no interruptions..SO ITS NOT LIKE RADIO

Are you comparing the Premium versions of each product? Does non premium Spotify let you play any specific song?

I don't know if that is a relevant question, as the Tesla requires the premium account.

Finally — the wait is over.

BYOA — bring your own account and log into Spotify from the Media menu to listen to music with immersive sound. Enjoy every song, playlist and podcast available, including a few suggestions from Tesla. Spotify Premium is required.

I haven't been given the option to download it in my lowly 2015 AP1 car. Spotify will be a welcome addition.

We'll get it in a few Elon weeks when the non-FSD people start getting V10.

I just signed up for Spotify premium after approximately copying favorites and playlists that were on Slacker. It's nice to be able to use the same service on my home speakers.

Is "Talk Radio" available on Spotify??

Deployment is already past people who paid for FSD (if it ever even was just for them). I have EAP and I got V10 last night. AP2.5 MCU2.

True, but I already pay for a Spotify family account, so it's not even an extra cost item for me.

With v10 and Spotify, I can now repeat the same song or skip ahead! Hurrah!
