hey it's David from way for and do you
00:00:01
remember the Spotify car thing on
00:00:04
December 9th of this year all the car
00:00:06
things are just going to stop working
00:00:08
completely the car thing was a little
00:00:10
car accessory that Spotify announced in
00:00:12
2021 for $90 the idea was to give you a
00:00:16
nice little audio interface for Spotify
00:00:17
if you didn't have something like
00:00:19
Android auto or apple carplay it was
00:00:21
released in February 2022 and by July
00:00:25
2022 it was discontinued when Spotify
00:00:28
discontinued it they said that it should
00:00:29
just keep working as intended which is
00:00:31
good because a niche little community of
00:00:33
caring Tinkers popped up and did some
00:00:35
pretty cool stuff with it but they
00:00:37
didn't really hold true to that promise
00:00:39
now the big drama here is that Spotify
00:00:41
originally said it wasn't going to
00:00:42
refund anybody for this $90 device which
00:00:45
seems insane but after a bunch of
00:00:47
customer backlash and a class action
00:00:49
lawsuit they actually reversed course on
00:00:51
that and they're doing that now if you
00:00:52
want to hear more about the story or
00:00:53
other stuff that we talked about this
00:00:54
