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.
I don’t own one. But having real buttons is always an advatage for me when driving a car. I think my car can do everything the “Car Thing” did via the buttons on the steering wheel and the screen of the radio (or multimedia screen or whatever we call those nowadays), but if I had an car that can’t I might have been interested.
If you use anything by the monopolist assholes, you can totally expect to get enshitified. I swtiched over to Tidal a while back. They support artists, not hate speech. And the audio quality is better.
I largely agree, except that a few months back tidal changed the way they compensate artists so now it‘s exactly the same crap as the others. bandcamp is the way if you want to support artists.
they sent out an email in february saying that they stopped paying a share of your monthly payments directly to your most listened artists and instead will put more funding towards organizing concerts for „up and coming“ artists that they chose… which sounds just like advertising for tidal to me
I have the hobby of cracking stuff like that (but mainly windows apps to tell you the truth) and there are many-ish people out there with the same hobby. search around a bit and google stuff like “Spotify Car Thing github” or “Spotify Thing bypass” or jailbreak. Heavily rely on github and russian forums. Also random small blogs
If you’re so determined though and nobody else has done it and you’re fine not using it for 3+ months, there’s a very slim chance that I could find the time to bypass it
unfortunately I’ve not released any crack and the reason behind it is that I develop them in a way that you can read what they do (which function they hook, what do they expect and more) using frida.re so the crack ends being a javascript file that is run through a power shell script. so no “copy this dll” or “disable your antivirus” - super clean and you can always see what the crack does. my base is ALWAYS that you download and install the app from the manufacturer
due to that though I “can’t” release the scripts to the public as:
I’ll go to jail
the companies will start to implement anti-cracking measures as I give them exactly the way I crack their app on a silver platter
Am I missing something, or why would you assume or expect that a Spotify peripheral could be used without a Spotify subscription? What even is this thing?
Based on OP it has other functions than just Spotify.
But things like that shouldn’t need a subscription. It’s a shitty thing to do.
Pelton, this car thing, etc. Have other functions that don’t require the subscription but by making it mandatory they give you a unusable piece of junk if you ever cancel.
This is not true but basically true. Those who subscribed to the early access mailing list were able to purchase it for $25 instead of the $50 MSRP. I bought one when they first came out and I absolutely love it. I can definitely see OP’s frustration from it not working unless you have premium, that’s pretty bullshit.
