Apple Music. I joined back in college when I was able to get the student price. But honestly I really miss Spotify and I always think about switching back, mostly just because of the Discover Weekly playlists, which were almost always so good.

I just split the cost of a family plan with 5 other people. 14.99/5 comes out to like 3 bucks a month which is very worth it in my opinion

I switched over to a paid Spotify plan a couple years ago. No regrets. We have 2 accounts and it's worth the $15/month. The recommendation algorithms are way better than other apps I have used (Google, Pandora) but have not been amazing as of late. Though I think that's more because I need to listen to more than the same old stuff and am on a search for new music so it's screwed it up a bit. My fiancee however seems to get a bunch of foreign music (Spanish, k-pop, etc) in her weekly finds and isn't sure how it started lol.

good to know. I hadn't looked into it in that depth.

Interesting... is it $9.99 USD/month for you? I just checked my bills and I'm paying $9.99 CAD/month...

For me it is worth it because I finally had a compromise-free solution to my music needs both at home and in my car.

Anybody used it on a 2017+ BRZ? Is it easy to install, or should I make it installed on the dealer service?

(Edit: that thread got more than one page

I'm reading it now.. But any knowledge-experience is appreciated.)

Looked at this... honestly I wish they had a version half this size, but they probably need it larger to accommodate supporting the extended steering wheel bolt. As a tall dude, my driving position would be perfect if the steering wheel could telescope an inch closer to me. Even with a flat bottom steering wheel I still knock my knees on it.

Back from New Year vaca. It was a nice 6 days of doing nothing and relax. Now time to get back to work... got shit tons of I need to catch up (both here & IRL).

Damn. I didn't know they changed it to a flat $15/month and not $5 per person. I may need to consolidate into my Dad's plan lol.

I'd recommend it for sure. 3 bucks a month for any music my heart desires at all times is a steal.

Will BRZ · 01-06-2020, 07:01 PM

Damn I really just want something that I can just press play on a playlist and forget about. One of my coworker pays $8 I think so

Guess just comes down to whether it’s worth it for me or not, but one of my resolutions is to save as much money as I can this year. I’m literally canceling my cable and WiFi just to do so. Leaning toward Spotify
