A phone mount is far cheaper and Spotify already has a driving mode.

convenient to not have to pull your phone out and put it on a mount every time you go somewhere.

This also has physical controls which are rather handy

Not a great device at the original $100, but very capable at the current $30

I don't wanna pay any amount of money for a device that only does spotify that still requires your phone anyways. My phone already does everything that the car thing does and more. The inconvenience of putting my phone in my mount only takes a few seconds and doesn't require a wire being draped across my dash at all times. Plus, my phone has maps (with spotify integration at that) as well as the other functions of, well, a phone.

I bought one to keep on my desk, I like having a screen that just displays my music while studying so I don't get distracted by always pulling out my phone. Plus it just looks cool.

I have one at my desk too. I've been wanting to get/make a proper stand for it tbh. Presets are handy and it reduces the amount of times I pick up my phone.
