Yikes.

So they kill their Car Thing player leaving customers with e-waste, add a bundle of features with high fidelity audio which only 1% of systems will benefit from, while jacking up the price. Well done Spotify, you have successfully enshitificated your service.

True, plus lossless is kinda pointless for streaming anyway since the difference between high-bitrate OGG Vorbis is basically undetectable even when using high-end gear.

Laughs in Tidal.
