Spotify’s Car Thing’s real home is on your desk.
The Spotify Car Thing is a pretty terrible in-car gadget; it’s completely redundant with (and reliant on) your phone and isn’t capable of doing anything other than play music or podcasts from Spotify. No maps, no messages, no calls.
But over on YouTube, the Work from Hype channel argues those qualities make it perfect for a dedicated music controller on your desk, where it can be mounted in an easy way and provide quick access to whatever tunes you’re listening to while working.
I tend to agree, and for the $30 price Spotify is charging for this thing now that it’s officially discontinued, it’s a sweet desk accessory. I just bought one.
