When phone makers all decided to ditch the headphone jack, I wanted to still be able to charge the phone while also streaming music/podcasts and hearing nav over the speakers. Picked up a cheap Bluetooth receiver that plugs into the aux-in and went back to playing my personal music library from Google Music while on the road.
I'm not a "millenial" as I'm rapidly approaching my mid-40s. I don't want more subscriptions to streaming services, but I did love the convenience of easy access to my backed up music.
On one hand, I try to be realistic with things like this and with Google Photos. It's shitty when you find something that really works well and doesn't cost extra. But I also understand that by virtue of not having an easy drop-in replacement for free (or cheaper than similar offerings from Amazon, Apple, etc) there is certainly value in such services. Value implies a cost and I'm not surprised when an eventual price tag shows up.
My gripe is partly (admittedly) that I'd become spoiled by the free service, and partly that these things are only free for as long as they serve some other purpose--whether that is training photo algorithms, rapidly growing a userbase, or just having a product to compete in a market. When they go away, it makes me feel like I fell for something, even though I was already getting something for (nominally) nothing. It's not logical and I'm still working out my opinion on these sorts of things.
I taped a bunch of episodes of Brain Pain from the late 80's. That stuff ain't available anywhere. Some C89.5 shows from 30 years ago, too. Wish I'd taped a few more of them.
I've only compared it to FM on short trips to Sweden though, since FM has been shut down for years here in Norway (except for local radio stations), so my experiences may be positively impacted by the mostly interference free life here. My car speakers aren't exactly high end either.
Worth a buy regardless though, it's really nice to be able to listen to whatever you want without planning it beforehand.

Yup.
