@arstechnica but but but why didn’t they allow competing music services to run on it?

@delric @arstechnica probably because the services that run on the device are hard coded to IPs on Spotify servers. They'd have to scrub all the Spotify specific coding which could be a lot. Keep in mind that the device is purely for Spotify. This is why 10 seconds after I looked at it I totally dismissed it. S*** like this is designed to be e-waste.
