I don’t use Spotify and from what I read, I don’t think it can approximate what I get with the Podcasts app on my phone to play downloaded episodes of an online radio show. I subscribe which gives me a private URL I can put in the Podcasts app and episodes automatically download as they become available. This means that wherever I am, however I am listening, I can access the same content and pick up right where I left off.I'm not in my truck right now, but isn't this how it already works when listening to a podcast on Spotify? I know the steering wheel buttons skip forward and back 15 seconds when listening to a podcast, and I could have sworn the on-screen buttons in the fly-out did the same thing.
Can Spotify deal with subscription content not through their service via private URL and will it allow me to pick up on my phone where I was in my Rivian and vice versa? I’m willing to switch players if it’ll do what I need.
