Needless to say, the Echo Auto can do whatever you normally do at home, but in your car, and for less than the cost of a Spotify Car Thing. According to Nerds Chalk, “You play Spotify or Apple Music, stream Audible, listen to iHeartRadio, SiriusXM, and basically do anything else you can do with your phone – as well as all sorts of other Alexa-oriented tasks like checking your email, making phone calls, or accessing your Smart home accessories through voice control.” This device does what the Spotify Thing can do and more. Have you ever wanted to say “Alexa!” in your car? Now you can with Echo Auto. However, for those not willing to plunk down $89 for it, here are five other alternatives. It has a touchscreen that you can scroll through, voice recognition, and physical buttons for presets. That’s right, instead of using your phone with the Spotify app playing, you can have a separate player that does the same thing but in a nicer fashion. Well, the Spotify Car Thing brings back some nostalgia because it’s a device solely intended to play Spotify through your car’s radio. Remember when we used separate devices for everything in our day-to-day lives? We had navigation units (or printed directions) to tell us where to go, cell phones to make calls, and e-mails that were usually done through computers.
