Spotify has started testing its first piece of hardware, a music player for your car that the company has named “Car Thing” and which will apparently serve an even more important purpose than going on sale as a mainstream consumer electronics gadget.
In a blog post today, the streaming music giant stressed that it has no plans currently to put the device on sale. Instead, the plan is to use it as a way to learn more about its users — their habits, preferences and the like.
“Car Thing was developed to help us learn more about how people listen to music and podcasts,” the company writes in the post.
