This type of shit is why I just want a vehicle with a CD player that can hold multiple discs. Then I could just burn my favorite music onto a few discs and not have to worry about not having paid to have access to the music I want and don’t have to worry about a song I dislike popping up randomly.

You might really enjoy Plex + Plexamp. You own the library and choose your media but you don’t burn CDs and can instead stream/pin (for offline) songs or playlists like you’d expect from a paid music service.

They offer a decent car interface as well.
