Bafflingly, even the high end head units do not play any of the playlist formats. I do not understand this. I realize that .m3u8 is CSV-like in its lack of exacting standard, but come on.

Apparently, everything is done through one's phone now. And then it seems so difficult to get files on and off of an iPhone without using the system-wrecking iTunes that most people resort to some kind of service, so rather than your music, you're getting whatever is available that "they" feel like popularizing now.
