I feel this, and many actions prior to this, conveys what Uber's priorities are. While your drivers are complaining of wear & tear on their cars w/ low pay, falling demands w/ saturated markets, unfair ratings from entitled & often rude & disrespectful passengers, Uber in their board meeting room where everything is made of gold & diamonds [exaggerating here ] asks "how can we improve the experience of these already SPOILED pax? Lets make them control the music in our Uberslave's cars thru a Spotify partnership! Great!"

Really Uber?
I can see it now:
pax: "Hey (driver's name), I want to play my music in your car, do you have an aux"
driver: no sir/ma'am, but I have the radio if you like
pax: never mind (then the pax gives the driver a 1-star)
In another scenario, since I do happen to have an aux in my 2011 Honda accord, I can see these entitled pax asking me to turn up the volume to their favorite song to a level I am not comfortable driving w/ and then giving me a 1-3star rating just because I didn't let them "turn-up" (this means party really loud)
My point is Uber should get their priorities in check. In my early days, about 3 months ago, I used not mind pax controlling my music since I do have an aux & bluetooth. But with the list of Uberdriver issues now, it's my music or no music.
Most of my riders like my music & often compliment it but am not looking forward to pax doing $6 ($4.80 after Uber's cut) trips asking to control my music. You better TIP
