Just never seen anyone use it. Maybe it's my age group. A couple YouTube reviews I saw of the golf before buying made a few jabs at VW for having the SD card stuff everywhere too. Then again, I can't even remember the last time I used a CD/DVD/Blu ray or floppy drive either. not knocking it if it works for you. I wouldn't be able to store all of my music on one SD
I guess it depends on whether you want to buy music or not.
My primary source to listen to music is Spotify.
I was one of the early users back when record labels were fighting the new streaming services.
In the beginning, I would make playlists and stream.
After a while, songs would drop out from Spotify as record companies sold artist and music rights to other companies, and then the songs would re-appear after Spotify negotiated with the new company.
I got fed up, and decided to purchase / download songs instead of streaming.
And you're right, it's probably a generational thing.
My first music purchases were 45s and 8 tracks
