How Many Ways To Play Music- Ad Free?

[davelong9050]

Looking for (advertising free) methods of playing music in a 2016 S7- without cables.

So far it looks like:
1) Using a Bluetooth device through the MMI
2) Using your own media on flash memory and the Audi Jukebox. Is this part of MMI?
3) Sirius Radio
4) CD Player

Am I missing anything?
Would Audi Connect offer any advantages?
What method offers the best sound quality?

Thanks!

Sirius would offer lowest quality
Flacs through phone would offer highest
Tune in radio would be best option for ad free music. Silly millions of stations
Spotify would be best overall but it's $10 a month which to me is a bargain.

I opt in for putting high quality music files onto 32GB SD Card and Play from there. Since I manage my music library and playlists with iTune, I use DoubleTwist to sync up between the musics on SD card and iTune library. However, the randomization in MMI doesn't work like how I want it to work so I work around by writing my own program to generate randomized playlists out of the original playlists and that works perfectly fine for me.

Flacs, Tunein and Spotify require a bluetooth device, correct?
Is there any way to take advantage of Audi Connect and eliminate the need for bluetooth?

i've recently been wondering if chromecast audio could work for this in the vehicle.

i just bought one for our home music system and love it, works great to stream any music off the phone throughout the house in all our zones, high quality as well.

I use Pandora(HQ setting) and I find it to be very well matched to the B&O system. On my 40 minute commute I typically only hear one commercial. Im ok with that.

After additional research, please correct me if I'm wrong with this statement.............."There are only 3 methods of listening to "ad free" music WITHOUT the aid of a smartphone. 1) Utilizing the Jukebox, 2) Subscribing to Sirius and 3) Using the CD player."

There is NO WAY to connect directly to web based music services via Audi Connect, correct?

Hard to imagine but occasionally I travel without my phone but still want access to "ad free" music.
