However, they repeatedly call out a high subscription price, streaming-only content with no offline option, weak CarPlay support, and requests for missing features (ratings/mark-as-played) and UI improvements like larger artwork. ### Pros - Superior audio quality with remastered soundboards that outperform other sources. - Polished cassette-tape UI and an overall great interface. - Access to remastered/box-set releases and content not easily available elsewhere. - Extra features beyond streaming (reviews, playlists, recording history). - Strong search/navigation across the catalog. ### Cons - High price with a paid subscription model and little to no free access. - Content is streaming-only and can disappear; offline listening is not available. - Limited CarPlay support and readability issues in car interfaces. - Missing features requests seen across multiple reviews (rating/marking shows as played; shelves in the cassette UI). - Artwork/display could be improved (desire for larger artwork). ## Similar extensions and apps - [LiveVault](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6760244439) — 5.00 / 5 - [Deadsound](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1612333223) — 5.00 / 5 - [Scarlet\>Fire](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6758163933) — 4.90 / 5 - [Attics](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1434981632) — 4.90 / 5 - [TheDeadly](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6753330346) — 4.90 / 5 - [LivePhish](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id374048661) — 4.90 / 5 - [Relisten — all live music](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id715886886) — 4.90 / 5 - [Live Music Archive](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1453343128) — 4.90 / 5 - [DEADSHOWZ](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1254621329) — 4.30 / 5 - [Dupree's Dead Band](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6758861780) — 5.00 / 5 - [DeadWax](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6760111602) - [Live Shuffle](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id1522631804) — 4.80 / 5 --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/id6747825801)
