Android Auto Missing Albums

NJMike — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 19:59:28 GMT

Spotify app and Android Auto are not in sync with my albums in my library. Has been an issue for years ever since I first started using it.

Attached are two photos for reference, you cam see how the Android Auto screenshot has way less albums than should be present.

Hey @NJMike,

Thanks for reaching out.

Please note that the app for Android Auto has limited functionality in some areas in order to optimize its performance, so what you're currently seeing is expected behavior. However, we appreciate your feedback and we've made sure to forward it to the relevant team.

Cheers,

Is there a reason why it chooses specific albums to not show up? Also how come I can force them to show up after unfavoriting and re-favoriting those albums? Thank you for your help.

My Question or Issue

Spotify app in Google Auto is not showing the full list of albums. When searching by artist in iOS / MacOS / Windows app - artists albums can be found, but it is reduced in Google Auto app.

Still an issue more than two years after it was reported here. Any progress towards fixing it?

I also find the explanation lacking. How do the different functionalities affect the contents of the library?
