My Question or Issue
With the most recent update to Spotify on the Android platform, the buttons that allow 15sec skip forwards & skip backwards have disappeared on Android Auto when listening to podcsts. They have been replaced with a playback speed button to the left of the play button only. This is incredibly annoying because it does not allow skipping forwards or...more importantly...skipping backwards if something is missed.
However the skip forward & skip back buttons are there when using the app on the device itself. They are only missing from Android Auto.
Can this please be fixed?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Ok it appears this has been fixed with the latest update released overnight. The skip buttons are back in Android Auto.
Thanks Spotify!
Yes! This is incredibly frustrating and seems like a bug. There doesn't seem to be an intuitive reason as to why they were removed?

I think this is broken again.
You folks keep shuffling this stuff around.
Now the controls to go 15 forward and 15 back are there, but they are buried. More correctly, 15 forward is buried. You have to expand the menu (the stacked triple-dot icon) to have access to both 15 forward and 15 back, and your only choice while in map mode is next-track/previous-track.
If the point is to make this as hands free as possible fo people can focus on the road, this is a big fail.
There seems to be plenty of space in the UI to support both the forward/backward 15 buttons and next/previous track, but at a minimum, give me a config option to decide what displays.
Oh, and while you're in there, why not make it forward 15 and backward 10? Or even better forward 30 and back 10?
