[AAOS] Spotify for Android Automotive desperately need improving

[silverjam]

Hi,

I'm running Spotify on Android Automotive in my new nice car (Polestar 2), but I was really disappointed by the Spotify app, because you are completely missing out on a lot of basic stuff:

• Playlist folders are not displayed in my library.
• Not possible to browse all albums by an artist (say what!). It seems like the oldest albums are removed from the list after a certain album count on the display. At the same time, there are lots of duplicate albums by each artist (most likely different versions of the same album).
• Artist radio stations are not available.
• Missing all the great stuff on the front page of the "normal phone app" (suggestions etc.).

What are your plans for adding this functionality (and other basic stuff from the "normal phone app") to get it up to speed?

Best regards,

[silverjam]

Spotify: What is status here?

Barely anything changed in the app (if at all). Doesn't seem it's being maintained

@spotify : Geez guys. You really need to step up here. I'd be willing to sign an NDA and fix the bugs myself.

Yes this is still the case years later. This version of the app has been left in the wilderness in terms of development. Basic functionality as listed above is still missing from it. Hopefully that can be rectified before I ditch Spotify for good

Bumping this as there are still numerous issues with the Spotify AAOS app, most annoyedly the fact that it will not load all songs on the playlist.

Bumping this again as simply nothin has happened and apparently they'll resolve issue based on a popularity contest. The latest issue comes with lossless. Of all places this would be best is in a car, yet they have no idea about when or if this will be available. C'mon Spotify, lift your game.
