AVRCP support to see artist and track metadata during Bluetooth playback

[Ted]

Hi!

Are there any plans for implementing AVRCP 1.3+ to enable Spotify metadata (such as track title and artist) to be displayed when playing through Blueooth?

For example, in my car I can see the name of the song, artist, and album when playing music through the standard Android music player, but I get nothing when playing songs through Spotify. 😞

Will this be added in an upcoming update?

Thanks!

I would really like to see this available in the Spotify android app so I can get it working with my parrot bluetooth kit.

Go on, i know you already have android on some in-car devices but implementing this simple protocol will open up compatibility with hundreds/thousands of other devices.

Very annoying that the iPhone app does all this with no problem. Android 4.00 does not have bulit in support for this, but many phones do, like my Samsung Galaxy S2.

Come on Spotify please treat us Android fans, by giving us Bluetooth track information?

Just downloaded the latest Android Beta Preview and so disappointed to find that there is still no track information data sent over Bluetooth. The iPhone app does this perfectly, so why not Android? I have the Samsung Galaxy S2 which has the correct Bluetooth AVCRP 1.3+ integration built in, which functions beautifully using the stock music player and my Nissan Leaf's audio system. Have tried other music streaming services, but nobody else does this yet. Come on Spotify, don't let your Premium users down!

Hi. This is on the wishlist: http://community.spotify.com/t5/Mobile-Android/quot-Official-quot-new-application-beta-release-missi...

Spotify don't comment on development plans though so there's no way of knowing if or when it will be delivered. I understand its included in the iOS apps though so could well be on the 'soon' list for Android

Using the new Samsung Galaxy S3, and Spotify does not support AVRCP to display track information to my cars display. The iphone version did this perfectly. 

Spoitfy better change otherwise i'm leaving them... simple really. 

Furthermore, music doesn't seem to start up again when driving mode reads out a text message, very annoying whilst driving which means i have to fiddle around with my phone... not sure whether this is a spotify  or samsung issue.

I'm sick of buying products that just had constant set backs etc.... what a joke!

Hallo,

I am since yesterday by Spotify, but I miss already the "track info over bluetooth (AVRCP)" feature. I hope this will be integrated as quickly as possible.

Starmatthew, does your Galaxy S3 give Bluetooth track information using the stock music player please? I am thinking of getting one, thanks. My S2 does this, but don't want to upgrade if the S3 doesn't.
