My Question or Issue

Steps to reproduce: 

1. Play a podcast episode

2. Navigate to the AI DJ from home screen while the podcast is playing

3. DJ appears on screen and starts speaking for a split second, then the app crashes. 

• Even after relaunching the app after such a crash, if I go directly to DJ it will immediately crash again.
• This reproduces reliably for me.
• The workaround is to switch to a different audio type first (e.g. normal playlist) before activating the DJ.

Hey there, @analemma2345,

Thanks for reaching out to the Spotify Community!

At the moment, the DJ is intended to work with music only, which is why this might be happening. Nevertheless, we’re regularly looking for opportunities to enhance the user experience for everyone, so your feedback on this is greatly appreciated.

In the meantime, make sure you're always running the latest version of Spotify so you don't miss out on any updates.

Cheers 🤘

Sure, but when I switch to the DJ, I am in fact expecting to play music. It's still a bug that this crashes the app.

I'm sorry, but is the official answer from Spotify to simply let the DJ repeatedly crash the app?

Like title says the android app crashes when switching from an audiobook to the DJ (this is repeatable with other audiobooks)

Its barely an issue just I couldn't find any other bug report tool.
