[Bug Report] Spotify pauses music when JBL turns off

[Batteries]

Spotify is open on both the desktop and my iPhone 11, while my phone has a Bluetooth connection to the JBL Flip 4. Then either on my desktop or phone, I will switch the music over to play on my desktop. I will dance around for a second before turning off my JBL via the button on the speaker. Spotify on the desktop will then pause the music, and I will have to either unpause it on my phone or desktop when I would assume most people, including myself, would rather have Spotify keep streaming on the desktop.

After I typed all that out, I am not sure if this is a bug report or a requested feature, but here it is.

My Question or Issue

Spotify pauses music when it should not

Hey @Batteries,

Thanks for reaching out about this in the Community!

Can you make sure that your PC is selected from the Spotify connect device picker before switching the Bluetooth speaker off? I tried this on my end, but once I switch to playback from the PC I can safely turn off my BT speaker without the music pausing.

Looking forward to your reply.
