My Question or Issue

When I try to play songs on one of my devices while another device connected to my wifi is playing, it switches and plays my song on that device. If I change what device the song plays on, the song changes to the one I selected, plays on my device, then goes back to the previously playing device a few seconds later, still playing the newly selected song. This issue has persisted through multiple online forms and FAQ's, and I'd appreciate some help on the matter.

Honesty, you need multiple accounts my friend. I have google home and it bugs me out bad. I did a duo premium, but if you don't care about ads then don't pay for duo it's just cheaper for two, so I can have different music playin at home, and my main account is on my phones. If there's music I want to also play at home, I share the playlist to my second account, and then create a new playlist, on second account, and add the songs to it from the shared playlist to it.

 

Ex: Workout playlist from main account gets shared to second account via email. Then I switch to second account in app (you can add accounts in setting so you don't need browsers or anything) if it doesn't switch automatically when you click from email. Then I create a new workout playlist in second account "Workout 2," and add the songs from the shared workout to the new Workout 2. I do it this way so when I add or subtract songs on my main, it will reflect on new new one. If not, I can just change accounts, and do it real quick. And if there are songs I can only play while by myself (for parents or sensored listening) I can adjust accordingly. It helps to be sure of the songs you want so you don't need to switch a bunch.

My Question or Issue

I'm gonna describe step by step what always happens to me:

- I'm listening to music on my Android phone with Bluetooth earbuds.

- I decide I want to switch to Spotify on my PC so I click "Connect to a device" and select "Current device" on my desktop client.

- The music starts playing on my computer, as expected.

- Oops, I forgot to put my earbuds in the case.

- I put the earbuds in the case.

- Spotify starts playing on my phone.

- I have to select once again my PC as device either from my phone or PC.

 

That's basically it, please fix this issue.

My Question or Issue

I have a BT speaker. When I’m listening to a Spotify connected speaker and the BT speaker turns on, my phone connects to that speaker and switches. That is logical behavior.
When i switch back to the Spotify connected speaker, Spotify keeps switching back to the BT speaker..
All that while someone else is trying to use that speaker, and i did unconnect that speaker in the BT settings of my phone.

 

To reproduce: Connect and play via a BT speaker.

Turn that speaker off

Play via a Spotify connect speaker

Let some-one turn on the BT speaker.

Spotify will start playing through that speaker (normal behavior)

Connect Spotify with the Spotify connect speaker.

After a few seconds, Spotify will start playing via the BT speaker.

After stopping Spotify and disconnecting the speaker, the iPhone is not connecting to that speaker.
