I don't think it's related to Windows because I have the exact same issue even though I'm on macOS, hopefully they can fix this soon, pretty annoying 😮‍💨

It's crazy that this is an issue for the biggest audio software in the world. It's the most basic function of a audio playing program, yet it doesn't work in the biggest audio streaming software in the world. Even for paying customers. Y'all gats ta fix this asap. I've been complaining pretty much every week this last month. It would be understandable if this wasn't fixed if you only had one part time programmer working for you, but I know y'alls gat like a bajillion top grade programmers working for y'alls so...

I can't emphasize how critical this issue is. It is a CORE function of an audio streaming service. I'm a web developer and I'm absolutely flabbergasted about how this is still an issue. wth. Fix it.
