Bluetooth does not behave properly with certain artist's Popular songs list:
1) Bluetooth will refuse to connect if a song is playing from certain artist's "Popular" list.
2) While Bluetooth is connected, attempting to select a song from the same artist's Popular song list does not work.
The issue is not reproduced for all artists. I can specifically reproduce the error with a small number of artist's Popular song list. For this bug report I am reproducing the error using the artist "Rain City Drive". I can reproduce this exact bug with Bluetooth for my PlayStation 5. This does not occur with Bluetooth connected to my car.
Bug #1:
DESCRIPTION: Unable to connect to Bluetooth when "Rain City Drive" music is playing which was activated from the artist's Popular list.
ACTION: Play a song from "Rain City Drive" Popular song list. Attempt to connect to a Bluetooth device.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: Bluetooth connects and the song continues to play.
ACTUAL BEHAVIOR: Bluetooth refuses to connect, a new song must be selected directly from any album, then Bluetooth connects immediately. Additionally, pausing the Popular song does not allow Bluetooth to connect.
WORKAROUND: Play any song directly from an album, Bluetooth connects immediately. The album can be from any artist including the one that has the broken Popular songs list.
Bug #2:
DESCRIPTION: While Bluetooth is connected, unable to select songs from "Rain City Drive" Popular song list.
ACTION: While connected to Bluetooth, select a song from "Rain City Drive" Popular song list.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: The song is changed to the one selected on the Popular song list.
ACTUAL BEHAVIOR: The song does not change while Bluetooth is connected.
WORKAROUND: #1: Disconnect from Bluetooth, select a song from the artist's Popular song list, the song is change immediately. #2: Stay connected to Bluetooth, change the song directly from the album, the song changes immediately.
EDIT: Oct 8, 22 @ 1528CST - This only occurs when connecting to PS5 Bluetooth. I tested on my car Bluetooth and it works fine.
