Hi guys,

I recently ditched spotify and had a try of Google play music due to the features around uploading your own music.  The other features didn't really work for me, so have returned to Spotify with a new Pixel phone.

Has something changed over the last 3-4 weeks?

All of a sudden I can't control my music playback through my bluetooth controls in my car like I used to be able to, also can't even move forward or back tracks from the widget in my lock screen!

To rub salt into the wound I also seem to find that Spotify continues its own playback through my phones speaker when I disconnect from my car audio, and because I can't pause it from the lock screen I find this really irritating!

Anyone else with these problems?  What has changed?

I've tried the battery optimization off, as well as allowing full access etc.  This is the sort of thing that would make me leave!

Cheers
