My Question or Issue

Since a few days, when I change the song in Spotify using android auto, the screen shows "audio disabled" and I have to resume playing by pressing play on the screen. This happens to me when the next song is not downloaded. I remember that before, a blue circle appeared on the screen that showed me the load of the song. Now that doesn't appear to me anymore and it only shows me the progress of the song.
Before when a song wasn't downloaded, I just waited and spotify would automatically resume playing.

Hi @bgioda,

Thank you for reaching out about this!

Did this start happening after a specific event, such as an update to your phone/head unit or the Spotify app?

Also, could you try with a different phone to see if the issue persists across devices? And if possible, could you try connecting your phone to your car's stereo using a different type of connection to see if this behavior persists?

Keep us posted.
