Hey folks, 

 

We've received reports that connecting to the car automatically plays Liked Songs playlist, with or without Car Thing.

 

This is being investigated.

Hey folks,

 

Thanks for your patience while we looked into this issue.

 

The main issue in this thread (Liked Songs automatically playing when connected to the car) should be resolved by now.

 

If anyone's still experiencing this issue and your app is up to date, we've moved @parksca5's most recent comment to this thread, in which we encourage everyone to post their issue if it's specific to the Liked Songs playlist. We can then forward your reports to the right teams.

 

If you have a similar issue but it's not specific to your Liked Songs anymore, please make sure to post a new thread in the relevant help board here.

 

Thanks!

My Question or Issue

I’ve had my car thing for about a year and up until recently it has worked great. But in the past week or so, every time I power it up it clears my current queue and starts playing my liked songs playlist. Does anyone know why this is happening? I factory reset it and it’s still an issue and I don’t have liked songs as one of my presets.

I had the same issue I found if you have the app open when your phone the next it will not do it

I'd like to add that I'm on android which I believe points to a Spotify setting rather than device issue.

Same issue. It is very frustrating, especially with large playlists/queues playing on random like a radio station, then I have to restart or rebuild the entire queue

I wish that worked for me, strangely it only works if I have it actively playing and have my phone unlocked and app open. All things that are a bit of a hassle when getting into my car and turning it on
