Metadata of local files synced to offline playlist not showing on car stereo.

Metadata of local files synced to offline playlist not showing on car stereo.

When a local file is played from a offline playlist, the metadata doesnt update when the song is played, it shows the metadata of the song before.

IPhone 4S

IOS 7.1

Spotify 1.1.0.2549

Original Citroen Berlingo stereo

I belive this happened with a Pioneer unit also.

 

Example:

1. [song 1 playing(normal spotify song)] [metadata of song 1 showing in car stereo]

2. [song 2 playing(local file synced from pc)] [metadata of song 1 still showing in car stereo]

3. [song 3 playing(normal spotify song)] [Normal and correct metadata function showing]

 

Steps to repeat:

Sync a playlist with local files to offline playlist.

Play a spotify song.

Queue manually to speed up the process or wait for a local file to play.

Metadata when the local file is playing will show the metadata of the previousley played song.

This is a bug in version 1.1

 

The developers are aware of the bug and hopefully it will be fixed soon.

 

It should be fixed in the upcoming 1.2 or 1.3 updates
