Spotify Requests

[Bootneckshuffl]

Hi all

Just noticed that Spotify will now only play one song from a particular requested artist.

Example, I use voice command to “play music by Metallica” and indeed it’ll play music by Metallica at random but only one track and then move onto something else.

I noticed it said “Metallica and related artists” underneath the Metallica track being played.

I never had this before the update. Used to say”play music by xxxxxx” and it would play a selection of that artists music, now just one track.

Is there something I’m doing wrong? A setting somewhere? This is using the Tesla Account with the car and is on Premium Connectivity.

Are you sure that you are using Spotify or maybe it switched to streaming?

I think voice requests through the car automatically go to Spotify. Yeh, it’s defo Spotify. Never used to be an issue.

I believe the installed software is different between US and UK cars ... I think it will be very obvious if OP is on Spotify or not.

Defo Spotify, all my voice requests for music default through Spotify, even if I say something like “play Metallica through Apple Music” it’ll still give me Spotify and only the one song.

I've also have seen this change in the latest Spotify software. Hopefully it will get fixed sometime...

maybe by default it switches to "Metallica radio"?

It’s something similar. Just says Metallica and related artists. Didn’t used to do that though. Just want it to play music from the artist I requested. Annoying.

If it is using the default Spotify, then I have to assume that it is the free Spotify service. The free service doesn't give you the ability to pick songs. It's the paid service that does that.

I prefer the 'radio' behaviour. I switched to Spotify at home as it's a nice way to find new (to me) music.

If you have Premium Connectivity you also get a proper Spotify account* on the car (like I said, different to US cars).

*Though its a full independent account it isn't transferable to use on your other devices. If you already have a Spotify account then you can use that instead of course.

It’s vehicle account through Tesla Premium Connectivity. Used this for 3 years, never as issue.
