CarPlay - Amazon Music issues
Has anyone else got issues with amazon music on CarPlay? I find it all works really well in CarPlay but amazon music messes up in various ways:
1) it frequently hangs trying to load stuff. 2) it frequently says ‘this content is no longer available. 3) sometimes it just crashes. 4) many times I’ll choose a song from some list (eg recently played) but it’ll play a totally different song I know it had issues when we hadn’t downloaded the songs - since it was trying to stream them. But I’ve had all the above issues when I’ve got the playlist fully downloaded.... Is this a CarPlay fault or an amazon music or a phone issue?

I reckon it's Amazon Music.
I haven't tried it my car yet (I also have Apple CarPlay) as I have a Spotify premium account and Peter that; but regarding point 2 above, that is a message I also get - and used to get it my previous F10 also when using a normal USB connection. Funny thing is, I get/got that message every time I connect the car - either now via carplay or previously with the USB cable - even though I did not open the Amazon Music app... I think it is when they lose the streaming/licensing rights to particular tracks. So, even if it is there today, the song could be gone tomorrow... |

wondering if anyone has had a smooth experience with carplay and amazon music? If not then what music service does work well with carplay?
I found these issues have persisted in one way or another since we've had the car. Amazon doesn't play well with carplay but I find also the bbc iplayer radio app also has some issues. This leads me to think the issue is with carplay and not necessarily with the apps themselves...?

I tend to only use Spotify and Apple Music (for ripped CDs transferred to my iPhone via iTunes, I don't use the online/streaming service); both of which are fine.
Have a long motorway journey today so will try to have a play with Amazon Music and iPlayer to see if similarly affected. Although the missus might have an issue with me "continuously fiddling with things"... |
