Spotify iOS automatically plays as soon as the app is started. At least, it does when connected to bluetooth. No way to disable. That was reason enough for me to delete Spotify.
I use Apple Music which is marginally better but not great for anyone who like to rewind and hear passages of music again. It’s also difficult to stay on album view.
Both apps are total pants for classical music as well. Apple acquired a player in that field but I’ve yet to see any improvement to Apple Music on that front.
- toofy 4y agowhat issues do you have with rewinding? long press and drag will seek forward and back. the classical issue is one i’ve heard a few times, i’ve heard from a few different places that apple has been doing a ton of work in integrating whatever tech they got from the primephonic buyout — i don’t know enough about classical, but classical lovers are rabid about how great primephonic was. between the upcoming windows apple music player and the work they’ve been doing to integrate the primephonic stuff, i suspect apple has been playing the long game.
- vjulian 4y agoOn Apple Music, I believe I need to be in Album View in order to drag the currently playing music’s timeline. Depending on the path I took to get the music playing, Album View may not be visible or simple to get to. If there’s another place other than Album View where I can rewind or fast forward, I’m not aware of it. I’ll need to explore that. In general, I take an album-oriented approach when listening. If Apple is playing the long game and becomes classical music friendly, I’ll be happy.
