Spotify Improvements
Spotify has been updated to make it easier to find and play content from your library, which now also includes collaborative playlists and podcasts. With gapless playback, you can enjoy playlists without disruption in between tracks. A Spotify home tab has been added to help you discover new content which is customized based on your listening preferences. Spotify also syncs with other devices that are logged in, making it easier to control what is playing in the car from the Spotify mobile app.
Media Search Improvements
The media search results are now re-arranged for easier viewing. Results now also display based on the media source you are actively using, highlighting and making it more convenient to find what you are looking for.
Search results when searching for specific items via voice have also been improved to show you more of what you are looking for.
Media Sources
You can now show or hide your preferred media sources in the Media Player. Go to the Audio Settings> Sources to hide the sources that you do not use. Media search results will also exclude all hidden media sources.
