Apple music always plays the same song at the top of your songlist every single time.

Whenever I plug my phone into my car and have the auto play feature on, Apple Music always plays the same song that sits at the top of my music library. This happens with everyone, for me the song is A.D.H.D. By Kendrick Lamar. It will play whatever song starts with ‘A’ or is the top of your alphabetically ordered song library.

Yes, I get that I can turn off the auto-play feature so that songs stop automatically playing whenever the phone is plugged in.

Thiss does not solve my problem. I actually like the auto play feature. What I want, and what I believe the entire apple community wants is for Apple Music to shuffle my music and keep the shuffle feature on just as you can keep the auto play feature on. Why does the music app reset all the time? There is no telling when the app resets itself and turns off the shuffle feature. I want a natural experience of hopping into my car and turning on the radio to a random song that’s playing, not the same cringy opening lyrics every time.

iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16

I am in the exact situation… with the same exact song!!!

like I just want to listen to my youtube music library,, but literally after every single song it just instantly switches back to my itunes playlist and starts playing that same **** song!!!


Also, other than that… Whenever it’s playing an ad, when it is finished or another one comes up it does the same thing in between anything and everything and i am extremely sick and tired of it happening!!!!


I just want to listen to youtube music in my car peacefully without having to constantly be getting distracted while driving having to hit play every single **** time!!!

I’ve have had too many close calls almost wrecking my car or on my motorcycle when it happens because i don’t want to listen to nirvana anymore or ever again because of this.


Anyhow,, if you ever figured out any way of getting it to stop, please message me back with the info or details.


Because you already know exactly how much it sucks, just like i do. So hopefully we could possibly figure out a solution.


Thanks!

I have had the same car and car stereo for the last 10 years. I have had the same iPhone for the last 4 years. This was never an issue before. It started about two weeks ago. Every time I plug my phone into my stereo it now always begins with Van Halen's "A.F.U. (Naturally Wired)". There is no reason to contact Toyota or JVC. This very clearly began after the last iOS update. I leave my phone on shuffle, but it always starts with the same song every time I plug it in. Incredibly frustrating!
