Apple Music on Android

I am unable to use Apple music on my Google pixel after the latest update. Very frustrating considering that I have tons of music and I pay a monthly service. Any idea if/when an update will be coming to enable usage for devices that are up-to-date?

Same issues with me on a Nexus 6P and my Mazda. Every other song pauses and I have to skip to the next song to make it work again. On my other car (Toyota) it doesn't pause (for every other song), but the song info (title, album, artist) for every other song doesn't show on the car display. So, it looks like for every other song the info isn't being sent to the car unit and my Toyota powers through it but my Mazda it stops/pauses. This doesn't happen with Google Play Music, Pandora or Spotify so I would think Apple could figure this out....but probably won't.

I'm having issues too! For many many months now my music would randomly pause, say once every few times when connected and playing via bluetooth in my car. But over the last week or so it now pauses every one to two songs! It is incredibly frustrating. I thought maybe my Pixel was now having bluetooth issues with my car, but I've tested both Google Music and Spotify and neither of these have any issues playing any amount of songs while connected to my car. Really annoying since that's where I use Apple Music the most!

Same here... Switched from iPhone 7 to Google Pixel 2 and Apple Music is being super frustrating to use. I'm used to auto-playing songs when the iPhone connected to my car's stereo, but this doesn't happen with Apple Music on Pixel, while Google Play Music works fine. On top of that, I also have issues while playing: the playback can stop for some reason and can't be resumed from my car's controls, could be continued only by opening the app on the phone itself and tapping play. I also have a strange bug with displaying song info on the car's screen: the info displays nice at first, but only for 2 or 3 songs and than it disappears. I was so frustrated that I even tried to switch from Apple Music to Google Play, but I have a rather large library and none of migration services (like Stamp, Soundiiz) were able to transfer my songs.


I really hope Apple would address those issues.
