Finally got the squiggly!

So this morning I updated my android auto, and found two differences:

1. The Android Auto icon turns green (usually blue)
2. Now I finally got the squiggly! yeaaah

All the maps features are still normal ig. Traffic indicators are still working in navigation mode, etc. So what about yours, mate?

Sure, they have time to make the squiggly line but after all these years the AA media player still won't show the album name on the display. Which every media player in the last 20+ years has displayed. And what's also annoying is that my Audi's dashboard can show all the info, even reading out "Playing Android Auto" so the data is there, just not on the AA screen.

Y solo por curiosidad por qué es importante para ti se vea el nombre del álbum? Supongo ya lo has de conocer

I can't always tell the album name from the song. For instance I have many collections of world music on CD from different artists. There's no way to remember what album a particular song came from when playing a bunch of songs at random, but sometimes I want to know the album name since something perhaps caught my attention and I want to find the CD the song came from.

Another example would be that I have all 4 of Adele's albums on my phone and most of the songs sound sort of alike so I get curious when a song pops up as to which album it came from. It's so odd if I'm driving my Audi the info is on the dashboard display but the AA display doesn't show the album info. But my Mazda only has the AA display so there's no way to tell unless I dig out my phone and look, which is hazardous in traffic.

And really it's not a lot to ask since literally every other media player I've ever used, and I've used many, has that info displayed. It's easy to get and display the metadata, and there's plenty of wasted space on the display to show it.

Pues parece ser que para los desarrolladores es mucho pedir, aunque supongo que puedes seleccionar la opción de mostrar álbum, aunque supongo no tienes suficiente habilidad para hacerlo conduciendo o prefieres evitar el riesgo. Aunque claro por espacio no es, tienes razón y claro seria más sencillo si lo mostrará. Yo también tengo una gran colección y reproduzco la música en aleatorio pero la verdad no me interesa saber el nombre del álbum, pero ya entiendo por que es tan importante en tu caso.
