Missing Spotify

Just got my 330e last week. All is good, apart from Spotify has disappeared from my Media list. It was there to begin with - I think it disappeared once I had configured Connected Music. The odd thing is, it still appears on my wife's profile.
I've been through the menu and it is ticked on the personalised menu list to be visible - but it's just not there.
It's not the end of the world; carplay is working and I have spotify on there. It's just bugging me!
Any thoughts?
Cheers.

You can't be signed in to Connected Music as well as Spotify. Sign out of Connected and Spotify should reappear.

I agree - that should do it

I had the same problem. This worked for me! Love the Spotify integration.

The one disappointing thing for me is that when I accept an incoming telephone call, Spotify continues to roll through the playlist in the background. I'd been waiting for that song all journey 😭

Can't have everything I suppose, but I totally agree the integration is first class 👍🏻

The one thing I don’t like about it is that it does not remember my shuffle setting and I have to reapply it at the start of each journey. Other than that, it’s great.

I've been having the same problem with Spotify on my 330e lately, and it's driving me nuts too. I think it's definitely bugging a lot of us here. I don't have the same access to Spotify with the Connected Music feature, but I upload all my own music, so I still get the same kind of experience. I usually promote my own music and tunes through Streampot – they have a great platform for helping independent artists get heard and discovered. Check them out at https://streampot.com/ if you wanna see how they work.I'm sure there's a way that we can get Spotify back on the media list. Let's see what we can figure out together

I’m finding the various ‘made for you’ daily playlists will often start to shuffle, even if shuffle is switched off. PITA, but also a bit of a first world problem.

I took delivery of a new 330e 2 weeks ago and in the last week Spotify in the car has behaved terribly. On most drives it just stops or won’t play a next track.

I have done a full reboot, logged out and back in, you name it, but no improvement.

Anyone else experiencing the same?

How’s the signal in the car using it’s own SIM (shown at the top of the idrive screen in ID7, presume it’s the same place in ID8). Perhaps you live in a dodgy area, or maybe the vehicle hasn’t had the antenna connected properly.

I don't actually use a 330e, so I haven't run into this Spotify issue myself, but I've heard about similar quirks with tech before. Sometimes, a clean reinstall of the app can do wonders, so it might be worth a shot. Additionally, I’d like to mention that I use Spotify not just to enjoy music but also to promote my own tracks. It's such an incredible platform to reach a global audience and connect with fellow music enthusiasts. I've been writing tracks and utilizing reliable services to reach potential fans around the world, and it's been an incredible experience. My goal is to get added to as many Spotify playlists as possible to expand my audience and share my music with even more people.

I had an issue once, lost Spotify and just couldn't get it back. Deleted my profile and then reloaded it. Still wouldn't work because I had ticked "sync data" when reloading it. When unticked, it worked a treat. Had to reprogramme the 1-8 buttons, but that's no great issue. Not sure I used "saved stations" on the DAB at that stage, but guess they might get lost as well.
