Question for Android users who use bluetooth for music

[troutspinner]

Are you able to use your "Browse" button on your head unit to browse tracks while listening to audio over bluetooth?

I could do this with my iPhone, no issues, it showed the 3k+ songs but with my S10E I cannot. I can hit the tracks button and see 1000 songs IF I am using Google Music as my default player on my device. Other players don't let me see any tracks.

This is not to be confused with AA, that works fine as expected but sometimes you don't want to plug in on a 4 minute run to get coffee.

Crickets? No one uses bluetooth audio?

I'm not sure. I always just use the Amazon app on my phone.

I've only used Android Auto. The audio quality seemed much better doing it that way.

Funny you said that. I noticed audio quality being better using YouTube music.

I used to use bluetooth with my android phone, but only with Pandora which of course is limited in selection.
It did seem to have lower quality sound too.

Yeah, if I'm going for a ride, AA it is but as I mentioned, I was just curious for those quick rides to get a coffee. Bluetooth 5.0 sounds pretty darn good though.

FWIW, I've discovered that the reason the bluetooth interface for iPhone works so seamlessly is because it is easy to program to, iPhone uses one app, period. In the android world, there are hundreds of different music players and no standard for radio manufacturers to program to. I've tried about 10 different players and they all seem to have their pros and cons. Currently staying with Pulsar, works for all of my needs, in and out of the car.
