Ratings and reviews

Probably honestly exactly what i want. But, i don't use Spotify, i don't want to, the app only works with Spotify. This doesn't make any sense to me, i should be able to register a default app based on my preference and subscription purchases. I'm not using Spotify, I won't be using Spotify. Allow me to set default apps. Man, I'm a sony kid, but, the eay they think the world wants to function ain't it. You're not apple, stop trying to be.

It's a nice concept but it doesn't support Apple music or YouTube music. Not everyone uses Spotify. If a user pays top dollar for good quality ear buds they obviously care about audio quality and Spotify is not the choice for audiophiles. You've missed the point, Sony!

App sounded like a decent improvement but honestly is more of a hassle than anything. Starting music automatically only sometimes work and it sometimes randomly wants to change the playlist you start for no good reason. The notifications are read out mostly with a large delay and there is no option to change languages.
