Spotify/Deezer - songs restart from the beginning

I'm having the same issue via spotify and deezer (the ones built into idrive).

When ever I get back in the car and start it, the song that was last playing (e.g. stopped 1 minute into the track) restarts from the beginning.

It is really irritating as I am in and out multiple times a day.

I am on the latest OTA software (updated around 6 weeks ago via the app). It happened on the previous software too.

Anyone know any fixes? Already tried the 'soft' idrive reset where you hold the power button down for 20 seconds.

I'm experiencing the same issue. Running 11/2019.70 (OTA update). I don't recall it being an issue before the OTA update.

I also have another annoying issue with the Spotify app where it doesn't remember the "shuffle" option. Every time I start the car shuffle is not selected eventhough it was selected when the car was shut off.

Just got my car back from the dealer. They updated iDrive to 07/2020.60. I was hoping this would fix the Spotify bug, but it didn't.

Looking for some help. Picked new car up today and cannot find the Deezer app to allow me to log on. Any ideas.

It may be disabled as the Deezer & Napster integration is apparently ending in November. I got this email from BMW:

We would like to keep you up to date with some changes we are making to your BMW Connected Music service that may affect you. From 11 November 2020, access to services from Deezer and Napster will no longer be available through BMW Connected Music. Access via Spotify accounts will remain unchanged. Deezer and Napster services can continue to be streamed through your BMW by using your smartphone via Bluetooth Audio or by using Smartphone Integration.

Which is disappointing because Spotify has even more bugs than Deezer in my car!
