Android Auto (-) 

Bit of a gripe post here, but Google seems to have partially broken their voice commands intentionally for business reasons. "Play X by Y" now kicks out "You need to have an active google play music subscription to do that, but here's a station based on that!" which immediately starts playing. This despite the mp3 being on the phone and in the library. You now have to say "Play X by Y from my library" for it to figure out WTF to do.

Bonus points: It apparently finally supports "Repeat song" or "Repeat album", but blocks that based on a subscription too??? WTF?

@IrisKalmia It's so dumb that I can't honestly imagine this is intentional, but how they didn't catch this in testing is beyond me.
