[BUG] Android Auto can't view artists list or long playlists

• Load the first 500 in the list, have a basic “next” button at the bottom
• Allow browsing content by first alphabet letter, like you could in the web interface. You could still run in to issues IE if you have more than 500 artist names that start with “A”, so this would have to be done in conjunction with #1, and the overall experience would be much better.
• A search box on the top music library page. We seriously could use this anyway.

These are good suggestions but unfortunately AA integration doesn’t allow some of them. For example, we cannot provide a next button or any other way to perform more than 1 request per screen. AA already implements search, available through the voice integration.

We are trying to find the best way to provide such content in the best way possible having in mind the limitations of the integration.

Thanks

@jesusmc - since this issue has been happening for quick some time, and there seems to be no clear path forward to a resolution, do you think it would make sense to temporarily revert to whatever AA logic version 7.10.0.8875 was using? 7.10.0.8875 has no problem displaying long lists, and even if it is using older or deprecated Google/AA features, that seems a better alternative to me than just having AA functionality be completely broken in the release version of the app.
