This latest update added a shuffle and repeat button to the Android Auto interface, which is cool I guess, but it removed the rating star! Now I have to dangerously unlock my phone and pull up the app to rate a song when I find one I like - NOT ideal. This is a MUCH more frequently used mid-playback function than toggling shuffle/loop on or off should ever be.
Please, for the sake of everyone’s safety, bring back the star!
I believe this was due to a change in Android Auto itself; we’re looking into it.
Thanks Elan, you guys are on the ball, as always! I had a feeling it was due to a change on the Android side (esp with all the changes in prep for 12’s launch), cause it definitely didnt make sense from a UX design standpoint.
I was able to reproduce this once, but when I played a different track/album things were back to normal.
Does the Favoriting star never show?
That’s correct, it never shows, no matter how many songs I go into the playlist.
What if you start playing a new album or radio from the Android Auto interface?
Tried it this morning, and it briefly flashes on the screen for a moment right at the beginning of playback, but then disappears. It kinda looked like it got shifted off the screen by the other icons when they loaded a split second after. I skipped through a few songs and it didn’t seem to flash on the screen any more after the first song.
Is the overflow (vertical “…”) available in that scenario and the star is accessible in there?
OK, so for me, if only downloaded items are accessed or only skip backward and forward in the existing queue after connecting AA I can end up in a state where the overflow/star rating and other extra actions never show.
Working on a fix 
Thanks for fixing this, everything looks great again!
