Android Auto Introduces a Player for Spotify and YouTube Music
Recently, Android Auto received fixes addressing audio and Wi-Fi connectivity issues. Now, it’s rolling out a new music player for popular streaming services like Spotify and YouTube Music. Spotted by 9to5Google, this update promises a more user-friendly music experience. Here are the details:
Android Auto Revamps Its Music Player
The new music player adopts a refreshed look inspired by Google’s Material You design. Instead of displaying a blurred version of the current album cover as the background, the player dynamically changes based on the dominant color of the album art.
This feature became available following last week’s Android Auto 13.4 update and is now officially rolling out to users.

As shown above, button arrangements may vary, but icons and colors maintain a consistent visual style. Additionally:
- Album cover repositioning: The album artwork has moved from the center to the left side, allowing more room for the track progress bar.
- Offline indicator: A new icon shows whether music is available offline.
- Google’s new font: The updated music player uses Google’s latest typeface, aligning with the system-wide design language.
These updates hint at Android Auto’s upcoming Car Media enhancements, which aim to integrate more deeply with vehicle hardware, enabling better control and access to features like radio signals and other improvements.
