Well, I can play my songs now, but I still can't play them over Bluetooth. All I ever get is the error "Another app is controlling the audio". Anyone know how to fix this?

Back to this again. I have the same problem, which showed up a couple of builds ago. A soft reset should fix it but as soon as you advance a track while connected to Bluetooth, the error pops up again. I've found that leaving Groove for a few minutes may also fix it, though not reproducibly. Similarly, if you disconnect your Bluetooth device and reconnect it, sometimes that fixes the problem.

Does your Gadgets app work? I'm curious whether that may be somehow interfering. I'm debating a hard reset to see if that addresses the problem.

Yeah, I tried the soft reset and got one track. It seems just switching to a second track, whether by pressing next or just letting it advance automatically at the end of the song triggers the error. I haven't tried disconnecting and reconnecting the device yet. I'll try that later.

My gadget's app hasn't worked properly for several builds now. Initially, it showed all of my devices (my band, my stereo, a Bluetooth speaker I used and 2 wired headsets). Now, the only thing it seems to register is my Nokia DT-910 charging stand.
