Songlist dissapeared in Garmin Connect

Hi!

With 2.4, Connect showed a list off songs I ran to. With 2.48, it doesn't.

Anyone else experienced it?

Another question:
How can I control music on my phone like on the Fenix 5 (without music). For example if im showering after a training, I listen to Spotify via the audio system in the bathroom and could switch songs or control the volume from under the shower.

Didn't phase me either way about the song titles, what is annoying though is why didn't they put this in the changelog. Would have saved some investigations from end users..

I hadn't noticed the song list being missing, but I just went to check and you are right, my Tuesday run has the song list and my runs after Tuesday do not.

I hope this isn't a permanent change to Connect, I really liked this feature.
Would have been even better if it was linked to time/km.

Experienced the same with latest Forerunner 645m update. I found that track title data are not even stroed to .fit files any more, so it's not just GC not showing, but the watch not saving them at all. Someone speculated it may have to do with privacy issues?

why privacy issues? It was always private on connect?

That's true, it is and alway was private on connect. However, if you share a .fit file with someone or upload it to garmin, they may need to have (according to some strict rules in some countries) your explicit consent to store this personal information (who listend to what soundtrack at what place and time, all this data was in a .fit file...) on their servers. Just speculation, but I've seen few people complaining. I would have wished they just added the agreement to their contracts.

The new data privacy policie is online, storing the track list is mentioned, so it should be working.
