Are you stating Google Assistant is automatically starting up when you start the Spotify app?
If so, go into your Settings >> Apps menu, find and open the Spotify app entry, and look in its 'open by defaults' option. Use Clear defaults if needed as maybe the Spotify app was inadvertently linked to trigger Google Assistant.

Interestingly, all I did was hook the phone to my car bring up Google Maps and travel a little bit, and when I disconnected the phone all the settings were back to normal.

Do you have a job, @suad176? Assume you put in a 40-hour week, laboring under the impression that you'll be compensated for your efforts, since you've chosen to work for pay, not volunteer your time. Now your employer decides not to issue your paycheck. Are you good with not getting paid for your work?

But as noted, Apple haven't sold DRM-protected music for a decade so it's only old files which will have this issue (and I'll bet you can download an DRM-free version from Apple: I know they allowed that when they first removed the DRM from the iTunes store).

Android plays aac format music just fine, so no need for actual format conversion.

"Big tech company only supports its own proprietary solution" is unfortunately an everyday tale, and one that's not limited to Google.

Mind you I don't understand the comment about copy: long press is the equivalent of right click(*), then you can adjust the selection and choose cut/copy/paste as desired.

(*) though I find "right click" confusing as it assumes you are using a particular handedness of mouse, and not the one I most commonly use. "Secondary button" would be more universal.

manually.....i'm guessing. everyone is kind of in the same boat as you as far as using YT music. i did something with play music and yt music, but i do not remember what it was. i need to start playing with yt music more.

Development thread moved to the dev area for better exposure. Good luck!!

Check under the More Camera Settings

Thanks, but see the link to their FAQs. I can name a folder but it doesn't say Internal or SD Card storage like on my stock camera app.
I was sure I had Open Camera saving to SD Card and the regular app to the phone, bur it must be the other way around. I never look at my photos anyway

See:

This is an old thread, but I ha e found a great free and ad-free screen orientation app that solves this issue.

It can lock your screen into any position, and forces any app to obey the same.
