Check with your cellular phone provider. Mine doesn't count music streaming from several providers (including Spotify and Pandora) against my data usage. Apple music isn't one of those, nor is the SiriusXM app.

[QUOTE=synergize;25646889]Sure, when at home and listening to Spotify when you "Like" a song by pressing the "Heart" next to the song it will place that song in "Your Library."

I usually have The Data on my phone turned off and Spotify will tell you that it is Offline, you don't have to have Data tuned off, it will work either way! Apple Music works the same way, you can save Data charges by downloading your Music rather than streaming it all the time. It works really good in Spotify and Apple Music, actually almost identical. Does your car have wireless CarPlay or do you connect with a cable, it works either way!

@synergize Thanks for the instructions. Worked as stated and I'm using Spotify now without issues. I do have the wireless CarPlay so it's even better. Thanks again.

This is my first experience with Apple Music in the Audi, previously I used Spotify and it was absolutely flawless. Do I need to give iTunes/ Apple Music some time to adjust, this is the first time I used it ios 18 supported devices list. I don't understand how a non-Apple App (Spotify) performed better than an Apple App. You would think it would be vice-versa? Thanks for any info.
After a recent update for my 2020 Model X, every time I pull up Spotify or Apple Music I get a QR code asking me to log in. I’ve tried resetting the screen and restarting the car, but it still happens. Anyone have a solution?
