its apples feature, not ours, we just have a toggle to toggle it in musickit

that is a shame. I remember it used to be a big deal on the iPod touch 2, where it worked. I swear it doesn't even work on my iPhone anymore.

We tend to get very mixed usage with it, it only came to MusicKit.js around a couple of years back, it was one of the later features but we did have some users struggling with it, that's why we did add the toggle. Unfortunately it's just how apple does it, similar to other areas like shuffle and queue functionality, just messy
