I did say it had been a couple of years, and this was all true when I stopped using it a few years back.

  1. Yeah some album art is pretty distracting, especially when it goes from dark to light at a song switch. You can't tell me that I'm the only one that might distract while driving.

  1. Yes there's a global toggle, but if it is not to your liking, there's no way to take X song and boost it 20%.

  2. Per device as in per-bluetooth, not per-app. When you have bad car speakers but good headphones you might want wildly different EQs.

  3. If memory serves, I did try that. It still opened itself constantly. Most people probably aren't monitoring background activities on their phones, but it was like 15-30wakelocks/hr just to exist.

  4. This was with hq on. And automatic adjustment off. I can't describe it other than flat and crunchy but there's something to it, or at least there was in ~2021
