Do you remember the story about “A a a a a  Very Good Song”? * You are finally free from the first embarrassing song on your phone * A silent, 10-minute song is climbing the iTunes charts Despite its popularity back in the day the song did not really solve the problem of Apple CarPlay annoyingly starting to play the very first song in the music collection, when the phone was connected to the car. It postponed that annoyance problem until 10 minutes later, when one could be driving through a busy intersection.
