I'm glad newish android versions have a "allow sound from multiple sources" option, now nothing can stop anything I'm listening to but myself. Before this only Podcast Addict had an option to ignore media pause requests from other apps.

Fuck that, I'm the one in control, I decide when my music stops. When an app does this, it is removed.
I also hate it when an app on my pc thinks it needs to be pulled up in front of the screens I'm working in. I haven't found a way to fix this yet. When you need my attention, send me a notification instead of annexing my entire screen.
When I open Kodi and click on another screen right after clicking it's icon, it opens in the background so it can scan for new media while I finish what I was doing. Like it's supposed to. I click on it whenever I want the screen to be on top.
I hate it when something takes control over something I own. Which is why I'm leaving windows. Can't wait for proper Linux phones. Fuck Microsoft, fuck Google. And no, not fuck Apple, sadomasochists need a place to buy their products too.

Only app I have that does this currently that I know of is fire emblem heroes. Open the app and it has the balls to stop me in the middle of listening to Hampster Dance, on my way to slay every single Lyn in existence.
Gacha games in general love doing this, they really think their bgm is so cool I would still listen to it after 3 years playing.
And it's just a shitty 16 bar loop?
IMO, the worst is pausing my media to play an ad in an unrelated application.
No matter what I try, I can't get my music to play over the ad. I can silence the ad, go to my player, hit play to resume the music, and as soon as I flip back to the app playing the ad, the music pauses. So I have three choices: uninstall this shit, listen to silence until the ad is over, or listen to the ad.
Either I pay for the app to have it without ads or I remove it. Both my pc and my phone are ad free. I watch YouTube without ads thanks to the grayjay app, which includes sponsor block. I removed Reddit when Boost stopped working for it. I don't watch sports because of all the ads. I live an ad free life.

For me it’s my grocery order app from HT Hackney. When I first installed it I could play my tunes while I did my order.
One day the “beep” started killing my music. Despite many complaints they’ve never fixed it.
In three weeks I’m self employed and it doesn’t matter anymore. Thank you Jeebus and Krishna!
Well fuck the ad.... So....
Cowabunga it is

Fuck you in particular, Microsoft website.
