OK - so I just investigated. I saw a comment in the above posts - maybe it is an iphone vs android issue ?
I don't have an iphone, but I do have an ipad, on which the software has just been updated to 17.5.1. And I have a Zumo 595, and a power supply for a bike cradle and a set of BT headphones.
This is what I get if I connect the Android to the Zumo 595

Spotify is open and running - but it isn't making a connection to the Android phone. The box will not accept a tick. It removes it and fails.
If I connect the Ipad to the 595, Spotify works OK. (Click the image for a clearer version)

Screenshots, left to right.
Track playing and image obtained from spotify. The menu button has text links to my favourites, recents, Library, etc. All of the stuff gleaned from my spotify account. Click one and it starts playing that selected list.
The BT connections. It doesn't actually have a phone connected, but it has the ipad which is capable of taking a SIM card - so it thinks that there is aphone connected. GLINBBT18 is my cheapo bluetooth headset that I use for testing Zumo functions. It has some smartphone services operating - but I didn't check which.
The 'Applications' section in the last screen doesn't appear when the Android is connexted. Smartphone link has been setup, but I didn't enable it for this screen shot. And Spotify appears in this list as connected.
So it appears as though the Android Spotify App is the thing that is causing the issues, as it is working as it should with my iPad.
Have owned Zumo 550, 660 == Now have Zumo XT2, XT, 595, 590, Headache
Use Basecamp (mainly), MyRouteApp (sometimes), Competent with Tread for XT2, Can use Explore for XT - but it offers nothing that I want !
