Android’s Audio Annoyances
For a long time, the main difference between Android and iOS was polish. Both systems offered roughly the same basic features, but iOS just did them better. Scrolling was smoother, the visual design was more consistent, the keyboard worked way better, and so on. While the difference is still there today, it is much less noticeable than it once was. But there are still pockets of awfulness in Android, and one of these pockets is how it deals with audio.
Isn't one of the new things in Android 5.0 a completely revamped audio system? I mean, it'll probably be 2-3 years before the majority of people have their hands on it, but at least they're doing something.
