Have option to not interrupt music player for Waze alerts
I have navigation guidance off and prompts volume all the way down because I don't want to hear them. Yet, the Music Player is muted anyway, causing interruptions in my music enjoyment or to miss words in audiobooks. There should be a way for Waze to not interrupt the Music Player.

Great thinking! The issue you raised has been addressed in a recent redesign. Hope you like it!

Can you add an option to choose to not have my audio pause when Waze is giving an alerts so I can hear both simultaneously. Also, have a bit of distance between answer buttons as in is that car still on shoulders, yes/no I often will hit the wrong one if I hit a bump or something.

So the recent redesign added the button "Pause spoken audio" but this is not effective.
Even when we turn the switch off, it continues pausing the audio during announcements. -

When i use waze with Apple Carplay than the instructions almost fully mute my car music.
Please make a option to change this.

It's particularly annoying with music turned up for a favourite song when the music stops when I reach the speed limit. I know that I will hear Waze's beep if it is simply played over the music at the same volume. Waze's is still by far my favourite satnav app as I can't out-smart it like I can out-smart the two Navmans I've owned, Google Maps, and Tom Tom. Google Maps just plays over the music as has been suggested here, surely Waze can too. Otherwise Waze is an AWESOME app which avoids traffic

During announces, Waze mutes the other apps media volume, even when Waze uses the phone speaker and the media uses the Bluetooth.
With the Bluetooth latency, the sound is muted to late on the Bluetooth and if we're listening to an audio book, we lose much of the story, especially in town when announces are frequent.
Would it be possible to get a choice between:
- not muting the external sound
- current standard behavior
- *ACTUALLY PAUSING* the mediaOn top of this, actually compensating for the Bluetooth delay when the Waze announces are forced using the phone speaker would be great.
Thanks.

Rarely want my media to be paused or muted when I'm driving. Please give option to disable media/music/podcast pausing. Waze seems to incessantly pause my media when it's running.
