I previously had a Galaxy s22 and had to do a factory reset. Backup was turned on, and everything  was reinstalled successfully but my music. For whatever reason, Google backup won't save my music. . I now have an A25 and I'm in the process of rebuilding my music library. I don't want this to happen again and I'm wondering how I get all my music added to the backup on my Google Drive.  Not only that, but where is all my music stored? I went into my files and looked at both the music and download file. Some of my songs are in those files, but not all of them Maybe about a third. I can't even transfer them over to my Chromebook if I don't know where they are located LOL.

Not sure how the free version of Spotify works on an iphone, but on my Galaxy I can make my own playlist using it. But I can't do that using the fire stick. However, when I play my playlists on the fire stick Spotify app it will let me play the songs in order and skip songs if I want to. But, like I said, the app on my Galaxy will only let me shuffle play and eventually just repeats the same songs. Go figure. I usually just use the free app on my phone to create my playlists and add and remove music. I use the app on my fire stick to listen to the music.

I can easily skip and have been always and get no ads. Try uninstall and then reinstall. I read that free tier doesn't allow skipping, so not sure why I can lol šŸ˜†

I just noticed that in the Samsung music app under Tracks, it gives a cumulative view of all songs, as well as location.

Side note, lol, I can not skip songs and now get ads any longer. However, I decided to subscribe to Spotify since it's integrated with Samsung. Did you get your music over okay.

I did, thank you. I just have to manually add them to my Google Drive rather than depend on the backup to do it. I don't listen to Spotify on my phone because of the fact that I can't skip songs with the free version. But, it works fine on my fire stick. When not listening to my own music, I prefer Pandora on my phone. The advertisements are 30 to 60 seconds long as opposed to Spotify which are always 2 minutes. Big difference!
