Bluetooth pairing, Siri and iOS 8.0.2 kill all my AC / DC songs

I have to say that [Siri->siri-witze] always inspires me. But sometimes the aunt is annoying "like Hulle", as our junior always likes to say. In the current case, it has actually managed to kill my entire AC/DC collection on the iPhone 8.0.2 in complex interaction with a Bluetooth pairing that is in progress and iOS 6. In practice, the whole thing looked like I told Siri "Play songs from AC/DC". Then she acknowledged, as always, “Acdc/Acdc will be played back randomly”. Meanwhile I have mine Terratec Mobile Boost Bluetooth roaring cube already switched on and somehow it created so much confusion for iOS that it unceremoniously displayed all the AC / DC titles in a very strange way.

You can see on the screenshot that next to all titles there is the “stop playing” sign. But nothing was played. When I then tapped a title by hand, a loading bar came up, but it didn't continue. The end result was that I couldn't play virtually anything from AC/DC anymore because it shuffled all the AC/DC titles. All other artists were unaffected by this strange bug.

Now please don't ask me why I'm telling this story for the best. I'm not sure myself, but I strongly suspect that there is a bug in iOS 8.0.2. Certainly not the only one that is still available in this version number. :)

But there is still a happy ending to the story: After I hooked the iPhone 6 to my iTunes via [USB cable-> lightning-usb-cable], it synchronized diligently and then all the tracks were running again. I can only say: It's a long way to the top, if you wanna rock'n roll!
