On my pixel 6, I don't know what update changed this, but you have to tap the music symbol on the lock screen to get it to ID a song. I want it to listen all the time like it used to so I can no-hassle scrobble vinyl to last.fm. Any ideas?

But if I tap the lock screen icon it can ID anything including obscure black metal haha

Yes, because that's using Google's servers to identify the music. It's not offline anymore which is why it's not doing it by default.
