My Question or Issue

When I listen via the Spotify desktop app, in the middle of the song the music stops (But the progress bar continues) and there is a clicking sound in my headset. Sometimes it resumes for a few seconds and start again, most times it just stops and a message in a blue bar says "Can't play current song". The volume icons on my Touch Bar also blinks when the clicking sound is active.

I have a recording (With no sound, I filmed it with my headset on).

So I tried to turn off hardware acceleration like many suggests. It did not work.
I tried to fully remove Spotify from my Mac and reinstall it. Many suggested to delete some Spotify folders in the /Library folder, but I couldn't find any.
I also ran the rm -rf ~/Library/**/*spotify* command as one user suggested.

Any ideas?

Hey - I managed to solve it by doing a quick restart of my Mac. Of course I didn't do that before I posted here, silly of me.
