Issue

When listening to a smart playlist (like a Daily Mix), I encountered a strange issue where a song is repeating multiple times (in my case, 29 times in a row) before the playlist returned back to the normal, playing different songs.

I had this issue a few days ago before it happened again.

Hey @cinqdtun,

Thanks for reaching out.

To investigate this further, please let us know the following:

Your Spotify app version.
Have you noticed when this happens (e.g. when the playlist refreshes)?
Have you tried any troubleshooting steps like logging out and back in twice in a row or clean reinstalling the app?
Do you get the same behavior on the web player?

Keep us posted.

Hello, I uninstalled the client, reinstalled it, and saw the repeated songs. However, after clearing the list, the bug has not occurred again for now. I will keep you informed if this happens again.
