Changing tracks without my will

garra741 — Tue, 06 Feb 2018 06:56:31 GMT

For approximately a week now Spotify has been pausing my songs, skipping songs midway and changing albums to some weird music i've never touched before. It keeps changing album every two minutes.

Hey @garra741

It seems that your account has been broken into. Don't worry, you can get it back. 🙂

Just read and follow the steps in this article!

I recommend using a strong password with numbers, letters and symbols, like %@# and similar.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the help even though I strongly do not believe that my account has been broken into as the password is really complicated including not only letters and number but some symbols too.

@garra741

Did you try the article out?

I'd also recommend going here and revoke access to everything you do not need nor recognise.

It's very good you have a strong password. 🙂

I feel like revoking access for these applications will fix it as i don't recognize a few of them. And i did not use the article as i didn't recognize my problem in the examples that the article offered.

The picture shared is one of the songs that spontaneously starts playing from that weird album.

@garra741

I do recommend following the article as it's the single best way to get rid of issues like that. 🙂
True, you don't seem to have issues described in the article, but what you're experiencing also sounds very much like your account has been accessed to.

There have been some other people with similar issues too (song playback suddenly switching to strange stuff like Drill Beats), they got their issue cured with the help of the article.

Alright two days later it hasn't stopped, against my will i'll change the password and see.
