Downloaded songs not playing on Android

sterlincochran — Mon, 03 Mar 2014 18:47:55 GMT

I have Spotify Premium and the android app. I have download a playlist of Black Keys songs. The songs below will not play audio, the seconds will count as if the song is playing. At the end of these songs it will not continue on the the next song, it just stops as if it's at the end of a playlist. It happens no matter if it's set on shuffle or not. The same songs play on my computer, and are dowloaded. The songs are from different albums. I have tried a few things to get these to work. I have reinstalled the app, created a new playlist, and most recently I replaced my phone, so that was a new install, download and device. None of this worked. Does anyone else have issues similar to this? How do I or Spotify fix it?

NOTE, I have other downloaded playlist that work with no issues.

Thanks,

Sterlin

Black Keys Songs:

Oceans and streams

Lies
Things ain't like they used to be
Goodbye Babylon
Elevator
I'll be your man
Breaks
Run me down
She said she said
The moan
No fun
Have love will travel

Cant say ive ever had this issue but do they play fine when you are listening online without them downloaded?

Do you have those tracks as local files imported into Spotify on your computer?

No, they are all downloaded from Spotify.

I think I have even tried to stream them before downloading the playlist. I have them in another play list I try to stream them.

They don't work in the streamed playlist either. Is it possible for file for be corrupted? They play on my computer, so if they are corrupted the streaming for android would have to be from different files and or servers right?

It is possible they are corrupted in the cache on your android device. It might be worth trying a clean reinstallation and see if you get the same issues after?

I tried that. See the original post, this is the second phone I have installed spotify on. Both have had the same issue on the same songs. Also I factory set this phone two weeks ago for mic issues. So that was another complete new install. I don't think the issues are related to my device.

Does anyone or can anyone try listening to a couple of the songs on their android device?

Thanks,

I had the exact same issue. See my answer in another thread as to how I resolved it:
