Hey my sister uses my account which I'm more than happy for her to do as she's a student, but we both cannot listen at the same time. If I try to put a song on it stops her music and vice versa. Is there an easy way to fix this and I'm just being stupid?

I had the same question and found the answer in a specific Q&A.  The text from that Q&A is copied below.   Basically, you both need to have a subscription if you are both going to be using it at the same time.

Spotify is licensed for personal use and can only be played from one device at a time. Check you’re not playing Spotify anywhere else, then click play to resume.

Hey guys welcome to the community 🙂

As @BigDaddy mentioned, this is normal. To play spotify at the same time on both devices you will need 2 subscriptions. 

This is because spotify is licensed for personal use, which means it is in theoretical even disallowed to play spotify in a public area like in a store.
