Dear Spotify (Mod)!
I also have this problem. I re-installed the Spotify App several times after clearing out all directories. After installing I choose External SD Card as the cache location.
I manage to do so, but after some days (this varies!) the app just "decides" the cache will be at the internal memory of the phone. I checked everywhere on the forum how to change this (sudden, since january) behaviour. A lot of complaints or parts of solutions.
- No, I did not merge these 2 memories to be a joint memory
- Yes, I cleared all com.spotify directories on the phone before reinstalling
- Yes, I tried another SD Card
- Yes, it did work for some days as it should (Offline modus while in another country)
- Yes, It makes a new directorie(s) by itself and greys out the option I had before to choose the EXT SD card.
- No, I the app does not recognise its own directories after reinstall, there are just dead bytes suddenly. (Other apps do that quit easily, you should know that)
- Yes, the Spotify App has the same behaviour, when you move the app to the SD Card (Where it worked flawless by the way, until it moved itself over again to the internal memory.)
- AND NO I don't like this!! As I am not be able to use the offline function in the car while driving in another country with romaing off for financial reasons.
I have more then 3 GB worth of songs that I woudl like to play at any time. But I can't!
Well I can, but then my regular internal memory is full.
It used to be good, after Android changed the SD restrictions some years ago.
Now it is just inreliable! It must be your app this time...
Please tell me what to do Spotify, as this is a feature you promote and we all pay for!
