Normally the app always shuts down after 5 minutes or so when running in the background while using Connect, meaning not playing through the phone but on my Wifi speaker for example. I always have to start the app again in order to skip songs or do any other controls. Is there a way to force Spotify to keep running?
Thank you!

You mean this is not normal? I thought it was a normal behaviour of the app. Anyways thank you for looking into it! Sony xperia z1 compact, Android 5.1.1
PS: The app still shows up when I enter androids recent apps menu, but the controls disappear from the notification bar after app 5 min.
