My Question or Issue

 So as soon as I pause a song outside of the app, whether in my notification bar or my lock screen, the Spotify player disappears. This is very annoying. I will pause my music for less than a minute and come back to my phone just to see that the player is gone causing me to have to go back into the app to start my music again. The app also closes at random and while when I reopen Spotify it is still on the same song, it will have restarted. This is honestly all frustrating.
