My Question or Issue

For the past couple months I've been experiencing sporadic "stuttering" or ~1 second pauses in playback, but only when playing in my car (via bluetooth). I've had the same phone and car for years, so I don't understand why this problem is starting now. All the music I'm playing is downloaded to my phone. No issues when listening with bluetooth headphones. Any suggestions for troubleshooting?

Thanks!

Hey @kkc1,

Sorry to see you've been experiencing playback issues in your car!

Have you tried re-pairing the Bluetooth connection between your phone and the vehicle?
If the issue only occurs in there, it's possible that this could fix things up 🙂

Keep us posted on how things go!

P.S. In case the playback doesn't come back to normal after this, please take a look if the issue is isolated to Spotify or if other apps are being affected as well. Many thanks 🙌🏼
