Okay so I have tried the new version some, here are my results:
Play a playlist online with 3G (30 minutes): Worked.
Play a playlist online with wifi (20 minutes): Worked.
Download a playlist and play it while online with 3G (15 minutes): Worked.
Download a playlist and play it while online with wifi (15 minutes): Worked.
Download a playlist and play it while offline (10 minutes): Worked.
So far everything has worked for me, but I have not had time to do any excessive testing. I will test it more tomorrow but the initial tests look promising. I am sorry to hear that two of you have tried the new version without success though, so apparently they still need to take a good hard look at this issue.
By the way, I cleared the app data and uninstalled the preview version before installing the new version from the play store (in other words, i did NOT chose to upgrade it), since this was the way they told us to upgrade from the preview version earlier. Can more of you try and report here if it works for you or not?
Nope, I don't have Google Listen installed. It's also only happening in spotify. If I listen to mp3s on the stock music player it doesn't stop. 😞
I have a similar problem, and even without data enabled it always stops after a few minutes a first time (usually before the end of the first song).
It seems to go much better when I restart it.
Sad that this topic is marked as solved because of a cheesy workaround ...
I am having this problem. Even after the update on 6/18.
Also got the stop playing problem.
When online (3g / wifi) my downloaded playlist stops playing after 3-4 minutes and can't resume it, i must go back (back button) to that playlist to start it again. Most of the time it stays playing after the second start, occaisionaly it stops playing again.
When playing a not downnloaded playlist on 3g and wifi in online mode it stops playing randomly (arround 3-4 minutes). The playlist disapears and have to go back to the folder where the playlist is stashed to restart it. But it is quite useless since it stops again after a while.
I did an uninstall yesterday (after removing the cache and reinstalled it with v0.5.1.15, but that gave me no cure. I own a HTC Sensation with the ICS (4.0.3) upgrade.
I Never had problems with the old app besides sometimes the music stopped playing due to lost connection with offline (not downloaded) playlists.
Beside this problem i also got a problem with the playlist mentioned in an other topic.
I hope these anoying problems can be fixed soon. I have taken a premium account because i (want) to use it on mobile.
Hope to hear soon!
EDIT: The music also stops playing in the 'offline' mode.... so i think it can't be a connection problem only. I also forgot to mention that the app crashes a lot too, when going to offline mode, or after not using it a while.
I'm still having this issue as well after the 6/18 update. It doesn't matter if I'm on Wifi/3G or playing offline songs. After a few minutes, the music stops playing and all songs are wiped from my play queue. I have to hit the back button and start it again. Sometimes it will play through on the second attempt. But most times it does the same thing on few minutes after restarting the playlist.
I never had any issues with the preview version. I'd hate to revert to using it since I've organized all my playlists into folders and normally don't offline much music.
Just wanted to add my name to those who are seeing this error, even after the June 18 update (Galaxy S3, Android 4.0.4). I'm going to revert to the preview version until this bug is fixed!
I'm having this same issue. A couple of more details:
In order to get it to play out loud, I have to skip forward or backward and then back to the song that was playing silently.
I actually think there are two issues here:
I've seen people complaining about no sound on the 2nd song.
What I, and I believe most of the people in this thread, are experiencing, is the songs actually randomly stopping (the player does not continue moving and the playlist has disappeared).
This is the issue I'm seeing: The song actually randomly stops (the player does not continue moving and the playlist disappears)
Same issue here... Offline Playlists stop playing after 3G or HSDPA is disabled by JuiceDefender...
Galaxy S2, all updates.
Indeed - same problem on an HTC Desire HD (Froyo).
Frankly, Spotify is unusable for me at the moment, but I hope this is fixable and will be rectified soon.

Ugh, I thought the update fixed my problem, but nope.
Playing just stops, I loose the notification at the top of the screen that has the spotify icon and says what song is playing, sometimes it comes back, but playing doesn't resume. Sometimes the song goes back to the begining.

I do not have Google Listen.
Back to the old version, again.
Just want too add that I have the same problem on my galaxy s2 :(.
