My Question or Issue

I am using the Spotify Android App to control playback on my Desktop PC. However, whenever I skip a song using the mobile device, it shows a different song and becomes out of sync (The desktop device switches to the next song as expected, the mobile device to a random one like in shuffle mode).

 

This issue seems to not happen when using shuffle mode or when at least one web-browser instance of Spotify is active.

Any Ideas how to fix that? (Already reinstalled the App on the Android and Desktop device)

Hey @CreepCrafter04,

 

Thanks for posting in the Community and the troubleshooting already tried.

 

Could you rule out network related issues between the mobile and desktop app by using a hot spot from the mobile device for the desktop device?

 

Does using a different mobile device bring different results? How about a different Spotify account?

 

Keep us posted,

 

Cheers!
