Spotify folder corrupted my SD card on my Galaxy S5

[MIKEB315]

I have used the Samsung EVO SD cards all along. I had one card awhile back that started unmouting itself after using Spotify. I figured it was just a bad card so I ordered a new 64gb Samsung EVO min sd card. Again, same thing happened. The card had only been used for about 5 days and has never been in anything but my phone. I was using spotify and the card becomes corrupted.

I have tried running checkdsk and formatting. Windows cannot format it and checkdsk points to the spotify folder. After some investigating I found the folder that caused all this. It is at spotifycache>Storage>5b. Folder 5b is corrupted and is causing all the issues. Windows wont let me delete it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Baapkosky,

I hope you still check this thread...

Did this really work, class 4 card? Can you use 64Gb?

Doesn't it affect your cam?

I wrecked 4 - 5 cards (brand and generic) already with Spotify, always when moving storage from internal to sd card in the spotify app.

I am going to try your solution. Since Spotify is not coming up with one...

+1 for this thread. Absolutely the same issue, after spotify downloaded some more offline music, it corrupts the card.

Just yesterday I lost my 3rd sd card to this issue.

I am having the same, first with a 128gb SD card which went bad after spotify constantly redownloading my offline songs, and now with a 64gb card which is only 1 month old, SPOTIFY INDEED corrupts the whole card, making it unable to write. 

How is that even possible? 

Attached you can see the error when I try to format it.

SPOTIFY, after all those complaints WHERE IS THE SOLUTION? 

THIS IS INNACEPTABLE!

Update on my previous post, I use a class 4 (!) 32gb card now... And that works!

How ridiculous is that?! Spotify on sd card, photos are saving fine as well and staying intact and I can copy / paste other data on it... It's quite unbelievable if you think about it, that Spotify can't be handled properly on bigger and faster cards then this... 

Oh well, it's worth a try guys!

And @Spotify, it's definitely worth looking into! Check one of your updates from July this year, that's when it started for me.

Not really acceptable though is it? 

[DJTGB]

tell spotify, which seems not to follow this and similar threats. 😞

Bumping this thread as it's still a serious issue. Going to send back my new 128GB c10 card and pick up a c4 and see if that helps. Will report back.

What the **bleep**, the issue exists for 2 years and they still haven't fixed it? Time to look for alternatives.
