Spotify freezes Nexus 5

[fresh-ear]

After running Spotify on my Nexus 5 (ver 6.0.1) for a while (maybe an hour or more) everything slows or completely freezes on my phone. This happens consistently and only with Spotify. So I need to restart my phone after using Spotify nearly every time.

I normally use Spotify with either Bluetooth or Chromecast, and don't normally have anything else running, and always clear cache before I start. (It also happens when I don't clear cache but somehow I believe this might help)

It keeps throwing up errors like "(suchandsuch app) has stopped responding. close/wait" or "SystemUI has stopped responding. close/wait".

I first mentioned this on these forums a year ago, and there has been no solution. I have deleted apps, cleared space, cleared cache, done everything and Spotify still does this, even after all the updates over a year. And it's ONLY Spotify, no other app produces this problem.

And strangest thing of all is that it seems like I am the only person in the world with this problem.
