Spotify keeps randomly playing music on a device - without being open

[swanky-n-spanky]

Yet another showstopping bug from the stupid cunts at Spotify.

When I try to play Spotify on another device - like my old iPhone - it'll play for a moment then switch to my Android. When I do things with my Android phone - like disconnecting/connecting bluetooth devices - Spotify will suddenly start playing on my phone.

It does this all without the app ever being open (Though, in natural form, Spotify has been the one app that doesn't seem to align 'consent' with 'choosing to open and use the program' - I've had several instances over many years of Spotify playing randomly on my phone without even being open.)

How can I stop yet another **bleep**ing infuriating bug that is seemingly unique to this abortion of a program?

So... you're very subtly imply that somebody has hacked my account so they can use it in one of those paid-listening botnet scams?

Isn't that called fraud? You guys should probably look into that.
