Continuous play

[doubledeck]

Why do songs sometimes play continuously and other times not?

[FeliceElle]

Thank you so much for psoting this question! I have the same issue, had a co-worker/Spotify User try to help yet the issue still exists. Went Google searching and ended up here - I see this is just a problem that has no resolution, which is extremely frustrating! What was the purpose of creating my playlists if I can't listen to each track, one after the other? If you, or anyone, finds a solution PLEASE post it!

[Joe]

Maybe you could be specific? Are you having problems listening to music on your PC using the desktop client?

[FeliceElle]

I'm using my desktop.I have a playlist I created and I have to click each song one after the another, it will not continuously play the track list.  Let me know if you need anymore details!

[Joe]

Thanks @FeliceElle . What operating system and spotify version (help/about and click version to copy it to clipboard) are you using?

[FeliceElle]

Operatiing system? Sorry for the dumb question but do you mean am I using Windows? Then, yes 🙂

Spotify Version - 0.9.7.16g4b197456

Thanks!

Does this happen with all playlists? When you double-click a track then got to the Play Queue in the left-hand panel, does it ist all the other tracks from that playlist?

[FeliceElle]

No, it doesn't.  I have to "queue" each track individually, then they will display in my PLAY QUEUE. But double-clicking does not work for me.

[Joe]

What do you mean by dopuble-clicking doesn't work? To have all the remaining tracks added to the play queue, click on a playlist name in the left panel then either double-click on a track name in the centre panel or right-click on it then select play. What happens if you do one of those?

[FeliceElle]

That is exactly what I meant by dbl-clicking.  Neithe rof those options you mentioned works for me.

Thanks!

[FeliceElle]

It will play the one track I click on but will not continue to play the entire playlist.  I hope I am explaining this to you so you understand - if not, please let me know!

[Joe]

Sounds like something may be wrong with your desktop client then. Could you try reinstalling spotify, following the instructions here.

[FeliceElle]

Then I will lose all of my saved playlists and songs, right?

[Joe]

You will need to redownload any music you made available offline but your actual playlists and everything else will still be there as it is stored on spotify's servers.

[FeliceElle]

Ok, I'm gonna give it a try!  Thank you!

[FeliceElle]

OMG IT WORKED!!!! Thank you SO MUCH!!!! If I could ((( hug ))) you I would!

[Joe]

That's terrific! Now you can enjoy your music 🙂

I'm on a desktop and my play list will not play continously.  It plays one song, maybe two and then stops.  There is a blue bar that reads" can't play current song."  I've tried to uninstall and reinstall and same issue.  Very frustrating when I want it to just play continuously.  If I can't get this fix, I'm going to cancel my premium subscription cuz this sucks.  Can you help?

Maybe try playing the Spotify "Relax & Unwind" playlist at  http://open.spotify.com/user/spotify/playlist/3InXOgDxJPeA05l6rQyDoe . 

All of the Spotify licenses should be "active" in that playlist.

Cheers!

I have the free version of spotify, and when I am listening to a playlist it will only play one song then I have to manually start the next song? This is really annoying. Any suggestions? I have tried redownloading, and turning of crossfade and gapless playback but hasn't helped.

They have not fixed my pay version so sorry I have no answer for you
because I'm still struggling with my playlist playing continuously. It
only happens on my desktop not on mobile devices. Annoying and
frustrated. I wouldn't pay until you get it resolved
