My Question or Issue
Steps to reproduce:
1 - start playing an album or playlist
2 - go to queue to see what song is up next
Expected behavior: only one song appears as "playing"
Actual behavior:
Every song in the queue is highlighted green (playing) and has the fake equalizer effect left of it.

Hi, unfortunately, the issues persists:
I followed all the steps for the clean install and I double checked my "/private/etc/hosts" file, it did not have any spotify related records.

Is there anything else I can try?

But I normally listen on a third party device over spotify connect.
Maybe the spotify connect client is outdated?
On Mac
On Spotify Connect:
Unfortunately, I do not have another spotify connect device lying around to test with.
Kind regards,
