How do I fix Spotify not letting me change songs and restarting the song?

[GJustin]

Sometimes when I am using Spotify, the app plays the first second of a bunch of random songs then once it starts playing, it will restart and not let me change the song. This is most common when using Apple Carplay or the Desktop App. This makes the service unusable as it never finishes a song, won't let me skip or change songs. The only way to play music is something like Tidal at that point which I often end up switching to when this happens. It will stay like this despite clean installing, restarting and logging out everywhere but then when I launch the app later or the next day its working fine.
