My Question or Issue

Whenever I play a song or want to listen to an entire album, one song plays, then a random one. Here's an example: I wanted to listen to a Radiohead album. It played the first song on the album, then played a Kanye song after. I've seen other issues/forums pop up about this issue, but none have been fixed. I even talked to a Spotify Associate and they told me to uninstall, delete my cache file, then reinstall. I did that and it fixed it. The issue is, it came back right after. Is there a permanent fix available?

I have the same problem. 1st song of an album plays then it plays some random song but similar genre, then it plays the 2nd song from the album and the rest of the album plays ok. It happens every time I try to play an album, it's just one random inserted song. Very annoying when it's a song I don't like, or friends think I chose it when it's bad.

This exact same thing is happening to me. I’m going to cancel my subscription because it’s going to make me get into a car wreck if it keeps up.

I have this too. Very annoying...

Bro, I just had the same I think. It all was happening because I had pressed to queue a whole playlist. That's why when it played one song on my playlist and then changed to the next song in the queue, which was a whole playlist with hundreds of songs. So just clear your queue and then press play on the chosen playlist and blast off.

Is it possibly the repeat/loop button? I have had the same problem with Spotify when I am not using the loop button at all, even with the whole 'play random songs' thing turned off. If I have the loop on for a single song or for the whole playlist/album, it doesn't happen to me o.o I have noticed that every once in a while, Spotify will wipe your last settings for that album/playlist if you haven't used it on that device in a while. It seems to generally remember this selection, but double-check that it is on. I just reselect the thing I meant for it to play, then hit the loop button; I haven't experienced issues with the queue failing to reload if I do it this way personally, but I believe the others when they say you might need to empty your queue. There is also that pesky setting someone else mentioned about it playing other content by default, so check that it isn't on. I'm not sure how helpful the repeat button will be in this situation, since it almost looks like an issue with the album/playlist play button. I've always pressed the first song on the list instead of the play button, admittedly ^.^; so if it helps: press the first song, not the play button, turn it on Loop All or even Loop One, and see what happens. 😕 I hope it does help, but feels like a hail mary xD
