My Question or Issue

When I shuffle a folder on my computer and restart the application while playing the resulting shuffled playlist, the playlist resets to the first song that it started playing. Furthermore, until I play the first song of that playlist, it includes the songs that were previously "next in queue" in the "next up" section.

Hey there @artakha! 

Can you try logging out and logging back in twice to see if it makes a difference? If that doesn't help, can you try these steps?

Don't forget to restart your device after performing a clean reinstall.

Let me know how it goes.

Hi @MateusM, thanks for the answer.

I have tried the logging out and back in thing, it didn't change anything. I skipped the clean reinstall, as the issue persists despite the fact that I have changed computers since first noticing it, which I suspect is as clean a reinstall as it gets.

Thanks for getting back @artakha!

Can you share with us a screenshot of how the Queue looks before restarting the app, and then how it looks after?

I'll be on the lookout.

Sure, here they are.

1. Shuffled folder:

2. Skipped some songs and added some to queue:

3. Playlist after restarting the app:

4. After skipping the first song:

As you can see, after restaring the app, the shuffled playlist resets and it somehow includes the queue in the "next up" section until the first song is played/skipped.

Thanks @artakha!

I couldn't reproduce this behavior from my end. Can you let me know the Spotify version your device is running? I'd still suggest a clean reinstall as this is more thorough than a regular one and can help get rid of any cache that might be causing issues and this process ensures the app is fresh from before. 

During the reinstall process, I suggest you install the Spotify version from the Microsoft Store.

Keep me posted on how this goes.

I'm using Spotify version 1.2.40.599.g606b7f29, if that helps any. And as the problems persisted even though I changed notebooks (meaning I had to install the app on a brand new machine), I don't see why the clean reinstall would do anything. But thanks for your time and advice.
