My Question or Issue

Whenever i double click to start a playlist, it does not start the song on the top of my playlist anymore (depending on how i sort the playlist).
it always starts with a specific song (in my case something really old in my playlist).
This happens with every playlist i have and was not the case a few days ago.

i noticed this song is always the one first shown on the playlist image.

All help is appriciated, thanks !

Hey @Dotarape,

Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community. 

Would you mind trying the following to see if the unusual behavior you reported gets fixed? 

• Restart the Spotify app. 
• Log out and back in. 
• Check the app is up-to-date.
• Reinstall the app.
  Note: After reinstalling, you'll need to redownload any music you've made available for offline listening.

Let us know how you get on. We'll look out for your update and be here if there's anything else we can help with!

I have the same problem. It seems that Spotify plays the first track in the Playlist (so the one at the top when not sorting the playlist by Date or Title). Usually the first track you added if you never rearranged the tracks.

Logging in and out kinda solved it for most of my playlists, but its still funky for 1 playlist.

if uninstalling does require me to re-download every song i saved, i'd prefer not to do that 😄

for now i'm gonna roll with it

Thanks!

And i'm having this issue again...
Something i noticed is that some playlists still display the "downloading" icon next to the list.
I guess i'l have to do a fresh instal, this should be looked at by spotify though!
