[Windows 10] Randomly stops playing

Brief description of the issue: Spotify client just stopping after around 20 or 30 songs.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Start a radio (doesn't matter which)
  2. Let it play through 20 to 30 songs

What steps you’ve tried already:

  1. Reinstalled Spotify
  2. Installed K-Lite Codec Pack (per a forum suggestion that I cannot find again)
  3. Several combinations of quality settings
  4. Restarted Windows

I'm running the official Spotify for Windows version 1.0.56.451.gb2f539fc on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit as a premium user.

When I hit Play/Pause or Next from the keyboard or the Spotify client http://prntscr.com/fkrl1zWhen I hit Play/Pause or Next from the keyboard or the Spotify client http://prntscr.com/fkrl1z

There is a few very annoying workarounds I have found though:

  1. Hit Previous, then to get it to the next song hit Next.
  2. Hit play on a song in the list
  3. Start a different radio, then return to the one you're listening to.

Is there any fixes to this so I can just listen?
