It feels like 2 or 3 times a song an ad will start playing during it! It's very annoying and I'll probably stop using spotify unless its fixed.

Okay so no ads are being shown in the play queue. But literally every minute or so an ad plays for like 10-15 seconds then cuts out.

hi i'm getting the same problem as well. Every time I am in spotify to play a new song, I get a video ad at the bottom of the screen that plays over my music at a really loud volume.

I only use spotify on my laptop, so I've only experienced this bug there.
I took a screenshot of the bug happening. I was 2 minutes into a song when a Mucinex sidebar ad started playing. The sound was not coming directly from the Spotify app, but rather from SpotifyHelper.

I understand that there is already a thread related to this issue but it does not seem to be resolved nor does it seem to address the issue occurring on the iPad app.
Periodically, at the start of a song an ad will come on and play over the track that I'm listening to. I don't mind waiting for the ad to finish before listening to the song but at the same time is especially obnoxious. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app but that did not work.
For what it may be worth I'm listening to the iPad app through AppleTV but I can't imagine that would make a difference on how the app operates.
Also worth noting is that I've had the app for at least a year but this has only started to happen today (11/24/14), not sure if the app automatically updated recently.
Any thoughts?
@james99 I've moved your topic over here from the ideas exchange since this here is the best place for bug reports. Any news about that issue will be announced here. Could you tell us which Spotify version you're using?

I am having the same issues using the Deskop Client for OS X Yosemite (OS X 10.10.1). Video Ads in the ad bar at the bottom of the application constantly activate and play while music is playing, there is usually no way to stop them playing. Sometimes clicking on the blank bar will open the website tied to the ad and will make the ad stop, other times this is ineffective and only the video will appear and the audio of the ad will keep playing. This is an incredibly annoying bug.
These ads just started today every 30-60 seconds over the music and in addition to the adds that play between songs occassionally overlapping the actual built-in ads. HELP!
Is there a solution for this? I have the same problem and would really like to fix it.
I e-mail the Spotify Support Team but they have no intention of e-mailing me back per thier e-mail. I would really like some help on this.
