Spotify 6.2.0.1028armV7
Spotify reports that it is using internal storage even when the cache is stored on external SD card. Reinstalling Spotify does not help. Note that this bug does not occur with any other apps which use external storage and it has been reported by users of non-samsung devices so it is neither an android nor a samsung bug.

Steps to reproduce:
- Select SD card as storage option in spotify settings.
- Download some music.
- Go to application manager and select spotify which will show only internal storage is used.
- Check folder sizes of the com.spotify.music folder on both internal and external storage to see that spotify is using mostly the external location.
