My Question or Issue

For 10 minutes now all the songs play for at most 7 seconds then automatically skip to the next. I tried logging on and off, and switching the browser. The same issue appears. It's impossible to listen to anything.

Also happening for me. I am using spotify in chrome browser, PC, windows 10, with spotify premium trial. Trying to listen to the new King Giz album, KG, which spotify recommended for me in "new releases for you". Tracks seem to only play for 1 or 2 seconds, then skip to the next song.

My Question or Issue

I have an issue with playing tracks on my iPhone X. The majority of tracks are either skipped  immediately or are played for a few seconds before skipping. A daily mix, for example. which I tried to listen to managed to play only 2 full songs.

These issues are occurring when the phone is connected to wifi or phone data.

Actions I've completed so far:

1.   Deleted app and reinstalled

2.  Powered phone off and on

3.  Ensured that Spotify app is on background refresh

The app is showing to be connected and not offline.

Any help with this is much appreciated. 

It's particularly frustrating as I'm unable to listen to any of my playlists

Same. Gecko- and Blink-based browsers (probably other too). No addons.

When playing my "Work Playlist" on both Web Player and Desktop App, songs are starting, playing between a second to a few seconds, and then skipping to the next track, without any input.

I have attempted:

* restart the desktop app
* load the playlist in web player / desktop app separately

* opening web player in incognito
* opening playlist on iOS client
* attempted to cast to Chromecast device (same behavior)

Note: Songs should have been downloaded locally to devices for both Desktop App and iOS
