My Question or Issue

 This happened with my last phone, Samsung S7 running Oreo (or whatever the most recent OS is) but it was fixed when I got the Moto X4. I like to keep a lot of songs downloaded offline because my service is terrible and I also spend a lot of time in the mountains. Before I I update my phone to the new Android Pie OS there was no problems. Now everytime I reset my phone I think spotify cannot see my SD card at first and tries to download all the music to its internal storage and I have to go back in and tell it to store it in the SD card. That is extremely annyoing but not the end of the world. What is really frustrating is that I think all of the downloaded songs are still on the SD card and just keep redownloading and taking up space. Eventually this will cause me to reformat the card which will be a major pain for me since I store a large amount of photos on there also. Is anyone else have this problem? I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the application so any other suggestions or help?

According to Goolge, the problem is related to Spotify

I have turned off my phone. Turned it back on. I open Spotify and the trouble starts all over again....

After 4 times I gave up to be the Spotify tester!

How many users are affected by this? Less than 0,1% I guess, so why bother? (sarcasm)

They simple don't care about with this issue; their final solution is to use internal storage...

lol i don't even use Spotify anymore because i hate everything. i just
think the pixel is the best android phone, no bloatware. it also happens
to have a 128 or 256 GB internal storage and no sdcard slot.
