We've received reports from some users that there's stuttering and playback issues on desktop. Music plays for 8-9 seconds, and then the track skips with no sound. This seems to only affect the desktop app.

We've been getting reports from Premium users that when a song finishes, it doesn’t automatically move on to the next one, it just stops. For some users, it prompts them to play while they’re offline. This seems to happen on a variety of devices.

We're seeing reports from users that self-created playlists (including Liked Songs) won’t load on Android devices. This mostly seems to be happening to Samsung devices, both on mobile and tablet.
