My Question or Issue

Some songs stop with 5 seconds remaining. Example songs are “Let him in anyway” by Blake Shelton and “Foolish” by David Morin, but there are many more that I’ve come across in the last week. It is occurring on my phone Spotify app, both when connected to wifi & when using cellular data. It also happens when the songs are on all kinds of playlists: created by me, created by spotify, downloaded playlists, recommended for you tracks, etc. Same issue on the most recent app version and the previous version
