Yes this is my experience.
Is it because I have a large number of playlists? It's as if it loses connectivity. I'm reading about people clearing their cache but I don't know if this is solution or not. Or how to do it.
An update..
Spotify Support suggested deleting my offline cache... sent me a link to do so. Made no difference.
Now I've created a new account and they're transferring my old playlists and haggling over what they will refund since they've admitted there is a problem.
Unbelievably, I'm now using my new account. First time I've used "free" Spotify with ads. After 5 songs or so (after the first ad), all songs stop playing after anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute. They just stop. No "Loading" or "Resuming" screen. They just stop.
This service is monumentally crap. It worked fine for me for years but I'm seriously considering binning Spotify. My alltime favourite App.
