Hi,
I got an iPad 1 (fyi not jailbroken). Installed yesterday the new Spotify app for iPad. Super... I thought. But it stops playing all the time and after a few minutes it continues... Why?
Internet connection 120 Mb
WLAN N router
LAN 1Gbps
Please Help...
Solved! Go to Solution.
Was testing spotify on Ziggo Netherlands from 12.00 to 14.00, using apple tv for airplay to onkyo 875 receiver:
ipod touch - hickups;
ipad3 - hickups;
windows (with airlfoil airplay to apple tv) - no hickups.
Als tested sony music unlimited app on ipod touch, with apple tv and onkyo 875 receiver: hickups.
I started Spotify one night this week, right after the update was released, and after a minute of waiting it had played for about a whopping 6 seconds! So I decided to try one last thing before cancelling my subscription, and I changed the DNS settings on my iOS devices (iPhone 3GS and iPad 1). Was suggested on one of these forums, and it's easily done on iOS.
To my surprise, streaming worked flawlessly after that, and I've had almost no issues since (played over 6 hours on different times). So at least for Ziggo users, I can recomment you try setting up your DNS to use google's server:
IP 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 Google it if you want to make sure this isn't a scam.
Best,
HM.

as far as I know I cannot change the DNS from the Sonos Zoneplayer, so do you mean I have to change the DNS setup at the modem/router?
I have changed my modem (Ziggo Ubee) / router (WNDR3700) accordingly.
We wil see in the next few days...
I've also changed DNS on my ipod. First results ipod is more stable, but still few hickups.
Edit: 10 minutes further, several hickups. This is no solution.

I have the same problem. I thought that the problem was the location were I had my ipad located, but changing this din`resolve the problem. I also have updated with the latest version , but still having the breaks. If this is not changing , I will stop using Spottily and ask a refund for my premium account.
same here.
Is setup the new DNS, then I switched everything off, waited a few minutes and then powerd my modem, router, Sonos etc..
At fitst it seemed ok, but this evening I had a few dropouts and at some moment I was unable to reconnect to Spotify Using the Sonos. I am really getting frustrated about this, it's going on for weeks now.
Just listened on ipod touch eurovision list for the first time withoud hickups. Two things have changed:
- since today i am a paying customer of spotify;
- i use apple tv to airplay the music to my receiver, apple tv had today an update.
Another thing was that i was charging the ipod touch.
Maybe the cause of the problem was bad interaction between the apple tv and the ipod????
