Spotify stops playing after 1minute

[JohannaN]

Since you guys wouldn't give the other once a helpful answer I hope you'll finally take your te and listen/read this.

So for 2weeks I've had the same problem, my tracks starts playing but stops again at 1minute, and it doesn't stop in a way that it isn't synced, there just the music that stops coming an the play button is still there (as if it's playing normally).
I've tried:
Reinstalling spotify
Restarting my iPhone
Synced with my computer
Restarted my wifi/Internet
Used offline playlist (all tracks fully synced)

So where is the real problem my dear spotify crew? I've tried all of the stuff you've told me and others. Nothing helped anyone of us. I'm so furious I could probably throw my iPhone out of the window, I miss my daily music. Don't ignore this problem like I've seen some other posts getting ignored.. It's a great concept that you're having with spotify and it's just truly sad that my spotify havnt been working properly for about 2weeks.

Just restarted my iPad, and I've played through three songs now without it pausing. So that seemed to solve the problem. Well done, PlanAtDust!

For all the iPaders out there..try this, it has worked on mine when nothing else has. 

1.  Delete the app

2.  Turn iPad off

3.  Hold down power button and "front and center" button at the same time for a few seconds

4.  An apple logo will appear, give it a second and then your normal screen will appear

5.  Re-install Spotify

6.  Give it a go and see

I just listened to a 4:32 song all the way for the first time ever on my iPad!

Just about to try turning my phone of and on again (kind of like the ITcrowd) I never turn the thing off, kind of forget you can do it.

hopefully this helps

I did a reset of the phone then it worked. I first shut down all background apps then I hold down the home button and power button for 10 seconds. ea made a phone reset.

Worked perfectly!

I have upgraded my Spotify to Spotify Premium tonight and trying to listen the music on my Iphone. I get up my playlist, however, when I try to play a song, it would not start. If I try to start in the middle of the song, the song will be playing 15 sec before stopping again. On the pc, this is not a problem.

Some clue what to do?

Thx for the help 🙂

iselin_k - I've just moved your post to this more relevant thread. 

Have you tried restarting your iPhone? That's proved successful for users in this thread. 

[InterestingJohn]

Restarting my iPhone seems to have solved the problem.

I would recommend making this solution more readily available, it's a simple solution, but a lot of people don't turn their phones off very frequently.

[alzoh]

lucky.

i cant believe it is march 2013 and i'm reading all of these things from 2012...they still havent fixed this? i got to this thread from another of many threads, it had a link that said 'problem solved', it took me here but i've yet to read of the actual fix.

i'e reinstalled.. put it in 'shuffle mode' and restarted and Spotify still quits after 1 minute.

i didnt find the place to click, so i'm doing it the long way:  "it is working for 10 mins stragiht now over here"

I just had the same problem after returning from UK to Sweden. Once connected in my car (in Offline mode) the app only played the songs 1:24 - 1:30 then stopped. It was possible to fast forward to 1:35 and then it continued for 90 more seconds.

I turned off all the apps running and restarted my phone and now it works.. Hopefully it will stay like that.

iPhone 4S running iOS 6.0 (10A403), non-jailbroken phone.

I'm having a similar problem.  iPad 3 and same problem on iPhone 4S.  music streaming on extreme stops for a pause every 5-10 seconds.  sometimes it just stops completely.  occasionally, i get a period of 20-30 minutes where it works ok.  but usually not.

my internet connection is fine (can stream hd video no problem from multiple sites).  spotify works fine for me on desktop app high quality.  

i have tried all of the troubleshooting suggestions: restarting ipad, deleting safari cache, hard reboot, reinstall.  nothing has helped.  

this is really annoying.  anything else to try here?

I have an ipod (4g), ios 5, i tried everything. Restarting, forcing the app to stop, not resetting because the start button doesn't work (home button does), i restarted the phone with help of a cydia app (i've jailbroken my ipod, but because other people experience the same i don't think the fault is there), uninstalling it and then reinstall it, etc, but nothing works! The songs keep ending midway. And when i forward the song a little bit it works again. Only then i have to do that the whole time, it just isn't what i want.
Please a solution, because i do pay for this app. Even tried to make a new account, to see if it helped.

Yea its kinda annoying when you actually pay for the service and have issues like this..

I uninstalled, and installed spotify on my iPod again and it still stops at around 1:30 for all songs

[tomazo1974]

Hi all,

I have exactly same problem (Spotify 0.6.4.2) on my iPhone 4s. I have reinstalled the app but it still does not work. I do not have the problem on my iPad, though. I am getting really nervous with that - as a premium account user I expect that such situation will not take weeks to be solved. I do not have time to scan whole community help, I'd rather expect Spotify team to reply or/and solve this issue.

[lenacg]

I'm experiencing the same problem: music stops after 90 seconds and I have to fast forward for a couple of seconds so that it plays again. Same happens after 3 minutes. And with every new song. 

Tried everything I found in this forum: reinstalling, changing bandwidth, shuffle etc.. nothing worked. Quite depressing.

I have an iPod and I live in Germany if that helps. On my MacBook, everything's perfectly fine... That's not enough though. 

Hope Spotify can help soon.

spotify does not work from my iPad. I've tried to change my password twice but it does not solve the problem. Spotify runs for about 1min and stops playing, in fact all functions ceases. Also tried to delete and reinstall spotify. This problem started about a week.

David,

I have deleted the Spotify App from my iPhone 5S five times and re-installed it and each time the same problem occurs with every track freezing at approx 2 minutes. If a track is less than 2 minutes it plays to the end but it is not possible to play a subsequent track. Any ideas?

[Arzenic]

Not to sound like complete A-hole but have anyone "tried to turning it off and on again"? (the iOS device that is)

Worked like charm for me when one of my co-workers came to me with this problem.

I work as an IT-tech... figures... =P
