Spotify stops playing between each song.

Spotify stops playing between each song.

Hello,

 

Starting this morning, I began having a problem with the iPhone spotify app STOPPING BETWEEN EACH SONG played in a playlist. At the end of each song the album artwork changes and the new status bar comes up but the small circle never showsup at the beginning of the bar. If I forward to the next track it will begin playing right away but it will again stop before the next song plays.

 

I have a premium account, and I am running iOS 5.1.1 on an iPhone 4. 

I have enabled and disabled gapless playback as well as enabled and disabled crossfade. I have also turned offline mode on and off. So far, as of this morning (yesterday it was fine) this is occuring on all my playlists. I have the newest spotify which was installed 3 days ago. No problems over the past 3 days.

 

I have had no problems until this point.

 

Thank you!

This actually worked for me. I turned off gapless and it worked, but since it's only 3 songs that do this i decided to turn it back on. To my surprise, the songs that did it before actually work.

it occurs usually when there is less than a minute left of the song.  It doesnt happen for each song, but occasiaonally.  And this prevents spotify from doing the autoplay, skip to the next song, etc. 

My playlist stops after every song finishes , will not play as a "party "
list .....so frustrating .
It worked great in the early days , I,could have two hours of selected
material which was great when entertaining ......whole albums are fine ,
but my own playists just stop .
I'm wondering could the apple updates have something to do with this , as I
notice it messes with lots of other apps .

I think I have an idea of the issue??? When at work (public school) on the public school DOE wi-fi network & playing music on a bluetooth speaker for my classroom, I was experiencing the same issue. Having to 'next' every single track on a playlist or radio station - driving me INSANE. However, It didn't seem to be as much of an issue when at home.

 

 

When I disconnect from the wi-fi network at my work, and my phone goes off the 4g network or whatever, there is no issue. I think Spotify has some issues with different wireless providers or setups somehow? Hope this information is somewhat helpful?
