iPad App Unresponsive (but doesn't crash)

Short version: I found a YouTube video that illustrates exactly what I'm seeing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-sWKMAMXrM

Long version:

Description
Many operations within the Spotify iPad app are unresponsive. Examples:

• I try to play a song and the play button changes to pause, and the "playing" icon next to the battery indicator comes on, but no music is actually playing and the timeline scrubber doesn't move.
• I can see the list of playlists, but can't see the songs -- just a spinning activity indicator that never goes away.
• I go to the radio feature and try to play a station, and I get the spinning activity indicator, but nothing ever happens.

I've tried logging out and logging back in. I've tried uninstalling the iOS app and reinstalling it. No luck on any of those things.

A more detailed description, using numbered steps
1. I pressed play

What actually happened

• The play button changed to pause

• I heard no music

You have to reboot the iPad. Hold down the power button and power off.
