I am having issues contolling music using the music controls on bluetooth and on my wired headphones.

This started happening a few weeks back when the app was updated.  When I press one of the control buttons, the music does not change or play/pause.  The only workaround is force stopping the app and opening it.  Over time, it does not work anymore and I have to repeat the process.  I used other media players just to be sure if it is not a phone issue and all of them worked perfectly.  I did a reinstall of the app and the problem persists.

I can see that this is a Spotify bug because when I press one of the controls when the screen is dimmed, it lights back up, but nothing happens.  Hopefully this will get fixed.

I have a Galaxy Note 8 running the Android verison 7.1.1.
