Spotify saying "Spotify can't play this right now" and skipping songs?

Plan

Free

Country

Device

iPad Air 4th Gen

Operating System

I use Spotify on the web player, NOT THE APP, and I'd prefer to keep using the web player if at all possible.

 

My Question or Issue

Last night when I used Spotify it was completely fine, but suddenly it's not working. I'll try to play a song on Spotify web player on Chrome, but it will display the message "Spotify can't play this right now", and rapidly skip about six songs, and then start "playing" the song it stopped at, although I hear no audio, both with and without headphones. I do use Bluetooth as I cannot plug in my headphones, but this has never caused problems before.

 

I looked at several other communities posts and tried to follow the advice as best I can, but none of the issues were exactly the same and most of the problem solving ideas were things I don't think I can do on iPad.

 

I have updated the Chrome app [on the app store], and cleared my cache and browsing data, but it still persists. I've never had this issue before, and if I try to play sounds through anything else such as YouTube on browser, it works just fine, this issue only seems to be with Spotify. Also, for context, I have updated Chrome AFTER the issues started, so I don't think the update caused this.

 

Any ideas what it could be? Thanks.
