Playback issues related to the next song in the queue

[Yordan]

We received reports that upon attempting to play a song that's been added to the queue manually (via the Add to queue option), the playback stops completely and the play buttons on the Now Playing View become greyed out, thus preventing advancing to the next track.

My Question or Issue

[Lxca27]

I’ve had this issue starting ever since around before Christmas time, it had occurred for several days, fix itself automatically after I delete the Spotify app from my phone, then it would come back out of the blue the next day. After all this happened I just ignored the issue and had used suggested playlists to drag me out of the irritation, and to my surpise I could use my normal playlist that I made again. The issue would then come back out of nowhere which I’ve literally just experienced about a few minutes ago from when I’m writing this, and it needs resolving since I’m considering moving to soundcloud and adding over 500+ songs that I like into a NEW playlist.

Having the same issue, will play one song and then you have to select a different playlist to have anything play. App is up to date so no idea what’s going on with it. Been happening for 3 days 🙃

My Question or Issue

Every time a song finishes it will not play the next one and I will be stuck with sometging  like this:

This is happening on all playlists and songs for me. I have cleared my cache but it still does this. Can anybody help? Also it won’t work when I skip on the Spotify app but it skips on the iPhone now playing tab. Being a free user though, I only have 6 skips. When i force close and reopen app it lets me play again but this is very inconvenient.

Just delete the old version you have and install the new one (link below) with the problem fixed, I did and it finally worked. For some reason the desktop app is not updating automatically like it use to, so you have to do it yourself.

No se porqué pasa, pero justo eso; deja de reproducir. Al principio solo me pasaba en mi Ipad, ponía algo y se quedaba sin reproducir y el reproductor en gris, y lo unico que reproducia eran anuncios y ya paraba, entonces mejor ponía música en mi celular pero ahora le esta pasando lo mismo. Me gustaría saber si hay alguna forma de que pueda volver a funcionar o si de plano ya no me servirá, muchas gracias. 😿

I have to push the play button to hear the next recording.

Any update on when we might see the iPad update for this issue? This has completely broken the way I use the app.

Hey there, folks,

Thanks for your patience while we looked into this issue.

We're happy to announce that the queue playback should now be functioning properly for everyone running app version 9.0.8 (iOS and Android) and 1.2.53.440 (desktop). If you don't see the update on your end just yet, rest assured it's coming your way in the next couple of days.

To ensure you're running the latest version of Spotify available, it's worth performing a clean reinstall of the app.

If you're still having trouble with playback or anything else, you can post a new thread in the relevant Help board here.

Cheers 🤘

After that everything freezes until i press on another song.so basically the songs aren’t playing one after another.
