Hi,
I got an iPad 1 (fyi not jailbroken). Installed yesterday the new Spotify app for iPad. Super... I thought. But it stops playing all the time and after a few minutes it continues... Why?
Internet connection 120 Mb
WLAN N router
LAN 1Gbps
Please Help...
Solved! Go to Solution.
Going off topic for a minute, can you please take the time to review my idea in the ideas community:

I think it makes a lot of sense. Rdio does it this way. If you agree please give kudos and let's get it changed!!!!!
Have tested Deezer, ipad HD app. Playback is flawless. ISP is Ziggo Netherlands.
but at the moment i've no connection. Anone else too?
IPS is Ziggo Netherlands

as far as I know I cannot change the DNS from the Sonos Zoneplayer, so do you mean I have to change the DNS setup at the modem/router?
I think i've found the cause of the problem. When using Carat for anayzing my battery usage, i've found that my "memory used" most of the time is completely filled. "Memory active" is 30/50%. This means that the memory of my iPhone most of the time is filled with processes of apps I have used. Not all memory is active though, so this means that whenever an app needs more memory, it will free up the inactive memory, in order for the running app to use that memory.
Today I removed all the apps from my multitask bar (and thus, freeing up the memory used). I checked this with Carat. When I would then play streaming playlist with Spotify, not a single hickup or stutter occured!
My guess is that when the "memory used" is almost full, Spotify is not getting enough memory from the operating system, to continue to buffer the songs, thus stuttering and hickups follow. Maybe when the device is locked the memory management is even more strict?
Hopefully this information can lead to a succesfull fix for the app!
For now, my workaround for stutter free playing works for me!
The GUI looks and "feels" awesome, but please Spotify SAY SOMETHING. The problem is obvious a comon one, so fix it pls - or at least make it possible to downgrade to the old iPhone app! The app is pretty useless at the moment.
Hello,
I haven't run into this myself... However, if you believe downgrading might help, why not try searching for "Spotify for iOS4" in the App Store? This is a version designed with older devices in mind.
Not sure who you're talking to? Jrick mentioned he'd tried all quality settings, and I've done the same. Stuttering persists even on the lowest.
Ok, I shut everything in the multi-task menu, including Spotify. Reopened Spotify, set the quality to Extreme. It played one track fine for about 2-3 mins (not enough time for the track to end) then it stopped. The track didn't start again, so I then tested again using High and Normal quality settings (on different tracks), and both of them stuttered after about 30 seconds.
Gapless playback is on and crossfade is set to 0s. Thanks for trying to help out by the way 🙂
