Song pauses and playlists turn to "Loading" -> App crashes

[JonnyBreakbeat]

Ever since Spotify switched to "My Music",  I am unable to go back to the playlist or My Music view or the currently playing song stops playing and all of my playlists switch from their names to "Loading" for a long time.  Eventually they either reload and the song is paused at the beginning of the song or the app just crashes completely.  Please help as this has essentially completely broken the app for me.

Description

Already described above

What are the steps you took to get to the error/issue?

1. First I started playing a song

2. Then I backed out to the "Your Music" tab

3. Then the song stops, the playlists or albums, etc. reload as "Loading" and the currently playing track goes away for a split second before the playlists repopulate and then say "Loading" again on and on in a loop before the app crashes.

What I expected to happen

I expected the song to keep playing and be able to select another playlist possibly as I used to be able to.  This is a truly app breaking bug.

I have the same problem... Its not just annoying its rendered the app completly unuseable 

[JonnyBreakbeat]

Glad (I guess?) to hear that I'm not the only one.  I've been talking to support and they've submitted it to the Android dev team for fixing.  They haven't given me a timeline or anything unfortunately.  Not sure if anyone here has any other solutions???

This has been going on for last 3 weeks since new update and not a word abot the problem from Spotify. I have e mailed there tech people twice in 3 weeks and no response.... this is really disappointment especially for a service you pay for.

Hi,

same here 😞

Description

Spotify for Android freezes randomly. Hangsy mostly at the end of an song and does not load the next. By scrolling the playlist down anything hangs with "loading". At the first it looks like the app will still respond but later it freezes and becomes non responsive.

Hi Rickchen,

Could you please fill out the TS Guide - it would be nice to see some details, because it looks like only few people has the issue (short thread at the moment).

[danielranson]
