My Question or Issue

 I've read this from others already. Apparently a lot of people have the same issue. Whenever I start the spotify app it immediately crashes. I've reinstalled it twice, redownloading all my music. It then worked for one session. But when I tried using the app again after a few hours it would crash.

Samsung note 8, same problem

the app works fine if i didn't download my main playlist (i have my own music from local storage), this is the only playlist that i downloaded, there around 750 songs in it

after i download the playlist, it will crash when i closed the app and restart it

after i clear data, the app is working again, but need to re-login and all the downloaded music is gone

i've tried to download the playlist again, same issue happened, i'm guessing it's related to downloading the playlist/songs

this issue happended since 8 june 2018, i noticed there's an update to the spotify app a day before

I'm going to download an old APK to see if this fixes the problem. This could work 🙂

Anyone else had any luck doing this at all?
