Spotify is stopping after each streaming radio song... Android

Spotify is stopping after each streaming radio song... Android

=== START OF TEMPLATE ===

 

Description

Please describe the problem: Playback keeps stopping after playing (in most cases) a single song.

Example:Song plays completely. Nothing happens next unless I intervene.

 

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

(We need to know what you are doing so we can do the exact same to try and get the same error)

1. First I did this: I started Spotify on my Android device. (Galaxy S2)

2. Then I did that: I clicked on a radio channel

3. I also did this: I listened to a song

4. then this: It plays one song completely

4.1 Nothing happens but silence.

5. I click on the "X" and click on the current station and it plays another song. Then stops. Again. 

 

6. I have emptied the cache, cleared the data, uninstalled the ap and reinstalled the ap from the google play  store twice.

 

 

What I expected to happen

This is what I expected to happen: I expect it to play one song after another without me restarting the station over and over again.

I don't know of its the same with you, but I have other stations that work fine. Just one of my stations keeps stopping after each song plays until I exit and restart the station.

Playing Spotify Free on my laptop at home on a connection that never has problems; radio playback stalls and doesn't restart.

Win7, logged in through Spotify, not Facebook.

Tried signing off, then logging back in - still stuck at the end of the same song - no playback. Seems it relented a few times and allowed me on a later sign-in to play radio and individual tracks, but eventually freezes again.

Reinstalled Spotify straight on top of old app.

Playback began, then stalled at end of first track.

Uninstalled app via Control Panel.

Downloaded app fresh and installed.

Radio and tracks played ok for a couple days, then radio stalled again after the first track it played today. 30 minutes later it resumed, so it seems it can resume playback after a period of time.

Is Spotify running as an IE pop-up, and if so, is there a setting that I need to change? IE is set to clear history and cache when it closes. Is this what is being referred to as "clear the cache; clear the data"?

Ideas?

Thanks.
