Spotify keeps skipping and pausing for no reason (even on Wi-Fi)

[MartinezErickSr]

Even on Wi-Fi and especially of Wi-Fi, Spotify keeps skipping tracks and it's starting to pause as well for no reason. Can some one help, I want too keep using Spotify but it getting annoying. I been thinking about using another music streaming service.

same issue, skipping at 10 second intervals.  Started today on Android mobile.  Tried everything I can think of but to no avail.At home on line wifi no problems.  I am not a premium member.  Weird.  Anyone else with same.  Hope we get answers.  thanks E

Similar problem is occuring for me.  In addition though, at least once a day I get a "Spotify has stopped working" message and I have to restart my device to get it back.  Closing the app and restating the app does not fix the problem

Yes yes, same situation for me.  I'm in CA and this just started today.  If you find out anything, please let me know.  Many thanks E

Poorly written software, no doubt by "team" players who have all the right buzz-words on their CV but are clueless when it comes to software development.

That a big company puts out such a poor product.

Yeah, my app eats memory, although I am clueless as to what it is storing in it.

When I click to stop playing it goes on playing anyway. On and on and on.

So I go to the playlist and it isn't even showing green on the correct track. After pressing stop several times it finally does.

Then when I restart later it also has a massive hang with a blank screen not knowing what it's meant to be playing,. and then decides to stop after the track for ages whilst it decides what to do next (hey, play the next song on the playlist?. That is what I asked you to do, and I am supposed to be driving).

It's lucky Spotify don't make cars. They'd forever crash going on their own course rather than responding to the driver who is supposed to be steering it.

Get me in to work for you. Ok, I already have a job that's pretty well paid. And yes I'm an "aspie", maybe not your idea of a "team" player and I haven't written mobile apps but I know software, I know bad software and I know yours is.

I've seen all kinds of madness by clueless software developers. And those who think that more features is important as that's what the users want and getting the existing ones to perform faster and more responsiively is just "nice to have".

By the way "wi-ifi" is not an issue to me. I offline all my playlists. I'd sort-of expect more pausing if I'm streaming live but when I'm playing an offlined playlist I expect it to get on with just playing it, knowing what to play next, not consuming loads of memory and responding very quicky to me when I press the start or stop button.

Have you tried disabling nuplayer if you are on Android Lollipop? There's a sticky at the top of this forum detailing how to do this.

Else, please read the guide linked below for details on the most common issues and how to fix them. Usually a clean install is the first step to take and resolves most of the usual issues; the guide details the steps to take to ensure a full 'clean installation' is achieved - This includes checking redundant folders and a REBOOT!

No I don't think I have Android Lollipop. I do agree though that google are pretty bad too when it comes to forcing stuff upon you that you don't want, just because you want to use some of their services. And Apple are pretty bad in that department too.

Please explain to me why Spotify needs to use 66MB on my device when all I want to do is play a downloaded playlist whilst remaining online (a necessity it would appear so it doesn't lose my place if I pause playing).

Processes:

Spotify:                           66MB

com.spotify.music.service 

And "uninstalling and reinstalling" should never be forced upon anyone. and should never be necessary.
