Spotify not working offline

[user-removed]

Description

I've been having problems with spotify in android since the last updatewhen not on wifi. Since I have a pretty limited data plan , most of the time it's off ( or simply already spended it ). So when using Spotify without a internet connection ( tried both with and without offline mode on) , playback stops after a few seconds and/or controls stop responding . Even after forcing it to close sometimes the musc continues playing for a few seconds . 

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

Started Spotify when not connected to internet

Selected a dowloaded playlist

Try to jump foward in the music

Controls stop responding

Force close 

Music continues playing for a few seconds

OR

Music simply stops playing

Controls unresponsive

What I expected to happen

Playing my downloaded playlists even when not connected to the internet

Hello and welcome to the Spotify Community!

I recommend a logging out/logging in, if it doesn't work, you should reinstall Spotify.

Thank you , but already tried that ( even followed the guide for reinstaling) . The problem is really strange since if I start  spotify connected to the internet (wifi or 4g) I don't have any problems even if I disconnect it afterwards . But if I try to start it when not connected I have the problems described above . Since I mostly use spotify when outside it is a problem that is really inconvenient
