Spotify uses too much mobile data.

Spotify uses too much mobile data.

So, here's the deal; i use Spotify (premium) mostly on my Squeezebox touch, rarley on my phone. But still, Spotify used 1GB of mobile data in november. I don't have any downloaded playlists and I don't even use Spotify that much. The only solution i could find was to remove the app, hah. What the heck is up, and how do I fix it?
I've been looking for a thread to post my issue in, but seems like the threads are locked. But i found some sort of chart...

Hello and welcome to the Spotify Community!

 

Is your stream quality set on low quality/automatic?

Hi! And thanks.

Streaming was set on "normal". But if I'm not streaming, it shouldn't use any mobile data, right? Because that's the case. I've streamed spotify for about an hour in november and it have used 1GB of mobile data... So wierd, and annoying.
