Troubles playing one specific album on my android device.

Troubles playing one specific album on my android device.

Like the title says I'm having troubles playing the album Fish Outta Water by Chali 2na.
Every time a song from this album pops up in my playlist I won't hear a thing but the timer will run and the track bar will move.

If I first hit pause and then play the song will start from the beginning and the timer resets itself.

This problem will then repeat itself once on the next song (no matter what song it is) that plays and will not pop up until a new song from that album gets played.

This album plays just fine on my computer, I might add.

 

I've had this exact issue on the samsung galaxy s2 and s3 which leads me to believe one of two things. Either there's something wrong with the mp3 files for that specific album or there's something wrong with the samsung galaxy phones.
The latter doesn't seem all that likely though.

 

To fix this issue i've tried clearing the cache and unistall/reainstall spotify on my phone. i've tried running the album both downloaded and not. Same issue every time.

 

If anyone has an idea as to what might be wrong then i would appriciate the feedback. And if not i hope a developer sees this and looks into the files on the album.

This sounds like a bug with the Android client where some songs start muted - I get this on my Nexus, but rarely on my S2.

 

I found that force closing the app fixed this, at least for a while. I don't believe there is a permanent fix as of yet.
