My Question or Issue

 Everytime Spotify updates, it switches the storage location from my SD card to my internal storage.  Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

Me too, except it seems to happen sometimes without even an update

Hey folks, 

Thanks for reaching out to the Community about this. 

Just to confirm, have you tried a clean reinstall of the Spotify app on your device? We recommend this step as it'll remove the old drivers first and then install the new ones. It'll also get you the latest version of Spotify. These changes tend to solve issues like the one you're experiencing. Give your device a quick restart as well before you open the newly installed app. 

It's also a good idea to log in to your Spotify account on another device just to check if you observe the same. If it doesn't occur on a different device, we'd suggest making sure that your original device is up to speed with any software updates available.

Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

Every time it updates I have to do a clean install its the only way it will allow me to change my storage preference this is getting tedious. The first couple of times ok now it to the point of I am looking for another music app to use.

I've performed a full clean reinstall and so far so good. I'll keep an eye on it for a while though because it's been intermittent and only happened every couple of weeks or so
Thanks for the advice anyway meanwhile
