My Question or Issue

I removed my SIM and microSD cards (both on the same tray), then placed them back, and i noticed my downloads (2.000+ songs stored on the microSD card) were gone. Also no warning in the app, and no info at all about this on your site, which is outrageous.

Are the songs actually deleted from the SD card? That's odd that they would just disappear unless you didn't eject the SD card and it got corrupted.

several minutes after i popped the cards back in the phone, i checked my phone and saw the notification that Spotify was redownloading my playlist again. The storage setting switched by itself to internal storage, and there was no music downloaded at all anymore

Sorry to hear this, the only thing I can think of is eject the SD card before removing it. Good to hear it is downloading your songs now.
