spotify automatically undownloading every song off of my sd card

[carsonjohnson48]

I like to store all of my downloaded music from spotify on an SD card that way I have extra room on my phone to do other things but the problem is ill download them all and it will be good for a couple of days and then I'll open spotify and the will all be completely undownloaded. I use a blackberry PRIV . Anyone understand this?

@carsonjohnson48 hey carson, this one has come up a few times,

here are a few useful steps:

• uninstall the app, restart your device(s) and then re-install.
• next, you can sign out of all devices here.
• clear the cache for the app.
• try listening on a different device to see if the same problem occurs.

to re-install on android cleanly

Go to System Settings

- Go to "Apps" 

- Find Spotify there

- On Spotify's page, first, tap "Force Close"

- Then tap "Clear cache" if it's not greyed out.

- Then tap "Unninstall" and remove the app.

- If you can, remove the battery now. Power back on.

- Using a file manager on your phone or with your USB cable and your computer, go to Internal Storage > Android > Data and delete a folder called com.spotify.mobile.android.ui

- Reinstall Spotify from Google Play

let me know if that resolves your issue!

@carsonjohnson48 if that doesn't resolve it, 

sometimes, if spotify is outdated, an android update is completed, or indeed if the android OS is outdated, downloading issues may arise. so make sure your android and spotify is updated.

Often something occurs with the offline files on your devices. The cache may become corrupted, or mis-register what songs are available to download, and disconnect from the app.

If you follow this link you can reset your offline devices. Then you'll need to perform a quick reinstall of Spotify with these steps (make sure you restart your device after un-installing).
