My Question or Issue

Since a few days all the playlist “For You” (Daily Mixes, Rock-Mix, Chill-Mix, …) are acting weird.  When I start a list the songs displayed aren’t played.  It plays random songs.  I’ve also noticed that it updates the list but still don’t play what’s displayed.  Logged out on all my devices (several times now), cleared cache & downloads but the problem keeps returning.  What else can I do?  Sometimes it’s plays the first 2/3 songs of the list and then it start playing other songs.  Or when a list is started with the play button, it starts with completely different songs …

I’m using Spotify for years now and haven’t had any major problem yet until now.

Hey there, @C_4Tfour,

Thanks for reaching out!

Does this occur with a specific device or across all your devices? It's worth checking if there aren't any leftover songs in the queue from a previous listening session. You can remove them with the Clear queue button.

Should the behavior persist, I'd recommend performing a clean reinstall of the app on all affected devices - this will rule out any potential issues with corrupted cache and ensure you're running the latest version of Spotify available.

Let us know how it goes 👍

Hi Yordan,

I’ve been in contact with Spotify Support.  They noticed that I almost had 9.000 liked numbers.  According to them this could cause the problems in my account.  I’ve removed this all but since a few days the problem is back.  The specific playlist show a new cover but when you select them it’s still an old one with the same music.  Only when I log out everywhere 2 times shortly after each other, the playlist are renewed.  I only reïnstalled the app on my iPad & iPhone.  On my laptop(s) I stil have to do this.  

Actually, I will remove the app on all devices and install only on iPhone and see what happens.

For the last couple of days, I've been trying to listen to the daily mix playlist. The first song plays correctly and then the app plays songs randomly which are not included in the playlist. Also the thumbnail and the artists details shown on the home page doesn't match once the playlist is opened. Hope this can be fixed.
