Hi,
I have premium account. Can play music unlimited on my computer and Black Berry. Bought an Ipad 3, downloaded the Ipad-app, log-in but can't stream music or access my playlists. Spotify says "....to stream music you need the premium account..." which I have.
Whats wrong? How to solve?
Would really appreciate guidence since this is a dead-end for my knowledge and very frustrating.
Sincerely
Roger

It keeps saying I need to be a premium user if I want to stream music on my mobile devices. But I am already a premium user and I'm paying for a service which I cannot use. Please advise...

I am premium but today it says streaming only for premium. Bounces me too radio. What do I do?
Looks like we've been unable to take a payment this month. Aww. We're not able to see exactly why but if everything's okay with your bank account give subscribing another go from your subscription page.
I have a premium account and I can listen to music offline on my laptop and phone, but not on my ipad. It won't download the songs. Any idea what's happening here?
What actually shows when you try to download? Any error messages? Try the steps in this post.
I followed all directions, uninstalled and reinstalled on my iPhone 4s, but I still can't get premium--even though it says I am a premium customer. What should I do?

Hi. Like the others, my iPad app no longer allows me to stream after initial 48 hour premium trial - just radio option. Haven't upgraded yet, but does "free" not allow streaming on demand on iOS devices? No issues on Mac.
Please advise - thanks!

@jpios - You need a Spotify Premium account to access your playlists on any mobile device including an iPad.

I am having the same problem, but on iPhone. Similar quirk I presume.
I upgraded to Premium yesterday.
I have:
Logged in and out several times
Uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times
Restarted my device several times.
My account says I am locked and loaded here on PC but doesnt apply to the devices. Pretty disappointed. Any additional tips?
