Local files suddenly unsync (repeated times), when I try to sync, Spotify goes offline

Local files suddenly unsync (repeated times), when I try to sync, Spotify goes offline

I'm having so many problems since I've bought a premium account on Spotify it makes me sad and it makes me search for revies of different stream services.

 

Right now, I'm trying to sync local files that I've already synced before (probably 4 times), and suddenly disappeared from my iPhone. And everytime I connect my app to my wi-fi, playlists are frozen on Pending, it simply doesn't sync the missing tracks. I say trying because, for some reason that it's happening a lot lately, Spotify connects to my wi-fi connection, I uncheck the playlist I want to sync (that was supposed to be fully synced), check it again (so it reanalyzes and tries to sync some more files - that's the only way I found that kind of works), it syncs some more musics, and then, Spotify goes offline, and simply can't connect again to my wi-fi for a long while (hours - once it happens, I know I gotta turn off my computer and go to sleep, and I'll have to continue trying only on the next day). All my other apps on the iPhone are still connected and working, and if I turn off the wi-fi, spotify connects via my iPhone internet - it just can't work on my wi-fi...

 

I'm not hoping to find any solution here, but, who knows...

There are quite a few bugs with local file syncing right now.

 

Every once in a while some local files will unsync randomly.

 

The app developers are aware of the bugs, and hopefully they will be fixed in a future update.

From what I have read here, these issues are ongoing and never really get fixed...  Spotify should perform more thorough beta testing before releasing new updates upon their paying customers.  Using paying customers as guinea pigs is bad business.

Spotify just recently started doing beta testing at the end of 2014 for the iOS app. It is currently in it's early stages, so hopefully over time the beta testing will help out.
