Pausing on ads

I’m having an issue wherein Spotify locks up, or rather, pauses at random ads. A song will finish, and the ad loads, but does not play automatically. Rather, it pauses, with a “unable to complete playback…” error box.  Wherein, I have to hit the “ok” to dismiss, then the pause button, and then the play button in order for the ad to play. This is highly distracting especially while trying to drive … in rush hour no less!

And before you ask, yes, I fully removed the app and did a clean install.  And yes, it does this at home as well while connected to HS internet.  And no, it’s not a specific ad either.  
This only started happening within the past couple of weeks.
