Songs keep repeating in any type of playlist I put on

[Greyman101]

Regardless of what type of playlist I am listening to (self curated, Spotify playlist, artist Radio, etc.) the same songs will play repeatedly throughout the listening experience. This is occurring when 95-99% of the playlist hasn’t been played yet (sometimes the same song will play again with only one different song between plays). 

To be clear…

This occurs with and without shuffle play enabled. 

Any kind of playlist. 

I noticed it started happening around December 25th. 

I am currently using version 8.8.0.384 of the app. 

I primarily use iOS version 16.1.2 on an iPhone 13 to control the app. 

I hope Spotify gets a handle on this soon. I’m ready to jump ship.

Hey @Greyman101,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community and welcome. We hope you don't mind us moving your post out of the Chats section to one of our Help boards as it fits better here.

This type of issue is commonly related to the play queue. Sometimes, you can add an entire playlist or album to the queue by mistake, so first; we'd recommend clearing the play queue by following the steps mentioned in this article to see if it makes any difference.

If the issue persists, it could be also related to some damaged cache stored on your device. In this case, we'd suggest performing a clean reinstall of the app by following the steps in this article. This is often an overlooked step, but it's more thorough than a quick one and can be helpful in getting rid of any cache that might be causing trouble.

Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

This has been happening for a year or two now for me. It drifts in and out. Spotify obviously can’t find the fix? Prices increase and this issue remains
