Songs stop playing when using spotify offline on iphone 4s.

[Didrikzo]

I have alot of remixes downloaded from soundcloud and I've added them to my offline playlists on my phone. The playlists containing the downloaded songs will randomly stop playing sound (timer continues) and it will not go to the next song when the "muted" song is done playing. Pressing skip on the muted song seems to fix the problem for a while. It doesn't only stop on the local songs, it also stops on the songs directly from spotify. If i remove the local songs the playlist is back to normal.

This gets pretty annoying as every 5 or so song i will have to unlock my song in order to press skip, then it will work for another 5 or so songs. When playing songs online through wifi there is no problem at all. Is there any fix to this or will i have to live with it.

@Didrikzo Welcome to the Spotify Community!

Importing music from another source might be slightly risky - as it may or may not playback well.. Do you face the same issue with songs from the Spotify catalogue?

[Didrikzo]

Yes, if they're in the same playlist as the local songs, but why is it only in offline mode and not when Im connected to the wifi?

@Didrikzo I presume that you're a premium subscriber to the service?

Yes I am 🙂

Are you able to test this on a playlist that has only Spotify songs? Because I just replied to another user that has an issue when local and spotify songs are mixed and they couldn't get it to work.

Seems like someone else is having the same problem too:
