Spotify Hangs after playing local file in mixed playlist

Spotify Hangs after playing local file in mixed playlist

Hi All, Many searches, many possibilities, nothing relevant, made my own thread: - Spotify Hangs after playing local file and going back to "cloud" file - i.e. no my own file - Artwork changes, timer slidebar is scrolling right, but no sound. - Local files are clipped with MP3 Gain (all my files are since the early iPods and distortion with EQ) - iPhone 4S, iOS 8 - Spotify latest, although I have just deleted it to make room for iOS8 - Have to fast forward to next song to get output again, both on shuffle and to next local song from album, which does play - App just seems to hang after playing a local file. Been having this issue a while now, anyone else?

That's really interesting...I have a similar issue on Android with some local files at least, but instead of continuing to act like it's playing (without sound) it actually pauses the music altogether. It seems to be better for me in offline mode. Are you able to try that?

I experience a similar problem. I cannot synchronize my local files, otherwise Spotify will crash, even if I play remote syncronized files. So I only syncronized the remote files for now, put my Spotify in offline mode, and I avoid to plug the cable when Spotify is opened... Or I will have to delete Spotify, and do it again...

 

Happens on : iOS 8, Spotify latest version, any device (6, 5s, ipad..)

A quick fix would be very welcomed !
