My Question or Issue

This happens on both Windows and Andriod. Spotify loses the positions of podcasts which are generally over 20mins. This happens randomly and sparodicaly. I can't seem to pin down what is uniquely causing this issue,  and it is effecting both devices.

It appears that this topic is brought up again and again, however the prevailing community advice is leave Spotify and go to Google Music. If a member of spotify staff could at the very least offer advice on how to solve this or at the very least acknowledge this issue.

I am not sure how spotify is saving the positions on files but I can't see this being a big issue. Let alone happening on a local device.

I have had this happen both when connected and disconnected from the internet, when I have both desktop and Phone versions open and when I have Just the phone version open.

Any advice on how to fix this issue or advice on when a fix will be provided would be greatly appreciated.
