Problem with queue and Spotify Connect

I'm on a premium family plan

Using iPhone 11pro - iOS 13.3.1

Spotify Connect

Yamaha RX-A670 Receiver - latest firmware as of postdate

USA

Have restarted phone

Updated to latest Spotify

Did a clean uninstall/reinstall of Spotify

Problem has been going on since the beginning of the year at least

 

If I start playing an album or playlist, then add songs to my queue, it works fine at first. But after several songs, this glitch occurs every time. The next song in the queue will play, but the app (either on the lock screen or in the app proper) will be displaying some other song that was played much earlier, usually from whatever album, playlist or station had been playing before I added to queue. If I don't do anything, it will keep playing the next songs in the queue, although it will continue to be stuck displaying the same random song as though it is currently playing. This causes problems when I want to skip a song, because it then effectively skips two songs in the queue and catches up to the next song. At this point, it will display the correct currently playing song, although is missed one song in the queue. But after a few more songs, the glitch occurs and the currently playing song does not match with the song being displayed. 

 

The other very annoying piece is that sometimes, when the glitch occur, it does NOT advance to the next song in the queue but repeats the most recently played song, while still displaying the wrong currently playing song.

 

Again, this is all using my iPhone and Spotify Connect on the Yamaha receiver. But, I have had this problem when streaming to Bluetooth in my car. 

 

Only other quirk is that if I open the Yamaha app on my phone, IT will show the correct currently playing song even when Spotify is glitching and showing the wrong currently playing song. But I rarely run the two apps at the same time.

 

I've searched the knowledge base but didn't find an answer. This is really making it hard to use the service the way I want to, hoping this can be addressed somehow.

 

Thanks for your time.
