Spotify stops playing after a few songs

Description

When I play a playlist on my Android, usually a few songs will play normally and then suddenly the music will stop (usually when starting a new song, but rarely also in the middle of a song). This happens no matter if I'm in offline mode or not, but I'm only playing playlists that I have downloaded to the phone, not streaming ones (haven't tried it with streaming ones over WiFi).

 

Sometimes the app will still be open, showing the play button but no song selected, the time bar displaying 0.01 at the far right, sometimes the app will crash altogether, sometimes I get an error message ("Ungültiger Pfad" which is German for "invalid path" or "path not found").

Especially annoying when driving, by the way.

 

What are the steps you took to get to the error/issue?

1. I open Spotify on Android

2. I select a downloaded playlist

3. I click "Shuffle & Play"

4. I wait. 🙂
