Minor difficulty with Spotify client under Windows 10
Posted: Mon Jul 20, 2020 10:52 am
As some of you may recall, I have now had a Windows 10 (Ugh!) tablet for a little over two years. I bought a larger SSD drive for it, so I can multiboot into Linux, but I have yet to make/take the time to install it, so for now, I run exclusively with Win10.
Lately, I have been having a minor difficulty with the Spotify Windows client software: since I am a free account user, Spotify will insert ads into whatever playlist I am listening to, which is understandable. However, there are times when said ads are not playing, but the software thinks they are. I just get silence. And if I try to manually force the next song to play, I get a message at the top saying that the song will play after the ads have played. But it's still not playing any ads...
When that happens, the only option I have found so far, is to close down Spotify, and restart it, which will then play whatever playlist I have going on.
This behaviour is intermittent. It will do this repeatedly for a while, then eventually, the ads will start playing again normally.
Has anyone else ever run into that kind of problem?
