Why does Spotify keep skipping songs, no possibility to listen to music! When I click play on a Title, it just skips through all the songs after 0:01 seconds in the song, making it not possible to hear any song. It just rushes through all my music and I don’t know why. I even installed the newer version and the problem persists. — — Lynneau from Reddit

Similar issue happens to many Spotify users while they’re streaming songs on their devices. It could be on the phone, computer, or the smart speaker. But Spotify doesn’t seem to have offered a complete solution to solve this glitch.

So in the following parts, I’m going to show you how to fix this issue with common workarounds and an ultimate trick to solve Spotify skipping songs randomly issue permanently.

Fix Spotify Keeps Skipping Songs (Common Solutions)

There used to be a time when users worldwide reported Spotify rapidly skipping songs out of no obvious reason, and eventually they found out that the problem came from the Spotify servers. So if your Spotify keeps skipping songs, you can resort to the internet to find if others are having the same problem at the same time. If it’s just you having the problem, follow these steps to fix it:

1. Restart Your Device

This sounds obvious but it is the easiest way to solve your Spotify rapidly skipping songs issue. Anything wrong could happen to apps on your device when it is not working well, so just restart your device, and see what happens.

2. Check Your Internet Connection

A bad internet connection could possibly cause the problem. If your Spotify skips every song without playing anything, close the Spotify app, and go to your internet settings on your device. Check the internet and see if it works while using other apps. If you don’t know how to determine whether the internet is in good standing or not, you can simply restart your router to refresh the whole internet connection.

3. Log Out and Log In Your Spotify Account Again

You can sign out your Spotify account on your app or go to Spotify web page to sign out everywhere. To Signout everywhere:

1. Go to Spotify.com and log in to your account.

2. Click Profile > Account > scroll down and click SIGN OUT EVERYWHERE.

4. Reinstall Spotify App

Sometimes the problem may come out of the Spotify app itself, delete the app and then reinstall it through the authorized app store. The problem may be gone with the old one.

5. Lower the Streaming Quality

If you’re streaming Spotify songs in high quality, the song may get paused or skipped when the internet environment is not good enough. So by lowering the streaming quality, the problem will be easily solved.

6. Go to Offline Mode

If you still can’t fix the problem with solutions above, you can go to offline mode to stream songs that you’ve already downloaded. This will not require an internet connection and it will only skip songs that are unavailable offline.
