Player doesn't play correct song after change the playlist order

[TLmaK0]

Issue found on April 13th 2018.

Endpoint(s):

• PUT https://api.spotify.com/v1/users/{user_id}/playlists/{playlist_id}

Scope(s):

• Spotify Desktop version

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open spotify desktop player
2. Play your own playlist
3. Move one song after the current playing song
4. Wait until next song starts playing
5. The player skips the next song

Expected behaviour:

The player should play next song in the playlist

Actual behaviour:

The player skips the next song

This happens at random. After the problem appears you can see the problem every time. After reboot Spotify player it works well again for hours.

Getting the playlist with api returns the correct order like in the desktop app.

I'm gonna second this. I've been having this issue for almost a year now. When I change playlist order via API (placing a different song into the "up next" slot), the desktop player (Windows) often shows the correct, new order. But then it usually skips the "new" next song and plays the "old" next song.

The bottom line is that the desktop player's order does not always sync with the official API playlist order. And this renders my app completely useless, so I'd greatly love for someone to look into this.

I skimmed old issues and found a similar concern here: https://github.com/spotify/web-api/issues/584

And we also had similar playlist ordering issues with the web player here: https://github.com/spotify/web-api/issues/529

Thanks for the report! We've heard about this issue before, sometimes changes in playlists don't make it to the clients before they start playing the next song. I'll ask around and see what the current status is.

Thanks for your nice sharing. The trouble for me to play Spotify music is about how to convert Spotify to MP3 and play on any devices freely. We know all Spotify free users can play online, there is no right for them to download or play offline with MP3 format. Fortunately, now we can catch tutorial guide on Google to teach us how to fix multiple troubles.
