Spotify Sync not working

Hey all, has anyone else has trouble with Spotify lately? A week ago I updated my music as I do monthly. All went fine. Tried to play it from my watch this week and it was blank. Playlists showed up but once I hit start there was no song, no music. The sounds and alerts from my workout still played through my headphones but there was no music. Tried to update now and sync kept failing. Uninstalled, and then installed Spotify again and went to try again and it’s not working at all. I of course have a Wi-Fi connection. I tried different playlists and none are working. Only thing that’s changed is I’m on 25.10

Same for me with my Fenix 7, it's absolutely annoying during longer runs. Whenever I'm switching Podcasts/Playlists, the watch goes blank and i can't listen to anything until I'm reconnecting to Garmin Connect.

I’ve never been able to switch playlists. Once I starts a playlist and an activity is started, it’s that playlist for the the entire activity. But the new issue is now I can’t even sync music. Like something is off software wise with Spotify

That's weird, always worked for me during activities with several Garmin devices (Forerunner, Fenix 6&7). Just stopped 2 weeks ago.

It used to. But lately, the switching, once an activity is started, doesn't. But this issue is entirely different. I can't even get playlists to play, so I did the classic what Garmin would tell me to reinstall Spotify, and now I can't even download anything.

Probably coincided with the last update.

Every time I now charge and the auto update kicks off and it never completes. My other audio provider updates fine. After it's charged I cancel the update and restart it from the spotify menu and it always works this second time.

I spent the time and effort today to fix this. Added one extra step. Uninstalled Spotify. Then turned off device, then installled Spotify again and seems to be good now.
