Anyone else had problems with Spotify just stopping mid track, and then starting again a few seconds later. And then stopping again. Annoying.

Usually it's down to a fault Spotifys end if/when i do get problems......
So the first place i check if i'm having problems with Spotify is http://www.spotify.com/en/help/service-status/, to see if it's a problem their end,which appears it is ATM.

Never had a problem with it; I do occasionally have problems with my ISP service dropping out briefly, but that only happens at certain times in the day (early evening on and off,late evening is fine), but I don't believe anything with Spotify directly.

I have similar issues. Until these problems get sorted out streaming from the internet is never going to become an acceptable way to listen.

At least with Spotify Premium you can download music and listen off line and so get round the issues. I am not aware of any other streaming service that lets you do that. All the others primarily want you to buy downloads.
Steaming music, as it grows in popularity is going to be an issue in this country as BT will not invest in serious broadband bandwidth. Spotify, when I had an email exchange with them when the problem first arose, stated that the UK was the worst in Europe. When you see the bandwidths provided in the likes of South Korea (I dont have figures to hand, but they are way head of us) we are lagging way behind.

Currently 100Mbps in most places with a massive drive from Government and industry to roll out 1Gbps by 2012
(They started investing in 100Mbps back in 2003)
Most of our Government are too thick to know what 'an internet' is and are still wetting themselves in excitement over the 'Digital Britain' report which states....
"Universal access to today's broadband by 2012...."
What a contrast in ambitions for 2012!
