Is the problem only rooted in specific songs or is it different when you re-download the list? When you downloaded these songs, were they from some different source? Or is there any other kind of connecting factor that you can find or think of?

If there's nothing you can think of, could you let me know what some of the problematic songs are and where you got them? Also, are you still sane?

Set exceptions for spotify in any firewall or internet security programme. If you are unsure how to do this, temporarily disable them.
