Spotify app cuts off end of songs

I see there have been other threads over the last couple of years about this. I don't frequently use roku for Spotify - but do occasionally. I've never had this problem before and now I suddenly do.

Not a fan of the "related videos" popping up between every song on an album either. But the hardest part is the end of a song (songs??) getting chopped off.

Why is this happening? It's not even a playlist, it's an artist's album. I checked to see if the Spotify app required updating - nope, up to date. Which wasn't a surprise, because it looks different today than when I last saw it (including the annoying "related videos" as mentioned above.

i would ask how to fix this but if this question has been asked for two years... is there even a fix? Anyone else having this problem (suddenly?) in 2025?

For clarification, the final song on the album I was listening to before making this post stopped 4 seconds early. And it was extremely noticeable as there's no silence at the end of this particular song. But I've just tried another album and it didn't happen. Then I tried a third, and it did.

if it's relevant, my settings in my Spotify account specify zero cross-fade and such, no autoplay, and such.
