Play back issue with Sonos Roam

Got my Roam today and was using it for the best part of 2 hours.

All of a sudden the music stopped and I noticed the following error in the app:

“Playback stopped in Sonos Roam. Your Spotify account is in use somewhere else”

I have a family account so there’s no possibility that others in my family were using my account.  In the end I had to select the “sign out of all devices” option in Spotify and fingers cross it seems to have worked.

First time I’ve seen this problem in the many years I’ve used Sonos and wasn’t sure if it was coincidental  with the new Roam device or if it was genuine problem.

Massive issues woth my Roam dropping music playback. I have spent 6+ hours woth Sonos support trying endless different things to resolve and still the issue persists. Multiple diagnostic tests run and still NO eeolution. No such issues on my legacy Sonos One. Can’t I just get a replacement Roam device as others appear to have received and then saying no such issues with the new Roam device. Losing the will on this now!!!!
