Spotify crossfade greyed out when playing from Ikea Sonos but not when playing from device

Hi,

I've recently come across this issue where Spotify doesn't crossfade into the next song, I checked settings in the Sonos app and crossfade button doesn't do anything. I also checked the Spotify app settings and the crossfade is greyed out.

 

But when I go through the Spotify app to change to play from 'current device' the crossfade in the Spotify app does work but greys out again when I want to play music from the Sonos speakers.

 

I have checked for updates on both apps

 

Does anyone know a work around?

Thank you

The Spotify crossfade issue has been something that has been raised here in the past - see these couple of links (two of several such threads):

The first thread-link suggests saving the Spotify playing queue as a Sonos playlist and then the crossfade feature can be enabled (not ideal, I guess?🤔).

I’m not a Spotify subscriber, so can’t really comment further on the matter.
