Spotify: endless loading of playlist items

[rmburg]

Every now and again, Spotify connect randomly breaks and cannot reconnect until I reboot the device.
Last time it happened, I checked the log at /dev and saw that it was seemingly stuck in an endless loop fetching playlist items.
I was listening to a regular Spotify playlist, with smart shuffle enabled.
I don't know if this is the cause of my problem, but I'm reporting it anyway since it's most likely a bug either way, and it might even get users rate-limited by Spotify.

As can be seen in the log, it already loaded more than 200k songs.
Needless to say, my playlist does not contain this many items.
