Go to to the Spotify APP and then "Setting" then "Music Quality" and adjust it to the highest bandwidth settings.

Note that you would always get the best quality of music with a direct connection, like the phone to USB, since some bandwidth is compressed and loss during the transfer, whenever you're steaming via anything wireless..
It sounds much better now

I'm sticking with my note10+ for now and downloaded the last version that worked for me (8.5.66.1002). Mileage may vary though.
I found the older versions here:
https://spotify.en.uptodown.com/android/versions

Uninstall spotify, download and install the apk through your phones web browser, then disable auto-update for Spotify in the play store.
I didn't know there was a chance to go back with the older software releases

I followed your instructions and I'll have a go tomorrow morning
Hopefully your version works well on mine too
I'm using a Note9 atm but planning to go with an Iphone next,just because I have carplay and I can't use it otherwise
