Apple CarPlay - random Spotify stuttering/skipping

Anyone else use ACP and find that the music randomly stops playing out the speakers for < 1s, a couple of times a track? I'm not sure if the correct terminology is "stuttering" or "skipping", but it's just like really short random pauses. Doesn't seem to always happen. For what it's worth, I don't think it should be related to buffering because I have my tracks downloaded for offline play. I've yet to try restarting the phone to see if it's due to CPU/memory constraints on my phone, but I guess I'll give that a try next.

Using an iPhone X on iOS 13.5.

Found another thread:

Seems it's either hit/miss with the workarounds people have been trying, or just not a viable option altogether. Notably, a "reset" of the phone may help, or the issue went away when they got a new iPhone.

Some people also mentioned positioning of the phone in the cabin closer to the antenna may help (also not a viable solution IMO), and possibly interference with a smart watch (which I don't have).

Guess I wasn't searching the right keywords when I originally tried to find an existing thread on this subforum.

My bad for opening a new one.
