   Try this workaround, it should work:

   musichandler.Mute()
   Thread.Sleep(1000) //Should be enough
   musichandler.Play()

   I tried that some time ago and I think it worked 😀

   Thanks, it works 😄

   Maybe it's good idea to do something like that:

   void Mute()
   {
       // Mute code...
   
       if (isAd && isPlaying)
       {
           Thread.Sleep(1000);
           musichandler.Play();
       }
   }

   What do you think?

   Yea, it would make sense, but here is the reason why i won't do this:

   If i implement that function directly in my API, i would provide a way to bypass the advertisment-System from Spotify. So, Spotify could "maybe" contact me and take the software from the internet, because it's against their license etc.
   But if i leave it like now, the user needs to implement the function and is responsible for this action.

   I hope you can understand my point of view
