There are two possible causes:
1) Lack of bandwidth on your local network between server and your
player
2) Spotify server running slow (some of them seem to do this
occasionally)  The plugin tries to find a server which is not running
slowly.

I suspect a problem with the spotify servers - if you leave it playing
does it eventually find a server which streams ok?  What happens is
that each time it rebuffers and writes "relogin requested" to the log
it logs out and then logs in again (to hopefully a different server). 
The idea is the different server should have less problems.
