About Spotify problems

Spotify problems can show up as music that will not play, the app not loading, downloads that fail, or sign-in trouble. The Spotify web player can be disturbed by ad blocking and privacy extensions, while the desktop and mobile apps depend on a stable connection unless songs are downloaded. We have not verified an official Spotify status page, so try another device and network first.

  • We read only the response headers of the HTTPS homepage; page content and features are not tested.
  • We follow at most 5 HTTPS redirects and check every new address again.
  • The whole check stops after 10 seconds.
  • Results are reused for 60 seconds; this page refreshes its saved check at most every 10 minutes.

Typical Spotify problems

An editorial list of typical problems, not based on live user reports.

  • Music stops or skips Spotify playback can stop when your phone switches networks, and songs you have downloaded keep playing without a connection. Guide: ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED
  • Web player blocked by an extension Ad blocking and privacy extensions can stop the Spotify web player from loading, so test open.spotify.com in a private window. Guide: ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT
  • Spotify does not load on this network If Spotify will not connect on one network but works on mobile data, that network may block streaming services. Guide: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
  • Sign-in keeps looping If the Spotify login page keeps reloading, clear cookies for spotify.com only and sign in with the same method you used to create the account. Guide: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
  • Downloads do not finish Downloading music in Spotify needs Premium, while the free plan can download podcasts, and every download needs free storage on the device.
  • Payment problems If Spotify says a payment failed, update the payment method on your account page to keep Premium features.

General fixes: Music

  1. Download for offline listening Downloaded songs keep playing without a connection, which helps on trains, flights and with weak mobile coverage.
  2. Check where the music plays Music apps can send playback to another device linked to your account, such as a speaker or TV. Check the connected devices menu.
  3. Look at active sessions Some plans allow playback on only one device at a time. If music stops when someone else listens, check the active sessions on the account.
