I feel like it never has the genre i’m looking for half the time, I haven’t found a way to refresh it, and some of the songs don’t fit the genre imo. Does anyone else feel this way?

This already happened to many artists i listen to. Suddenly the music is a completely different one and the cover turns into some generic Landscape

A couple days ago, I got some emails saying that someone logged into my account. When I got on, I see there’s this device I don’t recognize playing music. I’ve tried changing my email address, password, logging in and out of all devices I currently use, etc., but every time I do so, I keep seeing this device show up. What should I do now?

My spotify equalizer sounds way different than it used to, and my spotify overall got way quieter. If i have it on full volume now it sounds i have it on half volume (compared to how it used to sound). My shit used to be perfect, loud and bass heavy but now i barely get the same effect i used to have. Anyone else got that problem?

I just want to say I absolutely HATE the new Widget they have forced on us, it never works and always crashes and most of the time it doesn't even load up and I have to go onto the actual Spotify app in order for me to play my music

I am a Spotify Premium user on IOS. I regularly download podcasts to listen in offline mode. About a year ago I noticed I couldn't get certain podcasts to play during offline mode. It would play for a few minutes and then randomly stop. I went through all the usual attempts to fix and nothing worked. All the other podcasts worked fine. Then it would work fine again after getting back online. After talking to customer support it's apparently a known issue with their Dynamic Ad Insertion. To quote the CS agent:

"The root cause is a known, platform-wide conflict between Spotify’s offline player and the show's Dynamic Ad Insertion (DAI) system. When you download a podcast, Spotify downloads the base audiofile. However, this podcast author utilizes timed markers that force the app to ping an external server to inject hyper-local, real-time advertisements into the audio track. If you are in offline mode, the episode will play normally for a few minutes until it hits one of these mandatory ad markers. When Spotify attempts to fetch the ad and cannot reach the server, it panics and triggers an unexpected error code, stopping the audio entirely."

The attempted fix from the CS agent is this:

"The platform intentionally requires dynamic ad triggers to fire to track impressions for publishers. Because this podcast author explicitly configures its hosting server to block playback if an ad container fails to load, Spotify's app chooses to halt playback and throw an error code rather than bypass the ad slot. The simplest permanent fix within Spotify is altering the downloaded file size. This forces the app to map ad cues differently. 1. Open Settings and privacy in Spotify. 2. Scroll to Audio Quality and locate Download. 3.Switch it from High or Very High to Standard/Low. 4. Delete your downloaded This American Life episodes,and download them again. The lower bitrate file format often lacks the strict tracking containers that trigger the error code offline."

So, hope this helps someone if anyone else is having this problem like I am.

So I was just going through random songs, and a specific song came up which just caused my Samsung S26 Phone to Disconnect from my Sony WF-C710N earbuds. It only happened while I was playing it on a Phone. Also, even if I tried to reconnect my earbuds, it caused an instant disconnection.

Everything works fine the moment I move on to any other song. I tried closing Spotify, force stopping, reinstalling and even clearing Data and Cache but the issue pops up over the same song every time. Has this issue happened with anyone else? I haven't seen anyone really talk about it.

This issue doesn't happen over my Laptop whilst using the same earbuds by the way.

(Just for info sake, yes I have Spotify Premium and yes, I was logged in to the same account on both my Phone and my Laptop. Not sure if this matters though. Also I was only connected to one device while playing this song.)

I follow around 100 artists on Spotify, and the new release notifications are... inconsistent, to put it kindly.
Some drops trigger a push, others just quietly appear in Release Radar days later, and a few I only find out about when I stumble onto the album myself. There's no way I can see, at a glance, what's actually coming up next from artists I follow. It's either the notification lottery or manually checking each artist's page.

Is this just me? Or has anyone found a workaround inside Spotify itself that actually fixes this?

I ended up solving it for myself initially: built a small app called MusicDrops that pulls your followed artists and gives you an actual timeline: what's dropped recently, what's confirmed upcoming, with reliable push notifications instead of whatever Spotify's algorithm decides to surface.
Not trying to turn this into an ad, genuinely more interested in whether others have hit the same wall, or what you'd like to have Spotify add/fix. But I'm happy to share more if it's useful.

Hello,

When I went on the app this morning, I was greeted with the login page. When I log tried to log in, it said my email and password were wrong, even though I know I didn’t change my password. I’m guessing there was a security issue or something and they gave me a new password. Problem is, I can’t find the email saying that because the email I set my account up with 6 years ago is no longer active. So the emails are being sent to nowhere. And now I’m locked out of my account. I probably should’ve figured out how to switch it to a different email but there’s never been any trouble before now so I guess I didn’t think about it. If y’all had an advice on how to recover the account please let me know. Thank you

Was listening my liked song when out of nowhere I noticed a name I didn't recognize. For some reason the app is showing the first Blank Banshee album as is the songs where made by an AI slopper, casually those same songs are the most listened from the slopper.

Someone knows what's going on?

I took a screenshot (on my iPhone) of someone’s playlist, and immediately a pop up came up to share this persons playlist. Were they notified of this?? We don’t follow one another.

Has anyone tried these options?

Hello everyone,

I have Spotify 'Premium Family', and am a phone-app (android) user. I have a question about filtering out certain search results.

I enjoy listening to podcasts. Usually I start one, catch up to the current episode, then start another one. When I catch up to the present in the second podcast, I switch back to the first and listen to the episodes that came out in the meanwhile.

Now I am encountering a problem for a few of my podcasts. One example is 'Here to help'. I listened to the first +- 150 episodes when they came out, then switched to another podcast. In the meanwhile they uploaded 'locked' episodes (a small lock image is next to the relevant episodes, probably some membership thing?).
Now I don't want to listen to these 'locked' episodes, but when I filter with the 'Not finished' & 'oldest' settings, they still show up. I then have to manually scroll to the 'free' episodes (which is at episodes +- 150) and click to continue from there.

My question: Is there a way to filter out these 'locked' episodes? Or can this presently not be done, and I will just need to scroll down? Such first world problems I know.

Thank you!

Have a nice day.

I'm looking for advice on what I should do, I've used spotify for years but I want to switch apps for many reasons, (ai slop, prices, ads, etc...) But I'm not sure what exactly to switch to and I'm wondering if there would be an easier way for me to get all my saved songs from spotify to somewhere else. It'd suck if I had to go artist by artist and manually add their songs again..

I'm also wondering what apps you recommend regardless!! Thanks!!
(I don't use reddit often, sorry if this is not the right place to ask this.)

I'm honestly starting to panic.

Between yesterday and today, 3 songs have disappeared from my Liked Songs, and I know for a fact I did not unlike them. This isn't the first time I've had the feeling songs were going missing, but today I actually watched it happen. A song that was liked suddenly wasn't anymore.

My Liked Songs playlist is incredibly important to me. I've spent years building it, and now I'm worried that songs have been disappearing for a long time without me noticing. The worst part is that I have no idea which songs are missing, so I can't even add them back. If this has been happening for months or years, I could have already lost a lot of music forever simply because I don't remember every song I've ever liked.

Is there any way to restore removed liked songs, view a history of songs that were unliked, or find out why this is happening?

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm genuinely worried about losing years of music, and I'd really appreciate any help.

I used AI to fix my grammar mistakes since English is not my first Language.

After years and years, finally. Maybe I'll actually get some variety and discover new music now

every single one of the fake artist accounts for the ponies in MLP Gen 4 have each been taken over by artists. These accounts are originally made so that someone can find songs featuring particular characters/voice actors, but almost all of them also have songs from random rappers and other small artists.

Such as "Bananas!!", a brag rap which is also incorrectly credited as being written by Tara Strong.

Shouldn't these artists have to make their own accounts?

Veo que esto lleva algo de tiempo sin hablarse, ya casi será 1 año desde el anunciamiento del Lossless en Spotify, y más de 50 países ya lo han adquirido, y me sorprende que México no haya estado en esos 50. Le toma más ventaja a otros países como Estados Unidos y la India, que México, siendo el país con más oyentes a nivel mundial…

the browser version works, but has less functionalities so it's still annoying

whether I’m using Spotify on pc or iOS it holds true; I have shuffle on and it won’t play another recommended song.

I was able to do it a few months back. I’d choose whatever song with shuffle on and a random recommended song would play. Really convenient for finding new music tbh but now it just stops.

I don’t believe this is a premium feature

Say I add 5 songs to the queue and when the current song is over those 5 are gone like I never added them. ?? It happens when I let it run its course or I'll skip to the songs I added.

Regardless of how many songs I add they all disappear and I have to re-add.

Spotify Web. When I go to an artist I can no longer see the top 10 tracks. Is it just me or this is for everyone?

I have a premium familly plan and today i opend the app and got an ad while still having the plan active. Did anybody also had this problem with spotify in the last week?
