I’m on an Apple Silicon Mac mini M1, but it was also happening on my previous Mac, which wasn’t M1. I’m not sure if Windows users are also experiencing this, but I wouldn’t be surprised. I’m currently running on Mac Big Sur and always use the latest version of the Spotify app. This works until the problem starts happening again (usually a few hours later). Right now, the only solution is to completely close Spotify and re-open it. I’ve been trying to pinpoint a fix for this. Losing my mind (image source: Memes Monkey) Things I’ve tried This happens multiple times a day and the interruptions are enough to drive any person mad.
It’s extremely frustrating when I’m working and Spotify will just stop playing music. It just won’t do anything at all (as seen in the video). Sometimes a blue bar will appear saying, “Spotify can’t play the current song.” However, most of the time, I won’t even see the blue bar. You can click on a different song, but nothing works. Basically, you can press the play button, the next button, the pause button, nothing works to get the music to start playing again. In October, I began looking on Twitter to see if others had the same issue ( source). It also seems to happen when I wake my computer up from sleep and attempt to play music. The problem is that I’ll be listening to Spotify and suddenly it just stops and won’t play the next song. Spotify can’t play the current song issue It’s silly that I’m writing an entire blog post about this, but that’s how much I love Spotify and don’t want to leave it. I hope the Spotify team will eventually fix it. I’m not the only one experiencing this, and it’s been happening for 6+ months.īelow I’m going to dive into a few things I’ve tried to fix this issue, when it started, and how we can together raise more awareness around the problem. And that is when Spotify can’t play the current song. However, there has been a huge ongoing issue that is almost coming to the point of being a dealbreaker for me. I’m always trying to find new tunes to add to my curated synthwave playlist, and Spotify helps a lot with this ongoing endeavor. Spotify’s technology to discover new tracks and artists based on what you play, along with their “Discover Weekly” playlist and “Release Radar,” is hard to beat.
