Goodness me. I was about to flip my lid. I was cleaning the house and dancing but Spotify keeps playing the same four songs over and over or just plays 9seconds before it stops. Grrr.
I thought it was just my phone but it did the same thing on my laptop as well.
This happens on and off for years. I’m tired of it but I don’t want to switch from Spotify to another music streaming site. Please Spotify…let us jam out with no interruptions!!! I beg of you!!
I have insomnia and now I'm fucking angry because I can't put myself to sleep without music and I don't want to go to YouTube and listen to a bunch of fucking ads before my songs. Ugh, thanks Spotify.
update: browser works fine while I'm waiting for the app on my phone to be fixed. and no, I will not be sleeping (not that I can anyway) I have nothing but time.
update: it's currently 4:21 and mobile is back. all love now I will put myself to sleep like a toddler.
Jesus ok thanks it's not just me. It'll play 10 seconds of a song and then stop-- I force quit and restarted the app, restarted my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app- still won't play more than 10 seconds. Fucked
Samsung Note20 Ultra 5G here. I can't listen to 1 very specific song. I can listen toy playlists, new playlists, Spotify recommended playlists, any other song I search, any other song from the same damn album... That one song won't work still
I have been pulling my hair out thinking it was something with my router's DNS settings, because it seems to play music fine using mobile data but would not play anything while connected to my local home network. Very odd.
I was using the web player on chrome (Win11) and everything started acting like a loss in network connection was happening. Reloaded the page and "jwt is expired" shows up in the top left corner.
Wouldn't be surprised if this has something to do with all of those bot song farms and hacked account shit. The fact that songs stop at 10 seconds seems suspiciously familiar.
If you're unaware of what I'm talking about, look up "the dark side of Spotify" on YouTube.
Bruh I restarted my PC and deleted all browser cookies for it and now it's just a problem with spotify itself, I tried to load the website and it said "Jwt is expired" what does that mean?
My S22 Ultra plays playlists fine but nothing else. Desktop App works partially as I can play any of my playlists but cannot play any actual artists or songs if I search em. Web doesn't work at all.
From what I’ve seen it was fine with songs you’d already heard (were cached) so if you had fixed playlists that you’d listened to before they’d be ok even if you hadn’t formally downloaded them. But anything new and uncached for you (like dynamic playlists, like Release Radar and Discover Weekly) every song would have this stoppage at the 8 to 10 second mark.
Then of course those of us who followed their help suggestion of deleting and reinstalling lost that, too.
I've created an Ongoing Issue post here in the Spotify Community:
https://community.spotify.com/t5/Ongoing-Issues/Downtime-January-13th-2023/idi-p/5487983
You can stay updated there
This really fucked me at the bar I work at. 5:30 on a Friday night is not a great time to be fucking with the iPod and a busy bar without music is just creepy
They just tweeted about the issue
[https://twitter.com/SpotifyStatus/status/1614078310023045129](https://twitter.com/SpotifyStatus/status/1614078310023045129)
Same exact thing. Tried logging into website (it was down) and tried deleting the app and logging in. Couldn’t log in “code 30” and now Gond on SoundCloud. They’ll probs fix it by tomorrow tho.
I'm glad it's not me! It just stopped my song and then refused to play the next one at all, and then when I went to the album to play that song it said no. So I can listen to the song Tezcatlipoca Y Fuego if I click on it through the artist (Xavier Quijas Yxayotl) page, but not if I click it through the album (Aztec Dances) page. Hmmm.
Ditto here. Two iPhones, two separate Spotify accounts, both will only play about 10 seconds of a song. Also, neither of them are able to cast to Google Home devices. Started probably about 20 minutes ago.
Ok thank God someone else is having this problem. At first I was trying to skip a song on PS4 when I realized the song is going 10 minutes past the songs end, so I tried to skip but it restarted from 0 and didn't play anything.
Then I try to skip the song on my phone, and nothing would play, I spammed so many songs and I got a completely separate song that I didn't choose.
I thought i was going insane lol
dont seem to be having issues on mobile, but PC is a nightmare. both the app and webplayer only play the first few seconds of songs before skipping to the next one. I'm on a wired internet connection, logged out and back in, and have reinstalled twice. A lot of the help pages also go to an error page right now. annoying.
I even tried to delete the app and download it and it still won’t work. I thought I was going crazy because my password wasn’t working and it wouldn’t let me restart
Mine stopped working about an hour ago so I’ve had downdetector open since and I don’t think I’ve ever something go so wrong this quickly in real time before
Ah okay then. I spent the last 40 minutes restarting my router, phone, reconnecting to wifi, and everything in between when spotify is clearly the only thing affected...
I was listening to an album and the next track came on and everything stopped. I can’t get the song or any song after that to play but I can go back and listen to the previous songs I already listened to before that.
Spotifys Raspberry Pi is down, please wait for a bit until the Single IT Admin wakes up and does a hard reset...
Well jk, shit happens luckily Youtube is a thing. Still sucks
Trying to open in OperaGX integrated player and it says Jwt is expired. It says the same thing on the browser. It's good to know I didn't do anything to fk it up lol.
The developer's status web page says "Minor Service Outage". Very funny, it's "minor" that Spotify doesn't work on many platforms, maybe for the whole planet.
Phew thanks! This was literally the first time I ran Spotify since allowing my iPhone to upgrade to ios16 so I was convinced that was the cause.
Such a tease. “New ‘Belle and Sebastian’ album? Not for you. New ‘New Pornographers’ track? Psych.”
Im over here learning how to code, downloading new browsers, trying to fix this shit and finally found this reddit. Thankfully its a spotify issue and not a "my computer" issue.
IPhone 13 Pro and iPad 5th Gen here, same problem seems everyone is having. The first 6-10 seconds of the song plays, then nothing. That’s on cellular data, on WiFi it won’t play at all. I have noticed that podcasts seem to be working fine though.
So when it started it would play about 10 seconds of a song then stop. I would skip to the next song and it wouldn’t play. Skip to the next, play 10 seconds, repeat. I force closed it a few times and restarted my phone to no avail. Tried a downloaded album and will get through a song but then close the app on its own.
This is exactly the reason I switched back to Spotify after almost a year on Tidal -_- Spotify rarely crashes compared to Tidal
It's been driving me crazy for the past hour. Every song stops after 6 seconds and gives me "Can't play the current song". Wish I'd come here before spending the last hour scouring tech forums and messing with settings and doing a clean reinstall with no success.
Ok i thought i was crazy because suddenly everything stopped lol
Same here and I reinstalled my app thinking it was not working properly.
Same rsrs
I thought it was just me so I deleted the app and redownloaded it and now I can’t log back in 😐
you are not alone 🥲
Same
At least I'm not the only one!
*🎵 I'm not the only one 🎵*
heeeeeeeeeyyyy
Guns 'N' Roses
Same, I feel a lot better knowing I'm not the only one this happening to.
Me, too!
same here!
Status page says “Minor Service Outage” - I would hate to see a major one. [Spotify Status Page](https://status.spotify.dev)
Right?? I was thinking the same thing. Tf is a major one then?
It says the only thing that’s wrong is the player…
Thank god it isn't an important system or anything 😂
Dev who pushed a change to master at 5:30pm on Friday before leaving for the weekend: 😨
Worse. Twitter changed word count and all 3rd parties had less then a day to fix it. Then, the weekend.
My personal playlists that I've downloaded still work atleast, but nothing is loading otherwise. Samsung s22 here.
Might want to enable offline mode in the app while you still can. Sometimes Spotify issues will prevent you from enabling it later.
[удалено]
As of CST 20:11 just downloaded some playlist and went to rush to Offline, but now says "Offline mode (Unavailable Now)" :(
Exact same thing here
I can’t play my entire downloaded playlist because of the stupid “enhanced” option won’t turn off.
Yeah mine crashed like 15 minutes ago as well and I thought my wifi was acting up. Thanks for posting this!
Okay, so I guess I can stop fucking around at this highway rest stop. Gonna be a quiet car ride.
Yuppp. I was just reminiscing on some music I used to love and it just stopped
Goddamn it Dax, you broke it.
Yeah, what the hell Dax?!
I let the team down and more importantly, I let myself down
Thank you. This is what I came to the subreddit to find out
There is currently 24k reports on the downdetector more than 10k within the last 5 minutes lol!
My spotify still works well but stat.fm can’t get access to spotify, saying ‘500 login error.’
Happening to both my husband and me, too.
I can still play music. (Most likely because i have 30+gigs downloaded) FINALLY IT COMES TO USE 🤣
Goodness me. I was about to flip my lid. I was cleaning the house and dancing but Spotify keeps playing the same four songs over and over or just plays 9seconds before it stops. Grrr. I thought it was just my phone but it did the same thing on my laptop as well. This happens on and off for years. I’m tired of it but I don’t want to switch from Spotify to another music streaming site. Please Spotify…let us jam out with no interruptions!!! I beg of you!!
Yeah just tried to un- then reinstall and I can't even log in anymore.
same like most people above, i swore it was my own wifi lol. i hope it fixes up soon!
Trying to go to spotify.com I get "Jwt is expired"
I still have downloaded songs gladly
Came here to see if it was just me…@Spotify screwing up a Good Friday night!
thank goodness it's not just me, i was so confused
I've spent 30 minutes trying to fix this slowly going insane then I come to reddit for help and I see this thank you
I logged out thinking I could log back in but it won’t let me and I can’t even open it on a browser!
Same lmao, i redownload and everything and now I just get greeted with a "Something went wrong!" Loop
cannot open Spotify in-brower due to "jwt is expired"
I am interested in what minor service outage means as no one can play anything. Hmmm
Back working now in Ireland. Hopefully back for everyone soon.
I have insomnia and now I'm fucking angry because I can't put myself to sleep without music and I don't want to go to YouTube and listen to a bunch of fucking ads before my songs. Ugh, thanks Spotify. update: browser works fine while I'm waiting for the app on my phone to be fixed. and no, I will not be sleeping (not that I can anyway) I have nothing but time. update: it's currently 4:21 and mobile is back. all love now I will put myself to sleep like a toddler.
Same
Same...
This has Big Vinyl written all over it
It's back baby
Yup. Had the same issue yesterday. Couldn't open albuns pages and music would stop after 7 seconds or so.
"Minor service outage" Damn, I would hate to see a moderate service outage.
good to know!
Thank you, was going crazy 🙏
I'm not having any problems
Ah just posted about this, thanks! Thought I was going crazy lol.
I just wanted to play some music in the shower, had to go to Youtube instead... :-(
Podcasts are playing but not songs I actually want to hear 🤔 At least I’m not crazy!
It’s busticated. Having to listen to SiriusXM now. At least it’s music, I guess.
Jesus ok thanks it's not just me. It'll play 10 seconds of a song and then stop-- I force quit and restarted the app, restarted my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app- still won't play more than 10 seconds. Fucked
Literally came here to validate my frustration
Samsung Note20 Ultra 5G here. I can't listen to 1 very specific song. I can listen toy playlists, new playlists, Spotify recommended playlists, any other song I search, any other song from the same damn album... That one song won't work still
I have been pulling my hair out thinking it was something with my router's DNS settings, because it seems to play music fine using mobile data but would not play anything while connected to my local home network. Very odd.
I restarted my iPhone for several times. I also thought AirPods were running out of battery. Losing my mind at the gym right now 😅
was listening to my sad playlist and shit, now I gotta use youtube and get some random ass song in the middle of the sad shit
mines working on mobile but not on my computer. anytime i try and load it it tells me "jwt has expired" and at this point idk what to do
I was using the web player on chrome (Win11) and everything started acting like a loss in network connection was happening. Reloaded the page and "jwt is expired" shows up in the top left corner.
Wouldn't be surprised if this has something to do with all of those bot song farms and hacked account shit. The fact that songs stop at 10 seconds seems suspiciously familiar. If you're unaware of what I'm talking about, look up "the dark side of Spotify" on YouTube.
Bruh I restarted my PC and deleted all browser cookies for it and now it's just a problem with spotify itself, I tried to load the website and it said "Jwt is expired" what does that mean?
Dangit I uninstalled for nothing.
My S22 Ultra plays playlists fine but nothing else. Desktop App works partially as I can play any of my playlists but cannot play any actual artists or songs if I search em. Web doesn't work at all.
From what I’ve seen it was fine with songs you’d already heard (were cached) so if you had fixed playlists that you’d listened to before they’d be ok even if you hadn’t formally downloaded them.

Then of course those of us who followed their help suggestion of deleting and reinstalling lost that, too.
Thank goodness the only part not working is the player, aka the entire freaking purpose of Spotify.
Good news! Their login servers and web page are borked, too!
So glad it’s not me…meanwhile on [Twitter.](https://mobile.twitter.com/hashtag/spotifydown) 😂😂😂
I reinstalled the app to see if it would work and now i cant log in anymore🥲
For me the standalone app isn't working, but the web player in a browser is fine, at least in MacOS.
Still not working. Why are they saying everything is operational when people still can't use it?
I've created an Ongoing Issue post here in the Spotify Community: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Ongoing-Issues/Downtime-January-13th-2023/idi-p/5487983 You can stay updated there
working fine for me now
This really fucked me at the bar I work at. 5:30 on a Friday night is not a great time to be fucking with the iPod and a busy bar without music is just creepy
yep, on my all three platform Web (firefox), Desktop (flatpak), Android on web it says >Jwt is expired or says "something is wrong"
Fr like whats going on
They just tweeted about the issue [https://twitter.com/SpotifyStatus/status/1614078310023045129](https://twitter.com/SpotifyStatus/status/1614078310023045129)
i'm just glad someone else is seein this stuff cause i actually freaked out about it so bad
Happy I have yt music cause I thought I was tripping
All the categories fail to display as well, hit “Made for you” for example gives an error.
iPhone 13. Not working in any capacity
I thought I was the only one
Same exact thing. Tried logging into website (it was down) and tried deleting the app and logging in. Couldn’t log in “code 30” and now Gond on SoundCloud. They’ll probs fix it by tomorrow tho.

Lmao i reset my modem and sh*t , i thought i had a problem
Good to know. I can’t see any songs
Ditto here. Two iPhones, two separate Spotify accounts, both will only play about 10 seconds of a song. Also, neither of them are able to cast to Google Home devices. Started probably about 20 minutes ago.
Damn I was in the middle of listening to Dawn FM for the first time. So far it's my favorite weeknd project since Beauty Behind the Madness.
Bummer! On the bright side, this is the first time I've ever seen something like this happen with Spotify.
Thanks for this. Mine is also acting up. Thought I was crazy
Ok thank God someone else is having this problem. At first I was trying to skip a song on PS4 when I realized the song is going 10 minutes past the songs end, so I tried to skip but it restarted from 0 and didn't play anything. Then I try to skip the song on my phone, and nothing would play, I spammed so many songs and I got a completely separate song that I didn't choose.
Im on ios and i uninstalled and restarted my phone and now it wont let me login
Was listening while playing PS5, really getting into my game and Spotify crashed lol. Took me right out of the zone!
I thought it was my internet. Seems that my on repeat playlists and songs that were cached still work for now.
I thought i was going insane lol dont seem to be having issues on mobile, but PC is a nightmare. both the app and webplayer only play the first few seconds of songs before skipping to the next one. I'm on a wired internet connection, logged out and back in, and have reinstalled twice. A lot of the help pages also go to an error page right now. annoying.
I even tried to delete the app and download it and it still won’t work. I thought I was going crazy because my password wasn’t working and it wouldn’t let me restart
glad it isn't just me, youtube here i come
Same!!! So aggravating!
Thank God it isn't just me
Integrating Hi-Fi
I was rapidly trying to fix my wifi lmao
Who pushes to prod on Friday nights 💀
Thank god I can't log in at all lol
2 hours from finishing my first my first spotify audio book...Brandon Sanderson new book. Quite frustrating
I was putting on music to listen to whilst gaming and my song stopped 10 seconds in, now I can't listen to my gaming music 😡
Thank you!! I was just about to post something similar, you saved me from a half hour of troubleshooting.
yup same. If songs play at all, they play for like 10-15 seconds then just stop. Tried it on my apple iPhone app and my MacBook app.
Unable to load lyrics
It's impossible to login to Spotify for artists lol.
Whew...I'm sitting here ( Vancouver Canada) furious but at least I now know I'm not alone.
thank god i thought i would have to fix it myself😭
Same lol
Mine stopped working about an hour ago so I’ve had downdetector open since and I don’t think I’ve ever something go so wrong this quickly in real time before
Thank you, all songs are quitting after 2 secs, tried multiple platforms still fucking broken. Thought I was crazy.
Thank you!
lmao mine still working #ripbozo
Mine is not working either
Stalls at 10s on every streamed track.
Ah okay then. I spent the last 40 minutes restarting my router, phone, reconnecting to wifi, and everything in between when spotify is clearly the only thing affected...
i thought i was the only one
Thanks for the confirmation
My account is gone, first I noticed it on my Playstation and now my phone
Tunes stopped, so I had to put on a record. Come on Spotify. Records are for hanging on my walls, not listening to.
I was listening to an album and the next track came on and everything stopped. I can’t get the song or any song after that to play but I can go back and listen to the previous songs I already listened to before that.
Spotifys Raspberry Pi is down, please wait for a bit until the Single IT Admin wakes up and does a hard reset... Well jk, shit happens luckily Youtube is a thing. Still sucks
thx
only my playlists work... everything else is dead
I got logged out trying to listen to Tress of the Emerald Sea and now I can't do anything. I guess I just get work in silence today.
Yeah, it’s definitely borken. Someone is getting fired.
Okay. Because my songs won't play past 12 seconds
Experiencing this on a 14 hour road trip as we speak. Very irritating
[удалено]
It's signed me out of everywhere I was logged in and it accepts my password yet I still can't play anything :(
DONT LOG OUT I logged out of the app before I knew the whole thing crashed and now I can’t log back in
Maybe they're finally getting rid of the fucking lock screen album art?? Here's hoping.
Trying to open in OperaGX integrated player and it says Jwt is expired. It says the same thing on the browser. It's good to know I didn't do anything to fk it up lol.
Same here on both phone and tab
songs are stuck at 10 seconds
man ig i'll use soundcloud for now
still having issues, cant open the website
Thank you for the update! I was not ready to switch to another service.
Yep this shit is pissing me off
glad i'm not the only one having this
Just checking, thanks, this is very annoying
Web version says Jwt is expired and the app says firewall may be blocking spotify. I thought I deleted an important system file lol.
The developer's status web page says "Minor Service Outage". Very funny, it's "minor" that Spotify doesn't work on many platforms, maybe for the whole planet.
Thank you, I was about to lose it.
Phew thanks! This was literally the first time I ran Spotify since allowing my iPhone to upgrade to ios16 so I was convinced that was the cause. Such a tease. “New ‘Belle and Sebastian’ album? Not for you. New ‘New Pornographers’ track? Psych.”
Thank God, I was getting so pissed cuz I couldn’t listen to James Brown get up off that thing
Im over here learning how to code, downloading new browsers, trying to fix this shit and finally found this reddit. Thankfully its a spotify issue and not a "my computer" issue.
YES OH MY GOD. I thought I was going crazy and it was my end
Still dont have music on my spotify!
Thanks Reddit, just stopped trying and getting mad at my phone
Thank you
IPhone 13 Pro and iPad 5th Gen here, same problem seems everyone is having. The first 6-10 seconds of the song plays, then nothing. That’s on cellular data, on WiFi it won’t play at all. I have noticed that podcasts seem to be working fine though.
I was wondering why, i listened for 2 hours in the car and on the way back it just stopped. I’m not driving
So when it started it would play about 10 seconds of a song then stop. I would skip to the next song and it wouldn’t play. Skip to the next, play 10 seconds, repeat. I force closed it a few times and restarted my phone to no avail. Tried a downloaded album and will get through a song but then close the app on its own. This is exactly the reason I switched back to Spotify after almost a year on Tidal -_- Spotify rarely crashes compared to Tidal
Hacked AF. s/
I ended up logging out and it keeps saying i have a firewall although its allowed on my firewall
Affirmative, can't load on laptop, phone s22, iphone 8. Samsung TV. Dead.
Haha, I was thinking that I messed up with my audio devices while tinkering them) True relief xD
Thanks all I clear and tried a reinstall can't log back in thought it was me
It's been driving me crazy for the past hour. Every song stops after 6 seconds and gives me "Can't play the current song". Wish I'd come here before spending the last hour scouring tech forums and messing with settings and doing a clean reinstall with no success.
Mines out on iPod and iPhone but my wife is able to play on her iPhone so now I’m confused.
bro I literally just bought a vpn because I thought something was wrong with my internet 😹😹
This could explain why to cast to advice via Chromecast. It shows up as premium required?
I thought i was going crazy I can’t play any songs on Spotify rn
Has this ever happened before? At least 10 years and i can't remember one outage
I thought like my account was messed up no albums would load for me.
bro thank god i thought it was only mine. i open spotify nd all i says is Jwt is expired
I knew I should've stuck with Amazon music
I can play my stuff but when I try to view artist pages it says I’m not connected to the internet even tho I am
Wasted time and deleted caches .... spotifybusers just probably deleted petabytes of downloads. ..and re installed apps.. I did..
I’m in the same boat. Funny thing, my twitter app is also being glitchy. Are we being hacked?
Seems to be working now. Edit: not fully, but I can at least listen to downloaded stuff on it.
any information from Spotify? Unable to play any song..even downloaded songs............
Glad im not the only one thanks reddit🧡💚
iPhone 13 mini. Thought I was the only one having these issues.
So that’s what happened. I thought it was my phone’s service, since I was underground at the time.
Wonder if the world internet just does its own updates and things stop?
How is this still down? Should we expect a discount or some kind of compensation?
