What you need to know
- Yes, Spotify is having issues right now.
- The platform says it is aware of issues with streaming.
- Users are having issues streaming songs online, but synced songs on devices seem to be unaffected.
Reports suggest Spotify may be experiencing an outage stopping users from streaming songs on the platform.
Spotify is currently experiencing an outage affecting song playback. The problems first started around 8 AM ET and are currently preventing a large number of Spotify users from playing songs properly. Songs will play only for a few seconds before they pause and the Spotify client displays the error "can't play the current song."
Downdetector is showing a large number of reported issues in the last hour, globally, with a very high concentration in Europe and reports in the U.S. too. This could simply be due to the timing of the issue, rather than geography.
Spotify says it is aware of issues and checking them out, but provided no further details.
