My Question or Issue

I've problem with Spotify Desktop App. It constantly stuttering songs - situation looks like it could have problem with buffering current song - and from time to time throws notification "Can't play this right now".

This only happens on desktop app. On webplayer there is no problem.

I've tried to:

- Clean cache and song history

- Reinstall / full clean install - like this 

- Checking / cleaning hosts file - like this

- Checking network connection and network related issues

- Turning off hardware accelartion

- Changing stream quality
Resetting sound device settings and checking sound device drivers

- Changing the sampling frequency - like this

- Checking Windows Defender & Firewall settings

 

Nothing helps.

Hello? Spotify? 
Is there anybody responsible for solving platform problems?

Hey @Verbatino,

 

Are you still having issues? I'm seeing many other posts related to the same or a similar issue, yet there was no Ongoing Issue report posted yesterday.

Well... Today it happened twice and I didn't try more.
Spotify became piece of **bleep** in my eyes 🙁
