Hi @user-removed, thanks for writing!

This is an issue that's under investigation by the Spotify staff.

In the meantime, please try the following:

• Log out > Restart desktop > Log back in
• Reinstall app from the website/from Windows Store (depending on device).

After that, remove all lines from their hosts file that are blocking Spotify.

1. If you're on Windows:
   1. Open Notepad as an administrator (right-click - Open as Administrator)
   2. Go to File - Open and navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
   3. Choose "All Files" instead of "Text Documents" next to the File Name box. You'll see a handful of files. Pick hosts and click on Open
   4. When the file is open, you will see a block of text with # in front of each line and might see entries like 0.0.0.0 website.com127.0.0.1 website2.com
   5. Check for any entries with Spotify in the address. Examples may look like: 0.0.0.0 weblb-wg.gslb.spotify.com0.0.0.0
   6. If you do find any lines with Spotify, please remove them.
   7. Save your changes and restart Spotify.
2. If you're on a Mac:
   1. Open Finder and, in Finder’s menu bar, select Go > Go to Folder. In the box, type the following location: /private/etc/hosts and press return.
   2. A new Finder window will open and your Mac’s hosts file will be selected. Click and drag it out of the Finder window and drop it on your desktop. 
   3. To open it, simply double-click and it will display the file’s contents in TextEdit.
   4. Check for any entries with Spotify in the address.
   5. If you do find any lines with Spotify, remove them.
   6. Save your changes and restart Spotify.

Let me know if this works!
