"can't connect to spotify. trying again now" message on Internet Explorer since yesterday

[mamborumba]

Hi.

Can someone help me please, because i'm receiving this message while i'm using the Spotify webplayer since yesterday on Internet Explorer...Do others have the same trouble to connect with https://play.spotify.com/ when they want to listen to their music ? What can be done to solve this ?

Hi!

I have the same message. 😞
Looking at the console it seems that they have killed this player now. Troubles dowloading content.

Sad...

I guess it's now either open.spotify.com or alternatives. Desktop client wants too much from my memory.

Thanks for the answer. My advice : use Spotify on Google Chrome... It works !

Oi!

Enjoy! For me it doesn't work. It might work tomorrow, though, but since it's an old player...

I am now off to hunt for a functional scrobbler add-on. 😉

I have exactly the same problem..I use play.spotify and since yesterday afternoon it's messed up.Usually it starts playing a song and after a while it just crashes and this message appears.I tried both Chrome and Firefox,no luck.What is going on?

Hi @kstat!

Thinking that play.spotify.com is now unsupported by the servers.
It won't play anything anymore and occasionally loses connection.
Maybe it will work again tomorrow, maybe not. Worth checking.

(found a working scrobbler. from now on I use Spotify on Chrome....)
