No, it’s not just you: Spotify doesn’t work. The music service streaming It is down in Europe and it is not possible to use its desktop applications for Windows and Mac, at least not in connected mode. Opening the app and searching for songs is impossible and listening to music is only possible using non-offline mode with downloaded music.
As reflected Failure detector, the website that shows which services are having problems, a good part of the country is affected by this Spotify outage. For the moment, the cause is unknown and everything indicates that it was a specific fall.
The outage started causing problems around 4:28 p.m. Spanish Peninsula time. Users are reporting that the website and connection to Spotify’s own server are inaccessible. In our tests, we were unable to search f or music or be able to listen to songs that have not been downloaded.
Spotify is down
Although it is true that at present the application can still be used to listen to music, aspects such as searching for songs or lists are affected. The problem continued to persist throughout the afternoon, reaching a new peak of reports at 5:13 p.m. Spanish Peninsula Time.
Interestingly, cross-platform sync still works. For example, we were able to download music to a smartphone so that it appears later in the desktop version. Since this is not a particularly serious fall, it is very likely that throughout the afternoon Spotify corrects this slight drop.
For now, we highly recommend using apps to smartphone to listen to music or download it. Little by little, the reports are decreasing, because the number of affected users does not seem particularly large.
