Over 8,000 reports
In just the last 30 minutes, reports of problems at Spotify have jumped up from 2,000 affected users to well over 8,000 — suggesting this is a more serious problem than just a blip.
I’m based in London, U.K. and haven’t been able to replicate the problem myself. Spotify has successfully loaded and I can play music in both the Windows desktop app and the Android mobile app.
But if you’re suffering in silence right now, reach out and let me know about it in the comments.
Users are frustrated!
The comments are beginning to pile in on DownDetector with users venting their frustration.
According to user Becky Stamets, Spotify’s web app isn’t loading at all while the phone app is only partially available.
Others are simply receiving the “Something went wrong” error message.
“It’s always these billion dollar companies having these problems,” wrote user kylekyle.
Spotify Status says nothing is wrong — that’s not what we’re experiencing
Spotify’s own status page is currently showing all systems operational but, anecdotally, that’s now what we’re experiencing with the music streaming platform right now.
Numerous members of the Tom’s Guide team are telling me that they can’t access music playback. Others say that while they can play music through their phone’s main speaker, Spotify won’t connect to Wi-Fi speakers like Sonos.

Where did this come from!?
As you can see from the DownDetector chart above, this outage has spiked dramatically in just the last 45 minutes.
Users are commenting that while downloaded music is playing as normal, there’s no response from the streaming service itself which could indicate a server problem.
