I listen to Spotify on my work computer. In the last few weeks the fan always spins up when I try to play it, and I’m constantly having to reload the window for it to play anything. Playback will stop in the middle of a song sometimes.
open.spotify.com in Firefox on Windows 10. I disabled ublock. Same issue on work network and home.
You guys pay for Music? 🏴☠️
No, but I do pay for convenience and for an ad-free listening experience.
Isn’t that one of the main justifications people give for piracy? That if it were affordable and convenient, people would just pay?
My problem is that i mainly listen to Video Game OSTs, most of them not being available on Spotify. 🤷♂️
And yes, you are paying for music, just not for specific artists/albums.
Have you tried installing the desktop app or is it not allowed on your work computer? The website is shit and the app is a bit less shit.
I didn’t try the desktop app yet. Probably a losing battle on Windows but I prefer to use web apps where possible since it gives the service less access to my system.
No issue on a dell laptop with win 11.
I’m still waiting for them to re-add a scrollbar for the mobile app podcast pages. Reported its disappearance multiple times the last two years, and just get empty answers from Spotify. Relistening to old podcasts is a pain, when having to scroll through hundreds of episodes without a quick scrollbar.
Never use the website app if you can download their standalone app. It’s like night and day.
What extensions are you using?
Have you tried in a private window with extensions disabled?
Have you tried a different browser?
Yes. Spotify seems to stop playing a podcast when on the website. Although it looks like it’s still playing but the audio stops.
I can’t install anything on my work laptop so I had to use the website. It’s not great. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were leaving it shitty on purpose so more people will download the app

I do use it often when driving. But I make frequent video calls through my computer, and want all audio running through the same speakers.
