About Spotify outages
Spotify is the world’s largest music streaming service. Outages typically manifest as search failing, playlists refusing to load, or playback stopping between tracks — often while previously cached music keeps playing offline.
What to do when Spotify is down
- Try the Spotify web player at open.spotify.com instead of the desktop or mobile app, since the browser client runs on separate infrastructure.
- Check community.spotify.com's status thread, where Spotify and other users report and confirm ongoing incidents faster than an official status page.
- Re-pair Spotify Connect with your speaker or TV, since a broken device handoff can look like playback is down when only the connection is stale.
- Check whether the problem is limited to one playlist or the whole account, since a single corrupted playlist can fail to load without affecting playback elsewhere.
Spotify alternatives to use in the meantime
Apple Music or YouTube Music both cover general listening if Spotify is unreachable, though neither carries your Spotify playlists or listening history automatically — some third-party transfer tools can migrate playlists in advance for exactly this situation. For podcasts specifically, most shows are also available directly through Apple Podcasts, so you won't lose access to those.
Spotify FAQ
Why does Spotify say "No internet connection" when I’m online?
That message appears when the app cannot reach Spotify’s API even if the rest of your internet works, which happens during Spotify backend incidents. If our check shows Spotify reachable, log out and back in — a stale auth token causes the same symptom.
Spotify plays downloaded music but nothing else — is it down?
Yes, that pattern is a classic Spotify outage signature: offline downloads keep working from local storage while streaming, search, and browse all need the backend. When those fail together for many users, the incident is on Spotify’s side.
Is Spotify down for everyone or just me?
We test Spotify (https://spotify.com) live from our own servers. If our check succeeds but you still can't connect, the outage is probably local to you — try another network or device, clear your cache, or check Spotify's official status channels.
