Google Home Mini Not Playing By Song

SolarSuperman — Sun, 21 Nov 2021 19:49:11 GMT

My Google Home Mini recently stopped playing individual tracks by audio command. It will play by album or artist, but when I tell it to play a specific song—e.g. “Play Yesterday by The Beatles—it comes up with the “Something went wrong” error message.

I’ve tried restarting the device and unlinking/relinking my (premium) Spotify account. It used to play songs by audio command without issue. This started about two days ago.

Hi @SolarSuperman,

Welcome to the Community and thank you for posting!

If you're having issues with the voice commands, there are a few things we can try here:

Remove Spotify and Google Home apps, then reinstall them.
Restart your router and Google Home.
Unlink your Home Mini from your Google account and set them up again.

Let us know how this goes.

Hello , for the past four days when I request a song through google home it repeats the request and says sure playing on spotify then says sorry something went wrong , when you are ready give it another try, I am a premium subscriber and have deleted both apps with no luck , it will play my playlists but not specific song requests , I tried another music service and it works fine , just wondering if there is anything I am missing.

Hi folks,

@MC3D5551 We've merged your thread with this one to keep all reports unified.

Please check the troubleshooting steps that I shared on my previous post and let us know if the issue persists after performing them.

It's also worth making sure that your Google Home doesn't have any pending firmware updates.

We'll be on the lookout.
