Trying to listen from a tumblr page

David2go — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 13:37:39 GMT

I recently downloaded spotify because I have a tumbr page and someone else kept posting music with a sotify account. Now every time I try to play the music on tumblr, it won't upload spotify even though I have an account. What can I do? Thanks

Do you mean that you are clicking on the play button on the Tmblr page but it won't play?

What are you browsing on? Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android?

Yes that's exactly it, I'm pushing the Play, but it won't play. I have Windows Vista using Internet Explorer.

In the Spotify options page (Edit->Preferences) make sure that the 'Allow Spotify to be started from the web' checkbox is ticked - it's near the bottom so you'll need to scroll down to see it.

Okay my Edit Preferences page does not have that box unless I am looking in the wrong place. Ah, sorry, I really want to fix this and it's driving me crazy.

Grrr - I hate how the Spotify software seem to have different layouts and configurations in every version and depending on your subscription level.

Just to check though - are you running it under Windows? Make sure you are scrolling right down to the bottom - you should see this:

If not maybe you are still on an old version of the software. Download the latest from here http://www.spotify.com/download/ and install over you existing one to see if that helps.

Once the 'start from web' functionality is working you should see a process called SpotifyWebHelper.exe in the Task Manager.

Okay it's my Windows Vista then. When i try to download the player, it won't complete the download. I click Run, it downloads, and then nothing. I can't find it on my computer, poof, it's gone. **bleep**

Try right-click then 'Run as Administrator'

I'm sorry, I guess I'm just not meant to have this thing. I clicked Run as Administrator and it flashes but won't complete the Spotify Installer. I don't know what else i can do.
