My Spotify (Windows 11) stops working after one Song

Mon, 23 Dec 2024 11:53:32 GMT

I've performed several clean reinstalls and even tried downloading from different sources, but after restarting Spotify once after the download, it stops playing songs as soon as the first song ends.

After playing a full song music stops and any more music can't be played

After a song is finished whole app stops and no music can be played, there is no other way than to close app and start over but after one song the same thing happens. Reinstall doesn't help

Hi there, folks,

Welcome to the Spotify Community and thanks for reaching out!

There's currently an issue with the desktop app where songs added to the queue will break the playback. If that's what you meant, I'd recommend checking out this thread where we'll keep everyone posted as soon as we have any updates on the matter. As a workaround, you can use the Clear queue button to remove the added tracks - this should do the trick.

It's also worth mentioning that the current expected behavior of playing a song from the search results is to play just that one song only. If you want to play all search results, a workaround would be to select all items with Ctrl + A and add them to a playlist. Alternatively, you can also toggle on the Autoplay feature, which would generate a new queue of similar songs when the one you played ends.

In case you meant something else, feel free to elaborate further so we can help out further.

Cheers 🤘

A good alternative I use rn is the web-player. Works just like the desktop app without the issue.

Hi Yordan,
Absolutely I know that remove the added tracks will keep the music playing, but as you said it is just a workaround. We still cannot queue up the songs we want to listen, and we have to switch between different playlists. How ridiculous it is, 2025 is coming and I still have to switch the recordings manually like my old grandfather did.

I look forward to a real solution.

Anyway happy holidays!

I am on Windows 11-23H2, 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13500H 2.60 GHz. This is recent problem on both the mobile app and the Windows Spotify app 64 bit, V1.2.53.438.g246d60c9. All songs stop after one song, except if there is an ad following, then the ad plays and stops. Resolved on Android device by reinstalling and creating a new account.

I deleted and reinstalled but the problem was not fixed.

This is baffling. The app is failing at the most fundamental level: playing music.

If I have to manually start the play of each song in a list, I might as well go to Winamp or old cassete tapes, at least those get the basics rights.

Hey @spanac,

Sorry to see you've been facing issues with your playback! Let's try to tackle them 🙂

Let us know what troubleshooting steps you've tried already.
What I'd suggest in this situation is to start by clearing your cached data and logging out of the app and back in twice in a row to trigger a manual sync of all your settings and data.

In case this doesn't do the trick, you can try performing a complete clean reinstall of the app instead. This will ensure there are no leftover Spotify files from your previous installations.

Should the issue remain, it's a good idea to see if installing the app version from the Microsoft app store would make a difference. Here I am assuming that you currently have the version from our website. In case you already have the MS version, try the one from our website instead.

If nothing helps and the playback continues to stop after each song, let us know what the exact behaviour you're experiencing is. How do you start the playback and does the next song queue up, pausing the playback after the switch?
The more details we have - the better! It'd be helpful if you can include a video recording to your reply or a link to one, uploaded on e.g. Google Drive or YouTube (as an unlisted video).

Much appreciated! Keep us posted on how things go.

This is happening to me when I use the "Go to Song Radio" feature
