Hey there! Do you have a premium subscription? If not, the reason is probably that Spotify just rolled out an update that limited high quality streaming to Premium subscribers. Check your playback quality level and see if lowering it fixes the problem.

Hi!

I had the same problem; only not on windows but on Mac OS X.

Disabling the high quality streaming option solved the issue.

I spent a few days being very annoyed with the software, as it didn't supply me a useful explanation for not being able to play.

But fortunately, this community came up with the solution.

Thanks!

Hiya,

Joining a pretty old thread but I've just gone back to the free version and it keeps saying it cant play the current track. Weirder still is that if I try twice it usually plays but only one song before saying it can't play again.

PLease help!

Dopo l'ultimo aggiornamento non posso più ascoltare nessun brano.

Mi compare una barra blu con scritto impossibile riprodurre il brano corrente!

Questo capita su OGNI BRANO presente in spotify.

Untick the "Enable High Quality Streaming" option in Edit > Preferences @Comisworld .

ciao, ho l'abbonamento premium da un paio di mesi, e da quando l'ho sottoscritto più di metà della musica che in genere ascoltavo regolarmente, mi da il classico errore "impossibile riprodurre".

Ho provato a defleggare sia lo streaming HD sia l' accelerazione hardware, ma niente.

Una soluzione ? grazie

SPOTIFY ERR

Ho visto che altri utenti hanno avuto lo stesso problema, ma non ho capito se è stata trovata una soluzione.

il messaggio riporta "impossibile riprodurre il brano"

Le impostazioni di base sono le stesse di sempre

soluzioni?
