Not receiving songs in Inbox

Solved!

Not receiving songs in Inbox

Greetings,

 

Seems to be an account related issue as it is behaving the same way on my iPhone, iPad, and desktop. I can send songs to people and the song will go to their inbox (as well as create a message in their facebook inboxes) but when they try and send to me I receive a facebook message but nothing in the inbox.

 

I have uninstalled the desktop app. Created a password for my username and tried logging in on all the devices with that instead of the facebook credentials, and upgraded to the for-pay account. Nothing resolved the issue.

 

However the mobile apps now both say, "32 days remaining in your Trial." So apparently instead of activating a full account I bought 30 more days of the trial account? 

 

Anyway, any help would be appreciated. The inbox is kind of one of the most attractive features of the service for me.

I've also been having this issue since Feb 27th, on a Windows 7 machine.  It's persisted after reinstalling Spotify, although I receive FB messages that friends are sending me songs.  Really looking forward to a fix for this.

Marked as solution

I as well haven't been able to receive any inbox material for a week now. It would be nice to get a fix as other friends and I rely on it to spread new music. 

Spotify is working as hard as it can to resolve these bugs.

Mine is working again!! Thank you Spotify.

I'm having the same issue.  I just joined spotify so I've got all of the updated software on multiple computers and on my mobile device.  I can send links but can't recieve.  Please help.

 

Thanks!

Also having the same problem. Songs come to my facebook messages, but Spotify inbox has been broken since 21st Feb. Am a paying user so would love to get it back working again!! 

Some people are reporting this is working again, can you try logging out and back into Spotify and trying again? 

If it is still broken, post here and I (or another super user) can escalate this to the community team to show people are still having issues.

I am still having the same issues, after logging in/out and downloading again.  Please help!

I'm still having issues receiving the messages.  I've logged out and back in.

 

Thanks,

I'm having the same issue. 

 

Version: 0.9.0.133.gd18ed589

 

I created my account through Facebook

It worked about a week or 2 ago but i can't recieve any for the past week.

 

Thanks

I logged on and logged off and still not working =(

I just stopped receiving songs in my Spotify inbox. I get a Facebook message, but when I click on the Spotify links, they launch Spotify web player and there's no inbox. I've tried logging out and back in.

I am also not receiving songs in my inbox. Last track received was 6th June. I used to get them as a facebook message and spotify link which then opened the web player but even this has stopped working.

Not sure why I got them as a facebook message at all, as I have not linked my facebook account and spotify account!!??

I have tried sending myself a track from my boyfriend's account to check but it has just disappeared into the ether.

I am a premium member and have been for a very long time. I have downloaded the latest versions to desktop (Windows 7), laptop (Windows 7) and android phone (v. 4.0.4).

This is incrediby annoying. I listen to spotify all day whilst working and share a lot of music so the fact this hasn't worked for 6 weeks is frustrating!! Please sort if out Spotify.

Hi,

 

I'm having the same issue (or at least it looks a lot like it) with a friend on Spotify.

 

Here are the few symptoms so far :

1 - My friend is not showing up anymore in the feeds section (and he is not using the private listening mode).

2 - I can receive songs from him but he not the opposite.

 

Hope someone could help us on that, I really share loads of songs with him and it's been broken for weeks now.

 

🙂

I need help with this issue too. I am on an iPhone 6 Plus with the latest app update. I have followed all steps listed to help and nothing still.

Was there ever an official solution to this problem?... I have tried logging out of Spotify on my desktop, and logged back in with the stupid Facebook Email thing, and I still NEVER receive songs to my inbox that friends try to share with me.

They told me that they are doing away with that feature 😞 

So I tried this solution and I was never prompted with a window asking is this was associated with another account. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
