Hello,

I had the same problem over weeks.

Now, it is working. My issue was that I had 2 times the same playlist.

Spotify crashed always on startup when loading the playlists.

 

What you have to do:

Open the web player: https://play.spotify.com

Take a look on your playlists and delete duplicates (push on "unfollow")

 

I hope that helps 😉

Otherwise contact the support: https://www.spotify.com/lu-de/about-us/contact/contact-spotify-support

 

 

BTW:

- the web player works fine and the Android app too

- I had the issue on 3 different PCs (Win XP and Win 7); reinstall doesn't helped

- the problematic playlist was "Top 100 tracks currently on Spotify" by Spotify:

Hello Pati

 

Thanks for the tip ...

 

Unfortunately it is not the clue in my case ...

 

I'm experiencing issues with the opening of my spotify desktop with iMac and OX OS.

 

My spotify desktop is up and very well running on my Windows PC with the same library.

 

Anyway thanks for sharing your experience with us <;)

 

Cheers

Hello Richard,

 

Just to know if you have received so far enough data elements from us in order to be able to investigate the issue deeper ?

 

If not, what else could we provide you with ?

 

Thanks for your feedback

and have a good weekend !

Cheers

On Windows 8 and Windows 7 Spotify opens and plays music for a few minutes and then just exits. No errors, no crash messages in the event logs, it's just gone. I tried uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, same thing it closed a couple minutes in to the first song.  This has been going on for months, on my desktop and laptop, I just thought I would give it another try. It's hard to believe this company has any subscribers or ever turns a profit.

Ok, now I have the same problem, since two or three weeks.

Spotify crashes about one minute into the first song I play, sometimes two minutes. No error message, just shuts down.

When I reopen Spotify I can click play and continue the same song, but it starts 15-30 sec before the point where I was when the crash happened. Then I can play the album through, but when I change and begin playing another album Spotify again crashes a minute or two into the first song.

 

I have reinstalled the program, and tried different settings for hardware acceleration and compatibility mode. Crashes remain.

Just pinned down my problem to albums played from the Pitchfork app:

 

http://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Desktop-Linux-Mac-and/Pitchfork-App-stops-working-after-a-few-m...

 

Still, the problem can be with Spotify, I guess, and maybe related to other kinds of crashes.

My Spotify is working now!

 

No idea why, but I'm not complaining.

 

Thanks to whoever's responsable.

Hey George,

 

Good for you !!! Great ... things are evolving ...

 

Did you do anything at all ? 

 

Or did you re install Spotify before ?

 

Thanks for keeping me posted.

 

Cheers

Just to add to the chorus of people who is having problems. Using Spotify today and it seems to crash a lot - it's virtually unusable. Viewing an artist page, scrolling the Discover page, playing some songs - it just crashes without explanation.

 

The console shows it is exiting with a status code of 1 but there are no crash or diagnostic messages.

OS - Windows 7 

Spotify Version - 0.9.1.57.ge7405149

As of this morning my Spotify crashes 20 seconds after startup.

 

It has been on since last week so can only assume something Spotify have changed. Have tried un-installing and re-installing and no help.
