My Question or Issue
Spotify stuck on 100% CPU usage, done all updates, clearing of cache, reinstalling everything, hardware accel off, nothing fixes the issue.
Hey @theman601, welcome to the Community.
Hope you're doing great!
Could you try a quick clean reinstall of the app while inside Safe Mode. Just follow these steps. To enter safe mode make sure Firmware Password is off then just hold Shift while booting up to get there.
If you're still having trouble, could you let me know the exact version of Spotify?
I'll see what I can suggest next!
I am using Spotify 1.1.20.510.g7d28aaaa with Mojave 10.14.6 and have 100% CPU usage problem as well. Please look into the problem.
I have tried clean install as you mentioned.
Thanks.

If none of those work, could you let us know the exact Spotify version you're running?

I have a 2019 MacBook Air - not having this issue at all I'm also running it on a different OS to the OP. Don't know if this is helpful.
