[Mac] spotify doesn't play music from my iTunes library

Solved!

[Mac] spotify doesn't play music from my iTunes library

Hello
I have a strange problem.
Spotify works fine, I play some "radio stations" and it works, but when the song is also in my iTunes library, Spotify refuse to play the song.
This happens only on songs I have on my iTunes library (however not all are currently available....)
Any help ?
Tnx
Roberto

I have disabled all libraries in Spotify and now the songs are playing correctly.
I think Spotify should know if songs in iTunes library are not available

Do you have Quicktime installed (not sure if it comes as standard on Macs)?

Yes I have Quicktime installed

Hi and welcome!

Do you still have the problem if you're not running iTunes in the background?

Yes it happens also without iTunes running.
Seems like Spotify try to play music from my iTunes library instead of streaming.
Can I disable this ?
