Spotify does not work Mac

[hejpaul]

My Spotify app stopped working on my Mac.
The App does not show any content. I was able to perform a clean install which worked only one. After coming back to my Mac, the same issue occurred: Spotify does not show any content. After reinstalling the App again Spotify shows "client_token:101" as error message

I performed a clean install including restarting my mac which does not work, it shows just the error message above. (I followed the instructions)
I also checked Mac hosts file - no entries for Spotify

The iOS App works fine in the same network, also the Spotify webplayer in Safari. I can also stream Spotify on a Sonos speaker in the same network.

MacOS 14.2.1 (23C71)

Was just having the same problem. Tried reinstalling it but it didn't work. Solved it by simply logging out and then logging in again.

It worked! Thank you @Kaio7 🙏

I had the same problem and resolved as suggested by simply logging out and logging in. Thanks! Screen looked like attached running Tahoe 26.1 and Spotify for macOS (Apple Silicon) 1.2.79.427.g80eb4a07...

I experienced this same issue on my MacBook Air - Spotify alternating between not loading & taking very long time to load (with no songs playable). I updated uninstalled/reinstalled Spotify (didn't work), then updated my Mac software to the latest version of Tahoe (didn't work), uninstalled/reinstalled Spotify again (didn't work), then waited a while for Spotify to load enough that I had the option to log off / log back in. It worked again the moment I logged back in.

I too am having the same problem as of a week ago! I have MacBook Pro v12.5.  Worked perfectly until now.  finding customer support extremely difficult to navigate.  Surprising its not better given how much the company makes.

I'm having no problems using the web player, but the mac app is experiencing the same problems that have been mentioned above. I changed the proxy setting, don't use vpn, and didn't see where the hardware acceleration setting is, but I didn't want to do the settings changes OscarDC mentioned on Jan 11 2026 because my web player does work. Just not the mac app. I'm using a M4 Mac Mini

Mine won't even show up on my iMac. It may just be because it is late 2013.
