Device

Macbook Pro late 2022

Operating System

Ventura 13.2

 

Spotify takes about 30 secs to 1 min to open or close. Once it has, it then stalls sporadically with whatever I try to do, for about the same length of time - ie. it won't load the content of a playlist, it won't start to play a track, or if a track is playing, it won't stop stop or pause, it won't allow me to search for a track or artist, until about 30 secs-1 min passes and then it performs the attempted action. I've tried reinstalling it, amongst other suggestions from forums, but the same issue reoccurs every time.

Hi there @sdbenny,

 

Thanks for the post.


This sounds very odd, especially since you're using a newer model Macbook. The issue may be coming from a very large Spotify library with over 10,000+ items. This includes Liked Songs, playlists etc. 

 

Another possible cause is a slow internet connection or the use of VPN, which could be blocking traffic. 

 

In order to test this out I'd recommend you try the following:

  • Log in with another Spotify account. You can create a free account for test purposes. This way you can check if the issue is account related.
  • Connect to another network, like a mobile hotspot, without the use of VPN. This way you can check if it's a network issue.

Keep us posted on how you get on.
