My Question or Issue

I know Spotify is doing a lot of updates to the app and the last time I use Siri to pause music was running smoothly however I've been using Siri lately and found out that Siri can't pause Spotify.

Steps to reproduce

*Spotify is playing

Siri: 'Hey Siri pause music' 'Ok, paused'

Spotify alerts : 'Spotify can’t play this right now. If you have the file on your computer right now you can import it.'

*and Spotify continues the music

My research

tried using other application - music paused

tried to reinstall Spotify - won't fix

tried on another Mac- won't fix

tried with a not-downloaded music- won't fix

Hey there @royryando,

Thanks for reaching out about this in the Community!

Currently the Spotify app is not natively released to support M1 chips yet. This is most likely why you're experiencing issues with the app.

You can follow the discussion and updates regarding the M1 support here.

As a temporary solution, we can recommend using the Web player.

Hope this helps. Don't hesitate to reach out again if you have questions.
