The desktop app is complete garbage.

I'm only posting this as a heads up to other users. 

Thanks for the free service, but I'm done now. Bye Spotify.

That doesn't look right. It seems some software on your computer is interfering with Spotify.

Try a clean reinstall of Spotify to see if this fixes the problem:

Easy method:
Download this free app cleaner. It's super easy.

When you open up the app, search for Spotify and it will automatically find and delete all files on your computer related to Spotify.

I use it all the time and it's a really great tool. If you ever decide to uninstall an app, the best way is to use this tool.

After that, download and reinstall Spotify.

It's 2023 and the Mac app is still hot garbage, every year when the new OS comes out, I get more and more tempted to use Apple Music because I cannot stand the constant crashes, freezing, and inability to close quit the application without opening task manager.
