so since about a week now, specific songs wont play in my desktop app on my mac. songs play on my ipod and ipad but on my mac, when i click on a song nothing happens. this used to happen to random songs, not all.
however from yesterday, no song plays, and as for playlists, they are all empty. saved playlists and my playlists both ssy that there are no songs in the playlist. the only thing i csn play are the songs already on my mac and not the ones i dont have and are on spotify.
i have tried every solution i can find on the internet including a clean reinstall, logging in and out etc and nothing works.

THIS IS FOR MAC:
BRO I HAVE THIS TOO. I don't know how to fix. Please please tell me if you find somehting that works.
It happened to me, i think, because i deleted some spotify-related files by mistake on my mac. idk what they were. I've tried a clean reinstall, clearing the cache, but that doesnt work either 😞
I have got the same problem since yesterday.
this worked for me, download that version :

the file doesnt open on a mac tho
so idk, i don't use mac
I am having the same problem, all my playlist appear empty. Including playlist currated by spotify. Any time I search a song, and then click to play it - a blank disc will appear and no sound emerges. At first this only applied to some songs so I deleted and then re-installed the app. Everything worked for 24 hours, then the same problem occured and now I cannot listen to any music at all. I have a premium account, and I am only experiencing this problem on my laptop (mac),the app still works on my phone (which I do not use to listen to music on most of the time).
this is exactly the same thing that's happening to me...
i wonder if there's anyway we can bring bring the spotify team's attention to this.
if ever you find a fix to it, pls do share it.
THIS IS FOR MAC:
oh my good lord that actually worked!
thank you so much ❤️
You're a life saver.
I'm having the same problem.
Thank you!!
This solved the problem I was having with my Spotify Premium account on the Desktop OSX application since one month ago.
For WINDOWS 7:
The cause:
spotify links are blocked in the host file
(you were probably blocking spotify ads by linking spotify related links to the adress "0.0.0.0" or a malicious program did it)
Solution:
1) Go to : "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc"
2) Open the file "hosts".
Make sure to open "hosts" and not "hosts.txt", because the latter one is in fact not being used by the system and is just an example of a host file. (you might want to turn on the file extensions and also make the browser show hidden files; you can search for it on the web)
2) Remove all lines containing the word "spotify" in them.
3) Save the file. (you will need admin rights)
4) Spotify will sync with your other online devices and will be able to play music right away. Even without a restart.
Hope this helps!
