My Question or Issue

 

I've been using Spotify Premium for a number of years, but over the past few months the performance on my iMac is VERY SLUGGISH. At times its so bad, I've had to use my Android phone to run Spotify on the desktop.

 

I've followed suggestions elsewhere re: deleting all the Spotify cache, but that did nothing to solve the issue.

 

The sluggish is most pronounced when Photoshop is running. Considering I have Photoshop open most of the day, the situation is very frustrating.

 

Ideas anyone?

Hi there!

I know it sounds simple, but it's often overlooked. Could you try restarting your device? If that doesn't help, try a quick clean reinstall of the app. Just follow these steps.

If you're still having trouble, could you let me know the exact version of Spotify and the exact version of the operating system you're running?

I'll see what I can suggest next!

Thanks.

Would hate to lose all of my playlists, so is there a way to save them first?

Hey @dadoonan,

 

Nothing worry!

Everything you have already saved and listened to is synced to your account.

 

Nothing will get lost! 🙂

 

Thanks!
