My Question or Issue

Starting about a week ago My release radar would show that it is empty.  If I go to play.spotify in my browser the songs are there but I cannot play them.  If I try to navigate to any new release in my spotify it will not play.  All old songs play fine but anything that has been released this year will not play.  I have tried re-installing, re-logging out and in, unfollowing the RR list.  Nothing seems to work. What the heck is going on?

Thanks

While the recommended thread is not the exact issue I am experiencing editing the hosts file did fix my problem. 

solution is listed below.

* WIN + R

* C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

* Right click on hosts and click on Edit with Notepad++ (I recommend installing this when editing system files since you can undo a change after save in case something goes bad)

* Delete all IP lines with the string "spotify"

* Save the file

* Restart Spotify

The above resolved my issue. The reinstallation and logging back in is probably required in addition.

Thanks for everyones help.
