If Daily Mix,Friends Feed,Radio DON'T WORK try this solution

[_LastHope_]

Hello, after some investigation i'll found a solution that work for me.

I don't know wich software do this (some antispyware or similar), but my HOST file was modified with this voice

0.0.0.0    spclient.wg.spotify.com

Remove the line, save the HOST file, restart spotify client and/or your desktop.

If you have trouble with managing HOST file, please read this guide.

There was nothing like this in my host file.

Daily Mixes will update but will not play on desktop (mac & windows) or on phone (apple & android) with my premium account. 
This has been happening for some time--any help is much appreciated !

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.

 # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
 #
 # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
 # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
 # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
 # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
 # space.
 #
 # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
 # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

 #       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host
 # localhost name resolution is handle within DNS itself.

I don't know how you figured this out, but you're my new personal hero! 

For all of you that say it didn't fix it: Make sure you edit the 'hosts' file, not the 'hosts.bck' one. I neither realized there are two hosts files, but it solved my problem. 

Cheers

Hi,

when i first saw this (a few months ago) it worked but now my Spotify has gone back to "The friend feed failed to load" but the Radio & Daily Mix works. I tried the solution again and the "0.0.0.0    spclient.wg.spotify.com" wasn't there.

Any other way?

I've seen the abba.json posts but I can't find it (I'm on a Mac)

[kevinstreet1]

This totally worked! For the first time in three months I have the Daily Mix back.

Thank you!

Hello,

I can't find my HOST file 😞 I searched everywhere but maybe not well. 

Disappointed..

[FateGasm]

my HOST file doesn't even have that extra line, and my friend feed is still not loaded ://

Have the same issue. 

I can't also download Spotify update. It takes forever with no effect:
