Music Won't Play On Chrome

Music Won't Play On Chrome

I have Spotify on my google chrome browser. Every time I open the page up, I get the same song to come up on the "now playing" bar. It won't play, and it won't change the song. I have tried logging out and logging back in, deleting cookies, reloading the page. Nothing will load, but if I open Spotify with a different browser, it will play music. Is there anything I can do to fix my chrome browser to play Spotify again?

Hey man I get the same deal at work. I restarted chrome, restarted Windows, deleted all caches/cookies/etc., cleared credentials, and logged in/out of Spotify. Nothing changed and it's still stuck on the current song where it won't let me play or click next/previous. It's working fine on my phone.

 

EDIT: 5m after posting this and it's working for me. I didn't change anything and it was after all of the above. I just happened to click on the tab and it started playing the next song after it was stuck once I clicked play. Odd.

Yeah, I don't know what the fix was. It was frozen and then for no reason
it started playing all of a sudden. Oh well, at least it's working again

Update: I have at least identified my issue. There is an issue with the Web Player not knowing whether it is the 'currently playing' device or not. I encountered the issue and was playing with the "play on device X" feature back and forth between my phone and Web Player. After a few failures of either the Android App or the Web Player bugging out, it eventually started playing as intended. I'm not sure if this applies to your issue, but it at least provided some background on what I was experiencing.

Perfect! Thanks mate, all I had to do was log in to spotify on my phone and it detected it, then I closed the app and it worked in chrome, without even having to close the tab.

Exact same worked for me too. Logged in on phone, selected to play through different device, exited app on phone and then it worked as before. 

I had the same issue and resolved it by clicking on the computer/phone icon next to the volume adjustment.  I chose to "Listening on this web browser" and it fixed it right away.
