Spotify Player won't work on any browser

[amymcools]

Hello all,

Spotify Player stopped working for me on all browsers: Chrome, Edge, Internet Explorer, etc. I tried cleaning out the cache / cookies and restarting my computer, but none of these seem to work. I generally use only my laptop, though I think my friend back in the US sometimes plays it on our formerly shared computer. 

When I type in the web address for the player, it keeps automatically directing it to https://open.spotify.com/collection/playlists

Might this be part of the problem?

I appreciate any help you can offer!

Hi, I may have had the same problem as you (for me Chrome/FireFox/Opera not working, but Edge was working). I was able to fix the problem by following @thepest solution here: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux-Windows-Web-Player/Web-Player-not-working-in-Chrome-b...

It's as if the browser/web player is, for lack of a better term, "stuck". With the web player open, I played music with the Spotify app on my phone, clicked Devices Available on the bottom of the app, and then switched it to Spotify Web Player. The browser/web player started playing like normal again, as if it got "unstuck". If it's indeed the same problem, worst case you might need to fiddle with different devices playing back to the web player (and vice versa, also might need to close and reopen web player) to get it working again.
