Spotify won't play any new song I try to play.

[zeshan_k_47]

Every time I try to play a song that just got released or I've never played for, the song doesn't play (bar not moving, cover art, artist, and song name all missing in bottom left). Any song in my library or previously saved play perfectly, only new songs see this problem. Specific examples are "Dreamcatcher" by Travis Scott and Swae Lee, and "On the Run" by Young Thug and Offset. This problem has only occurred recently. It should also be noted that, when I right-click on one of the song's that won't play, the options of "Go to Artist" and "Go to Album" are greyed out.

Song is shown as playing, but isn't.

"127.0.0.1 spclient.wg.spotify.com" just add an # and that works directly !

Thank you very much. Worked for me with the issue that many players wouldnt show. I just deleted all the ''0.0.0.0'' starting sentences and its fine now

Hey @DLD493

Strange! Did you check the hosts file?

If it seems to be edited, you can lock the file up to prevent this. Remove the lines as guided in the previous post, then open File Explorer, go to

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

right-click on hosts and select Properties, add a tick to Read-only and then click OK.

Let me know what happens!
