The musik from all playlists (also from RapCarviar, etc.) is gone.

All playlists are empty. Not only my but also big playlists from Spotify like RapCaviar. It tells me to look for some recently released songs (albums have songs, but I can´t play them for some reason).

I tried reinstaling the app mulitiple times (Online and Microsoft Store), clearing the registry und all Spotify related folders but it didn´t work. I had this problem for about 2 months but only on the PC-App. The Web-Player is at least showing the songs in the playlists but like I said, I can´t play the songs for some reason. On my Phone its working fine.

Hello there @Toxxido !

This a known bug with the desktop app and Spotify is investigating the issue. There is a workaround which seems to be working for some users. Can you try the following steps:

1. Open Notepad as an administrator (right-click - Open as Administrator)
2. go to File - Open and navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
3. Choose "All Files" instead of "Text Documents" next to the File Name box. You'll see a handful of files. Pick hosts and click on Open
4. When the file is open, you will see a block of text with # in front of each line and might see entries like 0.0.0.0 website.com127.0.0.1 website2.com
5. Check for any entries with Spotify in the address. Examples may look like: 0.0.0.0 weblb-wg.gslb.spotify.com0.0.0.0
6. If you do find any lines with Spotify, please remove them.
7. Save your changes and restart Spotify.

Hope that solves the issue! Let me know if you have further questions. There is also an open issue about this here where you can track it and vote for it so it catches more attention. I hope this will get fixed on Spotify's end soon.

Have a nice day 🙂
