Superuser Contribution The app won't let me play my music. What do I do?

It works on the web browser and my phone, but not the app on my laptop. It's a shame because I always use it on my laptop, but it hasn't worked for a week. I tried uninstalling it, logging out and in, restarted my computer, but none of it has worked.
