My Question or Issue

Hi, I'm Nicholas, and I'm a student, and I use music to help me do my homework and regular work during school. Recently, I've gotten back into using Spotify as my primary music program. The Family Plan allows my whole family access to whatever music they prefer. 

As a factor of that, I have Chromebook to do work. The WiFi at my school has Spotify unblocked. I went to listen to some of my music this morning and found myself staring blankly at an error I've never seen before. (attached to the message) It mentioned refreshing the page, but that did nothing. It also said my browser was out-of-date, but I use a Chromebook, and the software on the laptop controls my browser. I checked afterward, and the software on the Chromebook is updated, so, I came here seeking help. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I've determined it's something with Spotify and not my Chromebook. It could be something with Google's update policy being harshly delayed, rendering my laptop useless. Either way, I came here for help. 
Oh, and when I tried playing my music, it played for about 2 and a half seconds before telling me the error message attached. I tried this on the Web Store version as well and got the same problem. I know I'm not alone here. Hopefully, my story helps.

Search CrOS Update Serving if your chromebooks still receives Updates.

Which version you have installed?

 

The webstore version should use chrome internally, too.
