Play button greyed

Solved!

Play button greyed

Hi,

 

From a few days the play button is greyed out in web player, so I cannot play any song. I have tried to clear web browser cache, logout and log in again, but that didn't solve the problem. I haven't used spotify on any other device and I'm not logged in to my account on any other computer. I really have no idea what might be the reason play button is disabled. Did anyone have similar problem? Any ideas?

 

Thank you

Hey @m_milosz

 

I suggest you try this:

Click on an album's play button continuously (like a madman), then refresh the page (F5) whilst continuing clicking until the page fully reloads. You may have to do it twice.

I am not exactly sure why this works, but it has been helpful :')

 

Let me know how it goes!

I also checked DRM content settings and web browser version (firefox 57). Everyting seems to be ok.

Did anyone have similar problem?

Hi @Sebasty,

For Joe Rogan Podcast make sure "Explicit content" is enabled

Settings -> Explicit content -> Enabled

This caused the play button to be greyed out on the web player as well as the desktop app.

I never tried that before but it worked great thank you very much I've had to happen before but I forget how I fixed it it was a pain that was easy thank you!
