Playback of music speed slowed down

[Paulg15]

I have a problem with the play backusiof streaming music in spotify.A couple 9f weeks ago I noticed that the speed of the music noticeably slowed down as though it

 Is a record playing and the speed has slowed down. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app but symptoms still persist. I have used my player on my android phone and played my own music and this seems ok.

I am using Spotify free version.

I am using android version 10 and my phone is Samsung A20e.

There are a lot of variables here, and as much as I want to blame Spotify for simplicity sake, the issue appears to be with Bluetooth.  E.g., when I listen on my PC, everything is fine.  The only wireless protocol between me and spotify is my Internet.  My speakers are hardwired near-field studio monitors, and I am using USB 2.0 protocol w/ a Focusrite Scarlet 18i20 v2 for my A-D-A.  BPM matches perfectly per artist spec.

However, when I practice drumming I listen to Spotify through my wireless earbuds bluetoothed from my Pixel 6Pro.  The tempo is all over the effing map.  Phone and earbud resets work on occasion but only after multiple attempts at each.

It's the BT protocol screwing things up.  It also happens with my JBL Flip - again BT protocol.  Read up on how hilariously slapdash BT development was and maintenance still is... again, I want to blame Spotify, buuuuuut...

Custom service is full of responses just to make the average joe to skip the thought. Source is slowing down the music on purpose: if you program yourself on music, they can stress you and tense you whenever they please. The worst part, most don't even bother, even fewer notice it.

So Spotify ppl, are you gonna delete the comment or never publish it?

Worth notice: life is truly hackeable, this should be standard thinking after COVID

The music on the web version is very slow for some reason. While my friend doesnt have the same problem

I've already tried every obvious fix and even some tricks like changing the speed on a podcast but the music stays slowed.

with obvious fix i mean restarting everything, checking wifi connection, etc.

I am listening on a slow Chromebook that's about 5-6 years old, but this just started happening recently. It's like the playback speed is on .75 or .5. It's really irritating, and I don't have a phone to fix it. I am on my Dad's family premium account.

Hey folks!

Does this behaviour only happen with the Web Player and not the Chromebook app? If it is so, try using a different browser to see if that would make a difference 🙂 In case it does, test the original browser with an incognito window and, if the issue doesn't show up, remove the browser's cache & cookies.

Keeping in mind what @c0rp53 has mentioned, in case the issue remains, we'd also like to ask you to see if it happens only when any Bluetooth devices are connected to your playback device and if the same behaviour can be observed if you download the abovementioned Spotify app on your Chromebook via the Google Play app store.

Hope you'll find this info helpful! Keep us posted on how things go 🙌🏼
