desktop skips tracks, web player - no

Solved!

desktop skips tracks, web player - no

Somebody help!

 

My desktop app skips some (not all) of the songs and shows a message "this track is not available", but when I open web player the same track is available and it plays nicely.

P.S. I'm using windows 10 and the newest version of spotify

Hey @mikaaa!

 

Welcome to the Spotify Community.

 

Let's try a deeper reinstallation to get this fixed. Just follow these steps:

 

  • Log out of Spotify and then close the program.
  • Uninstall 
  • Browse to the cache and delete everything inside the folder. The default location should be:

C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\Spotify\Storage 

 
  • Delete also the folder:

C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\Spotify\Users\<random numbers-user>\

 

There is a folder for each profile that has been logged into Spotify on that computer account. 

 

  • Restart your PC.
Let us know how it goes.

That particular link for downloading did not work out for me (some why did not let me log in), but i downloaded the app from the main spotify page and now those songs play! Thank you!
