I listen to Spotify on my work computer. In the last few weeks the fan always spins up when I try to play it, and I’m constantly having to reload the window for it to play anything. Playback will stop in the middle of a song sometimes.

open.spotify.com in Firefox on Windows 10. I disabled ublock. Same issue on work network and home.

    I’m still waiting for them to re-add a scrollbar for the mobile app podcast pages. Reported its disappearance multiple times the last two years, and just get empty answers from Spotify. Relistening to old podcasts is a pain, when having to scroll through hundreds of episodes without a quick scrollbar.

    I’ve never NOT had an issue with Spotify on desktop. They’re trying way too hard to monitor when and where you’re listening.

    Yes. Spotify seems to stop playing a podcast when on the website. Although it looks like it’s still playing but the audio stops.

    I can’t install anything on my work laptop so I had to use the website. It’s not great. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were leaving it shitty on purpose so more people will download the app

      I do use it often when driving. But I make frequent video calls through my computer, and want all audio running through the same speakers.
