If you’re in the mood for some soothing Sunday morning music, we have some unfortunate news: Spotify may not be functioning properly at this time. On Sunday morning, September 29, users began experiencing difficulties accessing their favorite tracks and albums. The issues emerged shortly before 11 a.m., and by 12:20 p.m., DownDetector had reported over 40,000 users indicated that the music streaming platform was down.
As of now, Spotify has yet to provide a detailed statement about the outage, but they did send a notification at 12:14 p.m., stating, “We’re aware of some issues right now and are looking into them!” In response, users expressed their urgency for the service to be restored, with some commenting, “I can’t be left alone with my thoughts,” while others lamented, “The silence is overwhelming.” For the latest updates, check the SpotifyCares account on X to find out when the service returns online.
This isn’t the first time Spotify has faced disruptions. Similar issues arose on September 8, August 4, and April 19. While technical problems do occur from time to time, Spotify is known for its quick recovery, often resolving these issues within a few hours.
For worried music lovers, take a moment to relax. The current issue is on Spotify’s end, so the best course of action is to simply wait while they work to fix it. Although Spotify can be a bit temperamental at times, we have a guide available that covers common Spotify issues and ways to address them.
If you need something to listen to while waiting for Spotify to come back, consider Apple Music or YouTube Music as temporary substitutes. While they might not know your personal preferences, they can serve as stopgap solutions.
