Spotify is down - live updates on music streamer outage

It's over

Reports have basically zeroed out. I am able to access the web version where I can play music, edit playlists and everything else without any seeming lag.

Until next time.

Reports in decline

Since the Ongoing Issues page updated with a new post reports on Down Detector have been in a steady decline sitting around 600 as of this posting.

I'll keep an eye on things for a minute but it appears the outage is over.

Spotify acknowledges outage

On the ongoing issues page a moderator finally put up an "under investigation" post. Here's what she said:

We're getting some reports that the web player is down and shows a "Something went wrong" error.

This is being looked into.

Try the mobile app

While the desktop version of Spotify is more robust and easier to navigate, especially when making playlists, the mobile app may be your best bet right now.

I'm able to access it start playing music with no hiccups currently. I'm seeing comments on Down Detector indicating similar

Found a Spotify status account but no dice

On Twitter there is a Spotify Status account that appears to be official. However, like the Ongoing Issues page it hasn't seen any recent updates.

The last one I can see is from July 27.

Nothing from Spotify yet

Spotify doesn't appear to have a status page but there is the Ongoing Issues forum site where you can see what might be affecting the service.

Unfortunately, the most recent post from a moderator appears to be from Monday with nothing today.

Nearly 2,000 reports

As of this posting, Down Detector is sitting around 1,900 posts with multiple comments.

I can tell its bad because the comment section almost immediately went into insane Twitch-chat type of commenting. This usually indicates that a service is truly down since it drowns out the people actually reporting what's wrong with their version.

Spotify Browser down

I was able to login to the browser version of Spotify but can't do anything once I get in.

I currently get a something is wrong message. Reloading the page doesn't do anything.

The mobile app seems to be working better but it's very slow and takes awhile to respond to my inputs.
