Spotify - Buggy/Not Loading?

[Marcust99]

Wife has a '21 MSLR and is complaining again that Spotify for her in the car is buggy. Meaning oftentimes she will get in the car and it won't resume so she'll have to either pick a new song, or get out of Spotify (say hit XM) then go back in for it to work. Or she will get in the car and there will be nothing where Spotify should be.

I've noticed this before in my '21 MYP but it hasn't happened too often.

Anyone else have issues like this?

I started having this same issue after updating to 2022.8.2. Before that update, I didn't have this problem. I have a '22 MYP for what it's worth.

I'm also having this since 2022.8.2. Was going to try logging out and in again / 2 button reset etc etc, but haven't gotten around to trying fixes.

Adding myself here. Same issue after the last update. Won't load 90% of the time unless I go to another music app then back to Spotify. Sometimes won't load at all after being asleep for a while, after about 5 minutes I get the refresh arrow and it works. Also had an issue yesterday with it going back to playing the same song even when selecting a different song or playlist.

I'm also having this issue with 2022.8.2. It's been really frustrating. Never experienced this before.

Same issue here.

Also wouldn't turn on the day after I installed this update and parked. All screens were black but I could technically drive. There was no way I was gonna risk that at night in the rain though. I restet multiply times and walked away and eventually it turned on normally

Same. Mostly doesn't work at all. I have to listen to Tesla's music app.

Same. I have the exact same symptoms from above, and it's annoying af.
There's a thread in the M3 section with the same issue

Every time I get into my new M3 music doesn’t autoplay and it tells me to “Choose Media Source”

Brand new M3 owner and every time I get in my car after a little while Spotify isn’t autoplaying and it tells me to “Choose Media Source” any idea why or what I can do to have it autoplay Spotify on entry?

That thread is a different issue. It's regariding an autoplay issue with Spotify. My issue is Spotify doesn't work at all. Or rarely. Since the update. Just spins and won't stream. When it does, it loads a quarter of my playlist then scrolls forever down the same songs. It's a buggy update Elon sent out.

Yeah, it's actually the same. To remedy your situation, choose "streaming" for a moment. It will quickly load the Slacker play lists, then switch back to spotify and it will load with no issues.
This has been my fix since the problem was consistent.

Unfortunately that trick used to work with the streaming issue. Doesn't work for this new streaming issue and playlist issue, though it appeared a year or so ago and now it's back.

Old Spotify Issue

2022 MS LR here and I have the same issue.

 

[kimi]

Same here. Seems to be a pretty widespread issue. For me it usually helps switch to another audio source (tidal for example) and back to Spotify for it to then load the UI. Every time I enter the car the audio banner is asking to select the source too btw.

 

[Valis]

Yeah, this has been happening to me on my S. Driving me nuts, usually happens when in the morning when I'm leaving the house and it's switching from wifi to LTE.

2022.8.3 did not resolve this

Yep. Ran this update today, I had been hopeful it was going to resolve this issue but it did not.

Have had issue with buggy Spotify since Day 1

Do you have to have a "Premium" account for Spotify to work? Free account doesn't want to login for me in my 22 MSP

 

[Loco_Nomad]

I don't have S, but 19 X, but also seeing how bad spotify became, I have premium with them, it is slow, buggy, often doesn't change tracks when I press the next, sometimes jumps 5-6 tracks skipping what I wanted etc. Also, just not having sort option by dates or artist is kinda sucks Tidal is the same, no sorting

Only if using on cellular
