Thousands of listeners were unable to access music and podcasts on Sunday due to a temporary outage of Spotify. Over 40,000 users reported issues on downdetector.com, a platform for reporting problems with popular services, with outage reports beginning to surge around 10:45 a.m. ET.
In Spotify's desktop app, many users faced an error message stating, "Something went wrong," which hindered their attempts to play music. Similarly, the mobile app also proved unresponsive for some users, leading to frustration as they were unable to access their favorite tracks and podcasts. This dual outage across platforms added to the challenges faced by listeners during the service disruption.
