August 18, 2020 - I downloaded Spotify through the play store, as by default it goes into the browser. Downloading it managed to stop it. Or if you can’t download it, you activate it on your google nest (if you have one) and it will go back to normal, providing it’s still playing on the nest. :) ... I literally just brought my new chromebook home 20 minutes ago and was dealing with the same thing because I downloaded it through the browser, go to the playstore and uninstall it and reinstall.

r/spotify on Reddit: Spotify Web issue: Every song freezes at the 9 second mark. (Chrome Browser & ChromeOS)
June 13, 2018 -

Is there a known fix for this?

I've cleared my browser history, my cache, everything. I even did a powerwash on my Chromebook as well as used the "Sign out of everywhere" option under my account settings on Spotify. No matter what song I choose, it's always EXACTLY at the 9 second mark.

I've tried searching on Google for a solution, only to find posts from 2017 or earlier with this same issue, with responses saying that it "fixes itself" or to try using the "Sign out of everywhere" option. I can't seem to find an actual fix for this and I'm hoping someone here can help me out.

This can cause temporary incompatibility on the browsers. Of course, Spotify will fix the issue itself after knowing about the problems. So, if Spotify’s web player still skips songs even after refreshing the session, you can simply switch to another browser.

My Spotify is skipping songs in my playlist, and is cutting audio at ten seconds. It only happens on my school computer. What is going on? - Quora
Answer: Go to settings > Show advanced settings > Playback. Here check your crossfade duration. Mine is 7 seconds, so spotify merges the last 7 seconds of a song with the first 7 seconds of the next song and thus 7 seconds are cut.

r/spotify on Reddit: Spotify skips exactly 5 songs then will only load 10 seconds of a song? (web player)
October 12, 2019 -

This is one of the more bizarre problems I've had. Whenever I double click on a song or press a play button Spotify will skip exactly 6 songs and then play 9 or 10 seconds of the 6th before it won't play any more. What the hell is going on and how can I fix it?

I can still get all songs to "play" (10 seconds) by using the skip and back buttons. I've never had a problem with spotify before.

UPDATE: firefox updated and the issue is gone, still no clue what caused it, probably completely out of my control
