r/spotify on Reddit: Spotify Web Player Keeps Skipping and Pausing Songs
March 31, 2020 -

I use Spotify web player and I keep having this issue where it just skips songs after a second or two. After it skips a few songs the final song will play until around 9 seconds and then freeze completely.

https://youtu.be/loLuQbkZvSo (Video of it happening)

This has been happening since yesterday and Spotify is completely unusable on web player and only web player. (it's working fine on my phone and xbox)

If anyone knows how to fix this please help me out because I'm sick of using youtube music and getting ads before every song.

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

April 17, 2019 - But for the past few weeks Ive been experiencing that the song sometimes sounds as if a cd had a micro scratch that stops it a ms and then keeps going ... If anyone still has this problem check if spotify is open on another device and close it there, that may solve it.

I try playing a song on Spotify web player, and it skips songs every 2 seconds and then it stops. I try playing music again, the same thing happens. This has been happening to me for the past few days. Using the desktop app is a no-go for me since I signed up with google login for my premium account and the desktop app doesn't support that yet. Does anybody know how to fix this?

r/truespotify on Reddit: How do I fix? - Spotify keeps pausing and skipping songs on its own
April 21, 2024 -

Spotify would pause on its own for whatever reason in the past, seemingly only when I added songs to the queue, after which it would resume when I paused and then played the song again, and this itself was pretty rare.
But now it has gotten increasingly more common for seemingly no reason, and it happens even if I don't add songs to my queue, and it also just skips songs in my queue.

For the record I mostly always play the songs on my amazon echo, which is linked to my spotify account. I have also disconnected my spotify account from my discord account, but that hasn't fixed the problem.
Please help, this is driving me nuts.

I have this problem that Spotify is constantly skipping songs as if they were unplayable. I tried so hard and got so far. But in the end, none of the songs even play.

They are playable. But they constantly just skip. I use spotify web. The ads play regularly.

I tried switching browsers, logging in and out... refreshing, restarting my PC. None of them worked. Anyone can help?

r/firefox on Reddit: Spotify Web Player skips multiple songs in Firefox for Windows
April 14, 2022 -

I know people have brought up issues with the Spotify Web Player in the past, but I haven't come across discussions about this particular issue.

I do not have the privileges necessary to install the Spotify desktop application on my work PC, so I often resort to using the Web Player (open.spotify.com) to listen to music. For the past month or more, whenever I attempt to play an album or playlist using in Firefox, the player will start advancing down the list of songs, almost like I am clicking the Next button repeatedly.

The Web Player behaves normally in Chrome. I have created a new Firefox profile, but the problem persists. I have tried playing tracks in Firefox's troubleshoot mode, but the problem persists. I have turned off my ad-blocker, but the problem persists.

Most other streaming services I have tried in Firefox--the web version of Apple Music, Netflix, YouTube, HBO Max, etc.--all work fine. The only other service that does not work properly is Amazon Prime Video; whenever I try to stream a movie or episode in Firefox, I get a "Video Unavailable" message in the window. I'm not sure whether this problem is related to the Spotify issue.

Any thoughts?

September 26, 2025 - So, the best way to get rid of this issue completely is to download and make a backup of all the Spotify songs so that you can switch to another player to play these songs whenever you have any problem with Spotify.

r/xManagerApp on Reddit: [SOLUTION] Way to Fix Spotify Revanced Skipping Songs ! [Suggestion]
July 5, 2025 -

This is a more explained version of my previous one, with the link ofc.

So what you have to do is to download an app called Spotifuck from mobilism forum, and then use that with the revanced version of Spotify which is currently skipping songs.

It works like a charm but make sure when you are in your Spotify app, then the playing device should be web player as it automatically gets chosen when you start the service in spotifuck.

People prolly hated me for not providing the direct link in the previous sub but I only did that so we don't have to see this not working after waking up tomorrow. But anyways the link is in this thing.

Web player skipping songs then cutting the sounds - The Spotify Community
June 15, 2023 - The song keeps playing but with no sounds. This doesn't exist on my phone, cancelling out the possibility of my account's details. I'm sure that the problem is not with my laptop's hardware despite it being old and somewhat slow. I use Windows 11 22H2 and Brave browser, both are not an issue since the Spotify web player is the only one not working fine. I looked this up multiple times and the main thing I see is that Spotify will skip songs when the internet connection is unstable, which often happens, but for the past month when my problem started happening, out internet connection is fine.
