Spotify officially acknowledges the concern
⁇ We know there are worries and we are in the process of checking everything! We will let you know Spotify has announced on its official account. However, no official explanation has been given yet.
Numerama’s editorial staff noted that it is possible to open the Spotify app but in some places it is non-standard:
- On mobile, some playlists (not downloaded) will not load
- On the desktop, many songs can be accessed, but no sound is produced when you click on the sounds to listen to them in “read” mode.
We now know of some issues and are working on them! We will post to you.
