We tested both the iOS and Android versions of Spotify and did not encounter any issues. However, we were unable to stream music using the desktop version of Spotify.
Spotify tweeted: “We’re aware of some issues right now and are checking them out! We’ll keep you posted.”
Mirror Online has contacted Spotify for further comment.
Several frustrated users have taken to Twitter to discuss the issues.
One user wrote: “Every song keeps stopping at 9 seconds and some won’t even load why tf is SpotifyDown.”
Another added: “Car journeys without music are the worst.”
And one joked: “How am I supposed to enjoy this 6 A.M. gaming session without my Slipknot?”
This isn’t the first time that Spotify has gone down in recent weeks.
