Launch Spotify in Romania

I think that given the current alternatives:- Zonga- Deezer- Apple Music (in the not-so-distant future) Spotify would be wasting a chance to get further into the eastern market if it does not launch in Romania as well. There are already a lot of musicians from Romania on Spotify, which means that securing licensing agreements couldn't have been that hard. Furthermore, following the example of deezer which comes bundled with Orange voice contracts, respectively zonga and vodafone, I think that Spotify could seize this opportunity to secure a deal with Telekom and either bundle their services or just outright open here as well. It makes a lot of sense especially since Spotify opened in Hungary and Bulgaria as well. The expansion would only be natural and it would also further drive down the hated piracy phenomenon in the balkans and eastern europe. In the 21th century on a competing market, spotify's ease of use, multiplatform, streaming quality and array of artists would ensure a switch over from the other services to spotify. I was told by a Spotify support representative, a few months back that it is planned to launch Spotify in Romania as well, however, somehow, those plans changed, and the "official facebook page" was taken down, and now, the official position is that nobody knows when this is happening. I only want to know the truth, and use this service without resorting to all sorts of loopholes to enjoy it. I think it's time people in my country are treated the same way others are all over europe. There's bad seeds everywhere, but I don't think everyone has to be held accountable for the actions of the few. If you demand respect, you should show respect.

[Desktop] Return the possibility to launch Spotify minimized to tray upon Windows logon

You returned the possibility to minimize Spotify to tray by clicking the close button in version 1.0.7 and I am eternally grateful for that.Now it only lacks one more thing - add a fourth option to the "Open Spotify automatically after you log into the computer" setting.Currently there are 3 options - "Minimized", "Yes" and "No". The fourth option should be "Minimized to tray".I want to be able to start listening to music just by pressing the Play button on my keyboard; many times I don't even open the Spotify window (I do that only to change the playlist or perform a search), so I don't need the Spotify window taking space in my taskbar upon Windows logon.In version 0.9.x it was possible to achieve this behaviour, so I think this functionality should be retained.An alternative to adding the fourth option would be that once I choose the "Minimized" startup option, it would automatically decide whether it will launch minimized to taskbar or to the tray, based on the value of the "Close button should minimize the Spotify window to the tray" setting - if I remember correctly, this was the way it behaved in version 0.9.x.

Spotify Hanging On Launch (iOS Beta 9)

Background: I'm running iOS 9 beta on an iPhone 6 Plus connected to an Apple Watch on Watch OS 2 beta, so I'm used to everything being buggy with my phone. But until this week, I've never had an issue isolated to the Spotify app. (Kudos, Spotify devs!!) Problem: today, I launched Spotify and it immediately hung. I "killed" the app and relaunched, and it let me hit play, but it didn't play anything. I started reading through the forums (https://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-iOS-iPhone-iPad/iOS-8-Support/td-p/920479/page/1) and found a fix that worked for a lot of people running iOS 8. I tried it for my iOS 9 setup and it worked like a charm! Solution:1. On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Language & Region > Region2. Change your region. (Not sure the rest of these steps are actually necessary. Post if you skip them and it still works! I still recommend doing step 6, though... *wink*)3. Launch or switch over to Spotify. 4. Kill Spotify.5. Reopen Settings and navigate back to the Region screen if necessary.6. Change your region back to your actual country of origin. Best of luck, and thank you, Spotify Community!

Hy TASNovell,
in our tests, we have the same problem - only help -> remove app, install it new and rejoin to the mdm :-(
Please test the join with an other iphone, which is not in the mdm - we have big problems at the momtent, to join iOS devices with 7.1.1.

Spotify crashes on launch

Hi Liam,
I'm experiencing a similar problem: as soon as I launch Spotify Desktop it crashes.
I can not even click anywhwere, it just immediately crashes. I removed spotify from my system and then re-installed it, but with no results. It keeps on crashing.
If you need additional info, please ask me.
Ciao
Fkappa
Super user edit: Edited title as merged out from thread.

Spotify has all of a sudden started crashing on launch. If it does launch it goes into the pinwheel and gets stuck. I have to force quit to stop it.
I have deleted and reinstalled several times and nothing is fixing the problem. Can't find any caches or other files to delete?
Running on a Macbook air...OSX 10.9.1
Help?

Spotify crashes like stupid

On almost every song change, it crashes with this message:

No matter what song, whether it is minimised or not, whether it is spotify, or spotify-beta.

I had the same problem when using spotify-beta. I went back to spotify 0.8.4.103-1 in AUR and everytime before launching spotify, I would clear its cache by
rm -r ~/.cache/spotify
I haven't had any crash after doing that. I'm not sure if that is the fix, but it worked well for me.

Can't run or uninstall spotify

I'm on Windows 7 64bit. I'm trying to get Spotify Desktop up and running on my work laptop. I was able to run Spotify once, immediately after installing it. Then, I closed it by accident and I started to get a crash when launching Spotify and have not been able to run it since. So, I tried to uninstall but that didn't work. I deleted the contents of the Spotify folder under appdata\roaming and reinstalled. Now, I get a different error and Spotify still crashes when trying to uninstall. The error that I am getting at this point is "An internal exception occured (Address 0x1337ec1). Please contact [email protected]" I have tried searching Google for suggestions on how to proceed but haven't had any luck so far. I am not sure if it is worth mentioning that my system is using hard disk encryption security software, but I am not sure why this would prevent Spotify from running. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi resaebiunne, I think this is difficult to troubleshoot as it seems specific to your environment. Also, the error message seems to be undocumented (at least here on the forums) so there's no past history that can help us help you. Here is the link to contact Spotify support: https://www.spotify.com/about-us/contact/contact-spotify-support I hope they can help you sort this out! Please post back here if you find a resolution. Thanks,Kitty

Spotify keeps installing

practically everytime I launch Spotify it installs itself, but then this usually fails because files are in use, so I delete the Local and Roaming folders, then install it again, which means it takes about 10 minutes before I can play any music. This is a pain in the proverbial, what is to be done?

Are you on XP? If so check your C:\ root folder. Spotifiy tries to dump itself in there when installing but checks the one in the local/roaming folders for the version and doesn't always have rights to edit the root directory one it's actually running as it darn well shouldn't.

Workaround for browse which doesn't work upon login

I've seen this post here before that the browse feature doesn't work when you first launch the web player in Windows. I use the web player with Spotify Unlimited on a laptop running Windows 7. I seem to get a new release nearly every day, and this problem persisits. So what you can do is launch the application, log in, close the application, (you won't be able to log out and it won't matter anyway). Then wait a few minutes or you'll get the dialog box The spotify application is not responding. Then re-launch Spotify and the browse feature will work.

Hi Rick -
I do not have multiple versions of RoboHelp installed on my machine. The browse sequence worked with a new project, but it won't work with my established project (which has "exclude" conditional tags for some topics in several folders and some folders that are excluded all together). I do have more than one window definition, but the only one that is used is the "secondary" window. I attempted to enable browse sequence for both (main and secondary), but it still would not work. My primary layout is Microsoft HTML Help. The project is NOT in source control. I inherited the project, which had multiple tech writers building it since 2002. Also, since attempting to enable a browse sequence, the project opens very, very slowly. So I removed the browse sequence and performance increase somewhat, but it takes a long time to open. The project is not that large - 900 topics. Any additional thoughts . . .
Regards,
Denise

Subject: Browse sequence doesn't work in project
Hello again
By chance do you have multiple versions of RoboHelp installed? I do and I'm unable to coax the Browse Sequence bar into a CHM I compile using RoboHelp 8.
You may be onto a bug. I'd strongly encourage you to report as same to Adobe. (Link is in my sig line)
A parting question here. Does it show if you create a new project?
Ohhh, and another question or two just popped in.
Do you have more than one Window definition?
Is your primary layout configured to be Microsoft HTML Help?
Cheers... Rick

Personas search doesn't do an exact search. a search for 'ween' results in 'halloween' personas to display before 'ween'

if it does partial matching and exact matching, then the problem is it doesn't give priority to exact matches to be displayed before partial matches.

I experienced the same issue. Reproduction steps: Launch Spotify version 1.0.11.134.ga37df67bSearch for songs with the word "Jamaica"Sort results by artistLook for songs titled "Jamaica" by Van She. There should be nine matches. Eight are on a remix album (spotify:album:1zEjRI2Uwr8IZeIWXcMkHI). One is the original version on spotify:album:3RZZDujgW2di8STpTT7JAE.Observe that the search results only contain three results by Van She. The other six songs are nowhere in the search results.I wonder how many other searches have failed me in the past. I'll never know.

[Desktop][OS X] CPU Use 90%

CPU Usage before and after launching Spotify

I'd like to offer a solution that worked for me instantly. High CPU usage has been an ongoing problem for me with Spotify. CPU usage was consistently at 80-120%. I have a very large music library on my computer and I wondered if that might have something to do with the problem. I went into preferences and unchecked all local music sources as shown here:
Once I unchecked these, my CPU usage immediately went down to about 5%. Apparently the app was slogging though indexing and listing all of these songs. I tried re-checking the boxes, and as soon as I did the CPU immediately shot up to 80%+ again. When this scanning/indexing is happening, you will see this animated blue circular arrow indicator next to "Local Files" in the left menu.
I tested by checking only iTunes in the preferences and I let it keep running and when the blue animation stopped, the CPU went back down to 5% again. I restarted Spotify to see if the scan would last and it did, CPU was still at 5%. Then I checked "Music" and the scan started back up and CPU shot up again.
I wondered if I made changes to my iTunes library if the scan would start over, so I quit spotify, started iTunes, made a few changes and created a new playlist and quit iTunes. I reopened Spotify and the scan only took a few seconds and CPU was normal again.
I hope this info is helpful for Spotify to do something to manage this scanning for large libraries, because it really renders the computer unusable until the scan is completed.

Accidentally changed cache location and the app crashes and never opens

I recently changed the cache location to an external usb and whenever I try to open the app t crashes and gives me an error pop up. I cant change the cache location back to default since I can never open the app, feels like a catch22 situation. A simple reinstallation didn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

Hello: Wait you changed the cache location folder for the spotify desktop spotify app, or changed the location for a system wide cache location? If you did a system wide cache move your probable going to run into all kinds of isssues. Would not it be a smart idea to plug in the USB device that was used in the change of cache location, and then try to launch spotify and see if it loads correct and finds the hacked moved new cache location? What about trying to retrace your steps in how you changed the default cache location, and just reverse the process to move the cache location back to it's default location, using the terminal system folder linking process, and then try to see if spotify will launch properly? I mean your on a Mac is your HD that small? I thought that was one of Apples selling points, larger memory run abilities, and larger HD space for their systems? Does not Mac have something called Time Machine, have your tried that route to fix the lost Cache location folder?

Missing album artwork when offline

I notice that album artwork is missing when I'm offling playing tracks that I've saved/downloaded for offline use. As the track is locally saved shouldn't the album artwork also be stored locally? When I go online the album artwork reappears.
Bizarre??!

Incidentally, steps to reproduce on Spotify iOS v3.3.0.1640: Put iPhone into Airplane Mode.Launch Spotify App.Small artwork shows album list: Enter album, large artwork missing: Small artwork shows in song bar whilst playing a song: Full screen now playing, large artwork missing: Can you please fix this?

Error Code: 18 Please Help

I listen to spotify constantly and need help. I have uninstalled for a clean re-installation, but while i downloaded the installer, it gives me error 18: "The installer is unable to install Spotify because the files to write are in use by another process. Please make sure Spotify is not running and retry."
Im running windows 8 and NEED help. if i could get some asap, that would be great

I am also having this problem, Here's the story, Windows 8 - Beta version (Cba buying full ATM)
Worked until about a week ago.
Tried uninstalling spotify and re-installing
Re-installing it comes up with Error code 18, I'm sure you get the gist of the message now as it seems to be a major win 8 problem..
So I go into %appdata%/Local/ and try to delete spotify folder
Deletes majority of the folder, apart from Spotify Launcher, Spotify, browser, storage and user, they are apparently running somewhere..
So I tried going into task manager, and noticed that in "Details" it was saying that spotify was still running, (Even though I uninstalled it 2 days prior) So I tried "End Process" And this message appeared "Access Denied" Nothing more nothing less. I have tried to block it through windows defender and then restarting, and then unblocking and restarting. No such luck. I have got as far as my knowledge will let me.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, And I will reward you in virtual love <3

Infinite Loading Screen Upon Startup Mac

So whenever I launch Spotify it always starts up the application and brings the app to the loading screen. Once on this loading screen the circle spins forever until I close the application. I have tried reinstalling the application multiple times now and I have even fully updated my mac. Please help!

I have the exact same problem! Has anyone figured out a solution to this?
