Music streaming site Spotify is temporarily off the air

NEW YORK (AP) — The music streaming service Spotify was temporarily offline Sunday, leaving thousands of listeners without access to music and podcasts.

More than 40,000 people reported outages with the music platform on downdetector.com, a website that allows users to report problems with popular apps and services.

Spotify wrote on X on Sunday afternoon: “We are currently aware of a number of issues and are investigating them!”

In response to the message, Spotify users complained about the outage disrupting workout routines and plans to stream a playlist at a child’s birthday party.

About an hour later, the streaming service reported that everything looked much better. The app seemed to work normally.

Millions of people use Spotify, the largest streaming service in 2023. The music platform reports that it has more than 626 million users, with 246 million subscribers.
