Spotify App Takes Forever To Load

R/spotify: This subreddit is mainly for sharing Spotify playlists. Check out our wiki first. App takes forever to load (Android) Close. App takes forever to load (Android) Is the app super slow to start up for anyone else? I have to wait approximately 3-5 minutes for. After the last update Spotify really takes a looooooong time to load. I'm on Mac mini. Tons of RAM, really fast internet. Can you give some explanation, tips? Thanks for all the great work.

Like the subject says about an hour ago I started having problems with one drive (installed from the app store) not responding. I had to keep killing the process from the command line. Finally I uninstalled the app. Then when I went back to the App Store and it starts on the 'Featured' page it takes forever to load and even then it doesn't update any of the graphics associated with a given app. I searched for one drive and clicked install. It then fails and tells me to look in the purchased apps (where I already was) and to try and reinstall. It seems ridiculous that there is only email support or discussions community to deal with issues that are related to a core software package integrated with Apple's products whether they be iOS, laptop, or desktop devices. Is there anything I can do to get this resolved in a reasonable amount of time?

Spotify is great as long as you don’t hit a bump with some sync problem. Oh, there’s the issue of your premium account not getting activated (or recognized in mobile), but that’s often just a server glitch.

If local files from your Mac or PC don’t get synced with Spotify and instead, Spotify shows you ‘similar’ tracks that you can download instead, that’s going to be one big headache. This usually happens when you have music tracks with metadata that’s way too similar to the ones Spotify has on its server.

Why does this happen? The issue crops up mostly when you’ve got fan-versions of a popular song, or remixes and other modifications that leave pretty much of the metadata intact. This makes Spotify think that you’re trying to upload a song that’s already up there and so, it prevents sync and offers to let you grab the cloud versions.

Too bad, eh. But there’s a quick fix.

This is what you should try if Spotify not syncing Local Files to iPhone:

(make sure you use the same account on Spotify for your Mac/PC as well as for your iPhone)

Step 1. First, connect both your PC/Mac and your iPhone to the same Wi-Fi network.

Step 2. Now, open iTunes on your PC/Mac and you should find your iDevice listed under the Devices tab on the sidebar.

Step 3. Create a new playlist from your system (on the device) and place one of the local files into this.

Step 4. Open Spotify on your iPhone and then select the newly created playlist.

Step 5. Enable “Available Offline.”

Step 6. You’ll now see a progress icon right beneath the song you’ve got on the playlist. This will get the song from the cloud to your Spotify app.

Step 7. That’s about it.

When you add more songs to this playlist, they get synced. Make sure you don’t turn off the offline sync feature.

Note that there’s a limit to the number of offline songs you can have on your device (each).

That’s all folks!
