Eight Methods to Fix the "Spotify Can't Play Current Song" Error
1. Restart Your Computer
When we get some errors while operating our computer, we may think of restarting it. You may not believe it, and many people take it as a joke. But in fact, restarting our computer can always fix the puzzling errors that happened on it. Try to restart your computer when you meet the "Spotify Can't Play Current Song" error the next time.
2. Restart Spotify
Just like other popular software programs, it is normal that sometimes the Spotify desktop app and even the web player get frozen or have a random glitch, then the "Spotify Can't Play Current Song" error might happen. In this case, you can try to fix it by restarting the Spotify app, which may stop your music enjoyment for a little while, but it can make Spotify normal again anyway.
3. Re-sync Spotify
As a Spotify Premium user, you may have downloaded songs from Spotify. But if you don't get online at least once every 30 days and maintain a Spotify Premium subscription, your downloaded songs will be unable to play when you want to. This causes the "Spotify Can't Play Current Song" error.
4. Is the Music Available in Your Country/Region?
Although Spotify has now supported more than 80 countries and regions, the tracks in its music library do not. Some Spotify tracks are available in a country while users from another country may not be able to listen to them. That's why you should check if the current song is available in the country you are living in.
5. Free Up Space
Spotify needs at least 1 GB free space for smooth functioning. If you are using Spotify in off-line mode, then you may have run out of space on your device. Make sure to clean up the temporary files to free up space. You can go to Settings > Local Files and > Show Local Files to locate and delete the useless files that are occupying your storage space.
6. Turn On/Off Crossfade
Spotify provides a cool transition effect called crossfade. In the crossfade mode, users can enjoy a comfortable and smooth transition when switching songs. However, this could be a solution to solve the "Spotify Can't Play Current Song" error, try to turn on (if you haven't) crossfade mode or turn it off (if it is already on) and see if the problem is solved. You can find the switch by going to Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Playback
7. Switch Down the Audio Quality
There is a fact that probably every Spotify user knows, the "Very High" audio quality is available only if you are using Spotify Premium. If you choose "Very High" but you are actually using Spotify Free, then the "Spotify Can't Play Current Song" error will happen. In this case, you can simply switch it down to "Normal", "High" or "Automatic", just make sure it is not "Very High" in Settings > Music Quality.
