Why Wont My Spotify Playlist Download 2017

  • Aug 22, 2013  Why won't Spotify download? I had Spotify on my Mac laptop up until a few days ago. A banner popped up saying soon Spotify would no longer be available on my platform, and directed me to a link that told me if I deleted Spotify and downloaded it again it would work.
  • Somehow, with no connection and in the depths of the earth beneath NYC, Spotify on my iPhone decided that I had synced my playlists to more than “three devices” and completely purged all 4GB.

I can't download more than 9 songs of any Spotify playlist. This one for example:

It gets to 9 songs (not in the correct order) and stops downloading.

Another playlist to test with:

I'm on Windows 7. Let me know if you need any more info, and glad to test any fixes.

The App is also not crawling the Playlist Infos.
After 1 Hour, no donwload or Infos of the Playlist.

Strange, it does obtain my playlist info, but never gets further than 7 to 9 songs downloaded.

Interestingly I had the same issue months ago and posted about it, but the issue was marked fixed.

This is realy strange, right.
I have downloaded the lastest Version, but my Playlist details was not crawled.

Edit: i have fixed this issue ... the download path was wrong, but downloads are not starting.

Edit2: Comand back, the download works now after a little waiting time. The playlist with 57 Tracks was completely downloaded.

Hmm. Is it working for this playlist? That should have a length of 164 songs:

If so, what platform are you on?

Same with me, can not download a spotify playlist that includes more than 9 songs. It does not even download a single song

Can you try again with the latest version (0.3.6)?

If it still doesn't work, re-open the issue and say the exact Spotify URL you used.

Why Won't Spotify Play Music

Still having the issue with version 0.3.6. This is the exact Spotify URL I'm using:

It downloads 8 songs and then freezes.

I'm on Windows 7 if that's a factor.

Edit: I opened a new issue since apparently I can't reopen this one:

Spotify playlists still freezing after only 8 songs #82

I noticed from under the File menu that Spotify allows you to import your iTunes playlists, but when I do so it simply imports the playlist names, but all of them are empty (no tracks appear within any of the playlists)...


I know this can't be right, so what am I missing here?


Not sure if this is relevant, but my iTunes library & media is stored on an external hard drive and my primary Home>Music folder is empty... iTunes and my Mac OS are completely up-to-date; I've run Cocktail to repair permissions and perform all sorts of maintenance routines on my machine, and I've even uinstalled and reinstalled Spotify in an attempt to get this working. I've had no luck with everything I've tried.


Spotify is counter-intuitive in the way it handles your iTunes music. I've just launched mine (the Free version) and all my iTunes playlists are there. The tracks that Spotify has are in white, and if you Play those you presumably are hearing the Spotify track. However, tracks which Spotify doesn't have are in pale beige. I just tried highlighting a track and playing it and got this message :


'This track was added as a Local file. If you have the file on your computer you can import it'


It looks as if you have to physically import to Spotify any tracks you want it to play, which it doesn't already have. Which kind of begs the question : if you already have iTunes, what's the point?
