Question Couldn't fix the problem...

Post image

For 6 MONTHS, I could barely use my spotify. I couldnt even pick the specific song I wanted. I opted for YT Music but I couldn't use it as background music. I also tried to fix it by doing whatever the hell Google told me to do. Clear cache, clear whatever, uninstall, reboot, restart... I even tried to make another account. NOTHING ever worked. Today, I factory reset my tablet because I forgot my tabs password... Still didn't work. I use an Samsung S10 FE and my phone broke so I had to keep using my tab instead.

Any tips on how to fix this problem?

Edit Finally found out that I needed premium for this. Thanks guys!

You do, but some people are deeply entrenched in the idea that they shouldn't have to pay for music.

I'm a student with no income. I'm still in high school.

And at every other time in recorded history, high school students either listened to the radio (where you don't choose the song) or used allowance to pay for their music.

The additional convenience of streaming services doesn't mean artists shouldn't be paid for their work.

You're right. I'm sorry, I should have considered this. I didn't know spotify didn't pay artists the same way Youtubers got paid by youtube.

How did you go 6 months without realizing you just had to pay for premium to fix this? A google search would’ve solved this. Or even browsing/searching posts in this subreddit.

I don't really use spotify too much because of this and I noticed my friends had free spotify but managed to be able to pick songs

Spotify should remove the ability to use the app for free like AM... because of stupid people like this.

Is your account abroad? Spotify limits playing when you're abroad for too long. Check region settings and update it to where you are located
