6 years ago Hey there, Was experiencing the same thing as you, turns out it's coming from this line
0.0.0.0 spclient.wg.spotify.com
in the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) that EZBlocker adds https://github.com/Xeroday/Spotify-Ad-Blocker/blob/97acd86416b489cf8c08127393438d927f9bcea7/EZBlocker/EZBlocker/Form1.cs#L34
Removing it and restarting brings back the Daily Mix and Friend Feed, but also the Spotify issued ads.
I see a lot of tickets about this particular reference in different parts of Github: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues/270 https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/issues/552 https://github.com/FadeMind/hosts.extras/issues/13
Maybe someone can find some more recent discussion. I don't think this will be a quick fix.
On the latest version of Spotify, 1.0.83.318.g6c07039d, EZBlocker v1.6.8.6 is breaking some features, namely Daily Mixes, Radio, and the Friend Feed. Daily Mixes aren't showing up in the side bar, the Radio page shows the message "Error Failed to load", and the Friend Feed shows the message "Hmm, the Friend Feed failed to load." If other features are broken, I haven't noticed them.
The first comment on your website mentioning the problem was 3 days ago. I only just updated Spotify (by restarting it), so I can't say exactly how long it may have been going on.
