Spotify won't play music while spotifree open (spotify reinstall fixed) #35

Closed cameronetchart closed 9 years ago

cameronetchart commented 9 years ago

I just updated to the new Spotify v 0.9.14.13.gba5645ad (mac). Now, Spotify refuses to play any music while SpotiFree is open. I get the blue bar with the "Can't play the current track" error. If I close spotifree and click next track, it plays instantly. Local files always work, it's just for streaming. Reenabling SpotiFree while Spotify is playing seems to work until the next ad is played and finished; then I get the error.

Update: I was able to replicate this over and over. So I tried a full spotify uninstall (all library files + app) and reinstall. It seems to work now. Idk if something in the spotify update created the error, or whether it was a unique bug between spotifree and spotify. Feel free to close if others dont have this bug, figured I'd report it anyway.

Hi, thanks for reporting this. Reading your first message I was almost sure they have finally implemented some kind of protection against Spotifree, phew :)

@reggi Have you tried a full Spotify reinstall? P.S. Great choice of emoji :smile_cat:
