Something went wrong
Spotify 'Something went wrong': tracks won't play in the app
Risk level
Low
Usually safe to check without specialist tools.
Urgency
Low
Quick answer
If Spotify shows Something went wrong or Page not available while playing, restart the app, update it and, if needed, reinstall it. Then check your connection, free memory and whether it happens on another device.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- Reinstalling Spotify removes downloaded music and podcasts and you will need to download them again; do it on WiFi if your data plan is limited.
Safe checks you can perform
- Restart, update and reinstall the app
- Try another device or the web player
- Check memory, battery, system and SD card
Leave these tasks to a qualified professional
- Do not attempt this professional task: Device manufacturer
- Do not attempt this professional task: Internet provider if the connection is unstable
What a technician must be able to justify
Technician visit
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Device manufacturer
What they doIf Spotify works on other devices but not on yours, even supported and updated, Spotify says you may need to troubleshoot further with the maker.
They must show youwhether a pending update or setting affects playback.
In writingthe case number and the fix they propose.
Internet provider if the connection is unstable
What they doIf playback drops only on your network and works when you switch, ask your ISP to review the stability of the line.
They must show youthe drops or outages logged on your line.
In writingthe ticket number and the repair carried out.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Restart, update and reinstall the app
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- close Spotify completely and reopen it; if the error returns, update it from the app store and, as a last step, uninstall and install it again.
- Result that matters:
- ruling out a fault in the app itself.
- If one of the steps makes it play:
- it was the app.
- If it still fails after reinstalling:
- check connection, memory and other devices.
- Evidence to keep:
- note of which step fixed it, or that none did, with the app version.
Evidence: Spotify not playing
Try another device or the web player
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- sign in with the same account on another phone, tablet or computer, or open the Spotify web player, and play the same track.
- Result that matters:
- knowing whether the problem is your device or the account or service.
- If it works elsewhere:
- the source is your device.
- If it fails everywhere:
- check @SpotifyStatus for an ongoing issue.
- Evidence to keep:
- list of devices tried with the result for each.
Evidence: Spotify not playing
Check memory, battery, system and SD card
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- confirm at least 250MB is free, the operating system is current and the battery charged, close apps you are not using and, on Android, try removing the SD card.
- Result that matters:
- meeting the device requirements Spotify lists for playback.
- If space, battery or an update was missing and fixing it restores playback:
- it was the device.
- If everything is fine and nothing changes:
- talk to the device manufacturer.
- Evidence to keep:
- screenshot of free storage and the system version.

What it means
Spotify Support groups this message with technical playback issues and the Page not available error. There is no single cause: the app may need a restart, update or reinstall; the connection may be unstable; the operating system may be outdated; memory may be short; or the device itself may be the problem. A quick way to narrow it down is to try another device or the web player. If it works there, the source is your device; if it fails everywhere, check @SpotifyStatus for a known issue.
