If you\u2019ve experienced issues with Spotify over the past few days, you\u2019re not alone. Here’s what you need to know.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last month, Spotify<\/a> officially started rolling out lossless audio<\/a> for premium subscribers after years<\/a> of<\/a> anticipation<\/a>. Promising higher audio detail that better reflects what artists and producers intended in the studio, it\u2019s designed to give users a richer listening experience. However, some users are still having to wait before they can experience a flawless Spotify lossless experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spotify’s Android app issue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Over the past couple of weeks, Android users have reported the Spotify app has been freezing, becoming unresponsive, or crashing entirely. Spotify has confirmed<\/a> that its Android app is currently facing issues. However, the issue doesn\u2019t appear to be affecting everyone. In particular, it seems tied to Samsung and Google Pixels devices when they\u2019re connected to specific Wi-Fi networks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crucially, Spotify notes that the problem doesn\u2019t occur when users are connected to mobile data. As a result, some users believe that Chrome-cast ready devices might be behind the app\u2019s instability. According to 9to5Google<\/a>, this could explain why the issues only occur when connected to certain WiFi networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spotify has acknowledged the issues on its community forums<\/a> and says a fix is in the works, though there\u2019s no confirmed timeline yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An interrupted lossless rollout<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The app hiccup comes amid Spotify\u2019s long-awaited rollout of lossless audio. The feature is making its way to more devices, including Sonos speakers. As TechRadar<\/a> reports, reviews so far have been mixed<\/a>. For those with high-end devices who can notice the richer, more detailed audio quality, it\u2019s a major upgrade.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those using the Android app to control their devices, the experience has not been as seamless as they would have liked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
