In between glitches, Spotify's support page issues the following message to users: Mashable reached out for comment from Spotify, but have yet to hear back. EST, the Spotify Status account tweeted, "Something's not quite right, and we're looking into it," and it has yet to be fixed. According to Downdetector, which is owned by Mashable parent company Ziff Davis, reports of problems began trickling in around 12:49 p.m. At the time of writing, Spotify has logged users out and isn't recognizing accounts.
Spotify went down for many users on Tuesday morning. How does it detect them? Audials has a ‘high speed’ feature that speeds up playback on Spotify, making recording faster, but also enabling the DSP to spot, for example, listeners who have mysteriously played “50 minutes of music within five minutes” in Audial’s words.The only thing some Spotify users are hearing today is silence. Market Research Telecast picked up on a post on the forum of software firm Audials (slogan: “It’s my stream”) whose Audials Music product promises to save songs from Spotify, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, Tidal and Deezer as “a private copy” for users by recording the computer’s audio output.Īccording to Audials, Spotify has now been blocking people’s accounts who it detected using the software, with an email sent to some of them explaining that “your account was involved in an improper use of the Spotify service that violates the terms of use, including potentially improper downloads”. However, there are also tools that are capable of ripping streams from audio services, and one of those services appears to be cracking down on the practice again. When we write about stream-ripping, we tend to focus on YouTube, because that’s the platform that has attracted the most activity (and tools) for ripping streams into downloadable files – music included.
