We have published a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) for our beta testers. In case there is something you want to know, please check the FAQ first!

If you’re experiencing problems with Spotify or want to send us feedback, you can select Give Feedback… from the Help menu and use the built-in interface for that. You can also check out our guidelines for submitting bug reports, crash dumps and screenshots.

Unfortunately we currently have some issues with a disk server, which caused Spotify to be unavailable this morning. At this stage in the beta test our production system is not as redundant as we would like it to be, and if things get worse, that might lead to some more downtime.

We’re doing everything we can to prevent that, but please bear with us, in case something happens. Sorry about the inconvenience!

We’ve released version 0.2.1 of the client, fixing a few bugs and adding some minor features.

On the Mac:

• Search results are now grouped on track.
• A spinning throbber is shown when waiting for views to load.
• Nice yellow error messages are shown in case of problems.

And on Windows:

• Hovering over the “My music”/”Play queue” header with a draggable
object will switch between views.

A day without music, what an odd thing… Won’t even try to make it happen here at the office, feels like a day without music would be a mistake, kind of like a day without coffe, air or love. We won’t stop the music.

This week we have made some changes to the Spotify infrastructure to be able to scale efficiently in the future. Our network engineer Emil has had a few busy nights this week but now everything is working according to the plan. Thanks, Emil and all other Spotifiers involved in the release! Very well done guys!

Because of this we’d like to raise a flag for potential interruptions when running Spotify. If you’re bumping into problems, please drop us an email so that we can help you fix it! We’re doing everything we can to make it work smoothly.
