New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on February 24, 2022) follows:
If you like listening to music, you must have heard about Spotify. Founded in 2006, the music streaming service has more than 180 million premium subscribers worldwide.
Over the years, Spotify has grown exponentially and has a collection of more than 70 million songs. But in the last few months, users have reported several issues such as the scroll bar not working in ‘Liked Songs’ section.
As it turns out, Spotify users are now facing another issue where the crossfade functionality is broken or resets to random numbers. Many said they tried changing the setting but it does not stick.
Moreover, it looks like the bug is limited to the desktop version of the app since mobile users say the function is working as intended. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app seems to make no difference.
Thankfully, Spotify has commented on the matter and said that they have escalated the issue to the development team for further investigation. However, there is no timeframe on when it will be resolved.
In the meantime, those affected can try using their smartphones to play the music and use the desktop app to control that playlist.
We hope Spotify finds out the root cause of the issue and restores the broken crossfade functionality in the coming days. When they do, we will be updating this space to let you know so stay tuned.
