Spotify is my favorite and most used service I have, even more than TV and streaming services. Everyday I use Spotify whether I am in the car, working in the office, cooking, chores, and anytime I want tunes Spotify is on. No software or service is without its flaws and nuances but one issue got to a point I needed to address it. That issue was with the desktop app from Spotify.
Over time the desktop app became slower and slower, less responsive to the point of taking minutes to load one playlist. Uninstalling completely and reinstalling worked for a short time but eventually the app would degrade to that level of poor performance. That told me it wasn’t my machine but something with the app.
I searched for solutions and if others had the same problem and found may posts that did but no good solutions that worked. Until I came across a lone post with complicated steps. I went through those and those worked well.
To listen to music on the go, download Spotify from the Google Play or Apple app store. Spotify on Android with Google Play Spotify on iOS with the AppStore. To listen on other devices, a separate app may or may not be required, depending on the device. For more information, see how to play on your speakers, car, TV, or games. Is anyone else's Android app ungodly slow? My Spotify app takes an inappropriately long time to boot, and once it does I have to wait even longer to use the search function or access any playlists. I'm using a Moto X Pure with more than enough storage space and I just reinstalled the app only the get the same result. Spotify is testing me. The android app has been awful for over a month now. Slow, unresponsive and skipping music on 50gb WiFi. Can someone at Spotify please take note. Fix it now or ill take my custom elsewhere. Just fix it already!

The problem comes down to the cache management of the Spotify app. Overtime the cache files grow to a size that passed efficiency to the point of being very large and therefore more difficult the computer to use them without expending more memory and processing which becomes counter-productive. Descargar spotify mod hack apk. The solution is to clear out the cache files and then set a configuration setting in the Spotify setup files to cap the cache size to not bloat.
This post is to simplify those steps for both MacOS and Windows. Spotify 1 year subscription free.
MacOS
- Close Spotify if running. Open Finder.
- Under the Go menu option select Go To Folder. (Shift–Command-G)
- Type in or paste this ~/Library/Caches/com.spotify.client/
- Click Go or hit Enter on the keyboard.
- In this folder you should see a Browser folder, Data, fsCachedData and other files. Delete all the contents. Command-A to select all, move to trash.
- Go back to the Finder. Same as Step 2 and 3 go to folder ~/Library/Application Support/Spotify/
- In this folder, look for a file called perfs.
- Open perfs in a text editor.
- Add the text in bold at the end of the file. This will limit the cache to 1024MN or 1GB. You can set this to whatever you want but this will cap the cache and not let it grow to an unlimited size. storage.size=1024
- Save the file.
- Delete the PersistentCache folder.
Windows
- Note <your username> is your windows login. Go to the folder C:Users<your username>AppDataLocalSpotify.
- Delete these folders – Browser, Storage and Data.
- Go to the C:Users<your username>AppDataRoamingSpotify folder.
- In this folder, look for a file called perfs
- Open perfs in Notepad or other text editor.
- Add the text in bold at the end of the file. This will limit the cache to 1024MN or 1GB. You can set this to whatever you want but this will cap the cache and not let it grow to an unlimited size. storage.size=1024
- Save the file.
Those steps for Mac and Windows should resolve the Spotify desktop performance degradation you are experiencing. It has for me and I wouldn’t waste my time writing this out if it didn’t.
https://yvwwqcc.weebly.com/blog/spotify-desktop-app-slow-reddit. Totally with you. My Spotify on Android has been getting slowly slower for months. Today I'm trying to queue up a few hours of songs to study to and it is basically unusable, two songs queued in five minutes. How the fuck am I paying $12 a month for this shit? Edit: Galaxy S8, cache emptied, so the problem is the app, not the phone. Spotify has nothing that should make it slow. Yet it is the most shitty, buggy and slow piece of shit software you can get, in context of a company with dozens of millions of PAYING customers. Spotify once wasn't slow neither on desktop nor on mobile devices. It became more and more slow over time. It's become awful lately maybe over the last 1-2 months. I have an iPhone 7 and Spotify is slow to open, slow to play songs, and sometimes just freezes up altogether and I have to hard close the app and open it again. Spotify on mobile worked better in 2012 and I'm not. 57 votes, 11 comments. 9.7k members in the truespotify community. A place to discuss Spotify news, tricks, hacks, and to get help.
