Relaunch Spotify. It is possible that the Spotify app didn’t launch correctly and this may have led to. Spotify uses a freemium model, offering a basic service free of charge while enticing customers to upgrade to a paid subscription plan that includes mobile applications and advertising free stream. Spotify is available for multiple platforms including Windows, OS X and Linux as well as iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry and Windows Phone.

Here is how to stop Spotify from opening on Mac startup using App Cleaner & Uninstaller: Open App Cleaner & Uninstaller. Go to the Startup Programs tab. Find and select the Spotify login item in the Login Items section. Select Spotify from the top menu (next to Apple logo on Mac) and click on Preferences. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select Show Advanced Settings.

  • Update the app
  • Verify that you're using the same Spotify account in both Spotify and Musixmatch
  • Close the Musixmatch window, wait 30 seconds, and re-open it
  • Click on Pause, wait 30 seconds and click on Play (on Spotify)
  • Change Track on Spotify and wait 30 seconds
  • Login / Logout (Musixmatch)
  • Close the app (right mouse button on Musixmatch tray icon > 'Quit Musixmatch') e re-open it

A step-by-step guide to fixing a slow Spotify desktop app on Mac or PC.

Spotify Not Launching Mac

Note: In many situations, a slow hard drive is the most likely culprit for a slow Spotify app; I strongly recommend upgrading to a solid state drive (SSD), which can greatly improve overall performance. Also, if manually deleting your cache in the method this post suggests does not work, reinstalling Spotify may help clear up issues; Spotify’s support page has a step-by-step breakdown of how to do this.

Today, while using Disk Inventory X tool on my Mac, I discovered my Spotify cache was taking up a staggering 10.5GB of space. As of late, I had also been experiencing significant slowdown in starting Spotify, and the application took at least a minute or two to boot up. I decided to clear the large cache earlier today, and the application’s performance improved dramatically thereafter. I’ve seen other people who have this issue, and so I figured I might write a step-by-step guide for dealing with it. Please close the Spotify app before following the steps below.

Mac

1. Using Finder, under the Go menu at the top of the screen, select the Go to Folder option (you can also press Shift-Apple Key-G to access). Inside the “Go to the folder” field that pops up, type or paste ~/Library/Caches/com.spotify.client/ and then click “Go” or press Enter.

2. Delete everything inside the com.spotify.client folder. Mat port devices driver download for windows 10. You can select all of the items by pressing Command + A.

3. Using the Go to Finder option from Step 1, go to ~/Library/Application Support/Spotify/.

4. Inside the Spotify folder, look for a file called prefs. Open this file in Notepad and add storage.size=1024 on a new line at the end of the file. Save this file. This should limit the size of Spotify’s cache to 1024MB or 1GB; you can change the “1024” value if you would like the cache to be smaller or larger.

5. Delete the PersistentCache folder inside the Spotify folder.

2. Type or paste C:UsersYOURUSERNAMEAppDataRoamingSpotify into the directory bar of Windows Explorer. Inside this folder, look for a file called prefs. Open this file in Wordpad and add storage.size=1024 on a new line at the end of the file. Save this file. This should limit the size of Spotify’s cache to 1024MB or 1GB; feel free to change the “1024” value if you would like the decrease or increase the size of the cache.

P.S. If you would like some good Spotify playlists, I have a small, frequently changing playlist or a (nearly) endless playlist with 1400+ songs and counting. (Or check out the Spotify tag below this post.)
