Apparently Spotify Today April 16 is affected by malfunctions for numerous users in Italy.

What the new Down of Spotify consists
Based on the analysis of the time graphic designer of Downdetectorit is observed that until the early afternoon the platform did not record any anomaly. Then, around the 14:30a sudden and significant increase in reports has been detected, with a peak that exceeded 4,600. This type of trend usually indicates a generalized dysfunction and not a simple localized problem, as could happen due to the home internet connection or a malfunction of individual users. The fact that the peak has been so clear and concentrated in a very short period of time suggests an internal problem with Spotify systems, perhaps linked to an error on the servers or a software update not successful. But in the absence of official statements by the company it is difficult to understand what the problem originated.
Deepening the data, the 72% of the reports concerns Difficulty connection to servers. This means that many of you cannot access musical content or that the application remains blocked during loading. The servers are IT structures that manage communication between your device and the online service: if they do not work correctly, it is impossible to listen to streaming music.

What to do during Spotify’s Down
It is important to specify that, in situations like this, reinstall the app or modify the settings of the device rarely leads to a solution, precisely because it is a upstream problem, that is, in the central Spotify systems. The best thing to do is monitor the official channels of the company (such as profile x or website, if accessible) e wait for the correct functioning of the service to be restored.
