Hi All. I have a problem with Spotify app on iMac.
It will load up and look normal but will not play music. Can press play button and will turn green to show selected but nothing more....
Any help appreciated.
Have tried clean install of app already.
Thanks
Paul
Solved!
Hi dialabrain
I followed some instructions on 'you tube' for this problem which for an IMAC are:
1). From finder menu click 'go to folder'
2). enter text: /private/etc/hosts. and click go
3). Copy 'hosts' file to desktop
4). Open file and delete any lines which include the word Spotify
5). I then copied the 'hosts' file back from desktop back to original location
Spotify now works as normal.

I don't know what it could be. You could make sure Spotify is checked in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Microphone.

If that doesn't work, I would post your question in the Spotify Community.
Spotify do not have any answers on this. A mac technical person wld prob have a few ideas. The app seems to be work up to a point but just not playing the soundfiles within the app. Maybe one of the Macs system settings needs tweaking. Hence posting on here...
However l don't understand this. The problem is with sound 'output not input?
Glad you asked. For some reason, I suspect an early version of a sound enhancement app I have installed, both Spotify and Tidal were in the list and enabled on mine. I disabled them both and they still play so that's not the problem you have.
Hi. I have looked at this Spotify does not appear under microphone. How wld l change this if necessary?
