I found this on a question posted two years ago - I'm having the same exact problem. The best chosen answer was to kill the app and then re-open it. This does not work. I'm getting really upset because I pay $10/month and half of the songs on my playlist stop playing. Help! I'm hoping that since 2011, there have been advances in knowledge as to why this happens! Anything helps. Thanks!
Something is wrong with my Mac. Out of the blue, over the last few days, it is running extremely slow. Web pages won't load or if they finally do it takes forever. The little spin wheel just keeps going. Sometimes a page will load after a very long time but as I scroll down, only part of the page is there and the rest never loads.
Previous Question:
I just got Spotify and signed up for the $10/month plan that includes the mobile access. I'm somewhat disappointed, however, because the app has a terrible layout that makes it incredibly difficult to find music that you've saved (all you can do is add it to a playlist or create one). But what is most disappointing is that random songs will not play on the mobile app (iPhone at least) but they will play on the computer program. The songs will not be grayed out as unavailable and will appear to be completely accessible, but when you press to play one of these random songs, it will bring up the album picture and look like it's going to play, but never loads the song.

- Why do some iPhones cost $200 and some cost $900? Is there like data forever or something on these jacked up price or are you literally buying a $900 iPhone when you can only use it for Wi-Fi? And why does it cost so much less when you get it with a service plan like AT&T?
Your Mac shows an Apple logo when it finds your local startup disk, which is a startup disk built into your Mac or directly connected to your Mac. As startup continues, you should see a progress bar or indicator , with or without the Apple logo. This screen might alternate with a blank screen several times.
Spotify Still Opens On Startup
If you're installing macOS, the Apple logo or progress bar might remain onscreen for much longer than usual after your Mac restarts. As installation continues, the progress bar might move slowly and pause for long periods. That's why Apple recommends beginning macOS installation in the evening—so that it can complete overnight, if needed.
If you feel that you've waited long enough to know that your Mac is stuck on this screen:
Mac Spotify Don't Load Startup App
- Press and hold the power button for up to 10 seconds, until your Mac turns off.
- Try using safe mode to identify the issue.
- If the issue persists, unplug all accessories from your Mac, including printers, drives, USB hubs, and other nonessential devices. (You could have an issue with one or more of those devices or their cables.) Once more, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds, then press it again to turn your Mac back on.
- If the issue persists, turn off your Mac again, then turn it back on and immediately press and hold Command (⌘) and R to start up from macOS Recovery.
- While in macOS Recovery, use Disk Utility to repair your startup disk.
- If Disk Utility found no errors, continue to the next step.
- If Disk Utility found errors and repaired them, restart your Mac. If the issue persists, continue to the next step.
- Take either of these actions:
