If there is one thing that entices music lovers to sign up for Spotify Premium, it’s the seamless ad-free listening. However, a recent error in the Spotify app has Snee in ads between music flows, proving that even the best music flow services have their defective moments.
First reports of the error appeared online four weeks ago in the Spotify Community Forum, and it quickly turned out to be a common event for many Premium subscribers, causing significant frustration among those who pay to hear ad-free music. A few days after online complaints, Spotify recognized the question and began to resolve the error and share the following statement: “We have good news from our teams -a solution for the cases where Premium users noticed ads when listening to music have been implemented and you need to notice a difference right away.”
But it was four weeks ago, and almost a month after the edition of ads in Spotify Premium was raised, it seemed that many paid music fans still found ads that played between songs. Although Spotify has been vocal to run into promotional content mainly in podcasts, ads should still have no place in the Premium level for those who subscribe.
Eventually Spotify finally addressed the problem (again) just this week by going to X (formerly Twitter) Thursday, March 6 to share the status of the problem (see below). This is the last update we have received from the company, therefore we can only assume that Spotify is currently tacking the question head-on.
We are aware of some problems with the app right now and check them out! We’ll keep you updated here: https://t.co/locqe1o9oe6 March 2025
Could this error indicate the arrival of Spotify HiFi?
Spotify has definitely got his job carved for it, especially after his crash on ‘crack’ apps, but it is terribly practical that these bugs have emerged – especially in the wake of the recent rumors that Spotify HiFi could arrive later in the year.
Unlike launching a whole new level for loss-free sound, we can expect Spotify HiFi to be an addition to its premium level. One of the more interesting parts of Spotify’s next business enterprises is the possibility of a new ‘superfan’ level that promises improved fan experiences through deeper music catalogs and even offers on concert tickets.
Given that Spotify has not experienced one but two error problems within a short period of time, it only raises my suspicion that it could be in the middle of giving way to introduce its next levels and subscription addances. Spotify has borne brown of a lot of criticism, not only because of its ads-in-premium-bug, but also its five-year loss-free sound delay. There is a lot of pressure on Spotify to get it right and I just hope it can redeem itself.
