Information about the Spotify Blackberry app.
Below is the current list of officially supported Blackberry device models, on which the app has been tested:
The app may work on additional Blackberry models, but we cannot be sure that all features will function properly.
Currently the app only supports phones running on GSM networks. CDMA-network (for instance Sprint and Verizon) phones and the Torch 9800 are not yet compatible. This is due to Blackberry hardware issues related to the decoding of the Ogg format that Spotify uses for streaming.
Visit m.spotify.com with your Blackberry’s web browser, where you will be prompted to download the installer.
Due to a problem in the latest update of Spotify for Android, the Spotify/Timescape feature will be removed or inaccessible in your mobile. You will still be able to use the Spotify app just as before but you will not be able to reach it through Sony Ericsson’s Timescape. (More information)
You can hide Spotify from Timescape if you’d like by following these steps:
Please make sure that you have the latest Spotify mobile version.
To sync your phone with Spotify:
When syncing your music from Spotify to your iPod, only music from your Downloads, and music that you have imported into Local Files, will be transferred. You can read more about Local music here.
When syncing your iPod with Spotify for the first time, the following content will be erased from your iPod. The music will be replaced by music from your computer.
Please make sure that you don’t have iTunes running before you sync your iPod with Spotify.
To sync your iPod with Spotify:
If you would like to choose which playlists you want to sync to your iPod click “Manually choose playlist to sync” on the device page.
If your playlists are not loading or don’t update when you make a change we’re likely experiencing some temporary problems with our playlist servers. Your playlists will come back as soon as the problems are resolved, check our service status page for the latest updates.
You can have up to 3,333 tracks from the Spotify streaming catalogue synced for offline use, on each of up to 3 computers/devices at any time.
There is no limit to the number of your own imported local files that you can sync to offline playlists on any device
You’ll need at least a 3G connection in order to stream music. For best performance we suggest you sync your playlists using wifi and then listen to them while on the go.
Yes. You can have offline-synced playlists on up to three devices (mobile or computer) at a time.
Yes. By synching your playlists for offline mode you will be able to listen anywhere, including the underground or on a plane.
We use the Ogg Vorbis format for streaming. There are three quality ratings that we use:
Note: not all tracks are currently available in high bitrate.
Desktop: Streams are q5 quality. Premium subscribers can enable higher bit rate streaming at q9 from the preferences menu.
Mobile: A higher quality q5 is offered, along with a “low bandwidth” option of q3. You can choose separate qualities ratings for streaming and synching in the More tab of your Spotify mobile app.
This depends up upon the type of content..
Read moreYes. The Spotify iPhone app will run on the iPod touch in the same way that it does on the iPhone (except that internet access is only over wi-fi).
Please note that iOS 4 is a requirement in the latest releases of the Spotify iPhone app. Any iPod touch version that cannot be upgraded to iOS 4 cannot run the Spotify app.
This depends on your mobile data plan. To avoid any additional fees we suggest that you sync your playlists offline using wifi and then listen to them while on the go.
First, take a look at our Mobile section. On the Overview page, you can find out if your mobile device is supported.
The mobile apps themselves are free, and some versions can be used for playing your own music files, but you will need Spotify Premium to take advantage of fully-featured Spotify mobile streaming and offline mode. Read more
The device will switch off wifi when it goes into sleep mode if the charger is not connected. We recommend that you keep the charger connected when syncing, or consider setting the screen lock timer to “never”.
Scrobbling is currently supported in the Spotify apps for Android and iOS devices.
Spotify has done its best to make sure Spotify Mobile works according to the standards that are available on the market. However, some headsets, docking stations and other accessories might not work correctly with Spotify. Some of these are designed to only work with the device’s built in player. For some docking stations updating the firmware can help when playing music from Spotify while docked.
User have reported this problem when connected via Wifi, usually when at work. Error 117 is an access point restriction/firewall indication which indicates that Spotify can’t connect on the current wifi setup. If you get Error 117 please try:
- another WiFi network without restrictions or
- Connect over 3G with your iPhone (ensure that you have a flat rate data plan)
Uninstall Spotify under ‘Settings’ -> ‘Applications’ in the phone menu and then download and install it again from the Android Market.
If you find that you cannot mark playlists as “Available offline”, restarting your device/computer will allow you to authorise it for offline synchronisation again.
We recommend the following handsets:
However, Spotify should work very well on any Windows Mobile 6.x phone as long as the screen resolution is 800x480. You can search for your phone on www.gsmarena.com to find out which screen resolution your specific phone has.
We are always working to improve Spotify and extend support for more models, with other screen resolutions than 800x480. However, we haven’t got any news at the moment. Keep an eye on the Spotify blog for updates.
Spotify will start building the app for Windows Phone 7, but we have no news at the moment as to when it will be available.

If you’re using one of the following mobile platforms, you’re in luck:
Please note: Palm apps, including Spotify Mobile, are only available in the UK, Spain and France.
No, three is the maximum. If you try to register a fourth, an existing device will be lost to accommodate it.
So, if you receive a message saying “you have logged into more then three devices and you will now be logged out” you need to re-authorize that device. Simply restart your device/computer and re-launch Spotify - you should be good to go.
First, make sure that you’re connected to a functioning WiFi and that you’ve connected your device to a power supply.
If this doesn’t help, please try to reinstall Spotify. You could also try the following settings on your router:
To reinstall Spotify, please:
Since a Spotify user can login to their account from any computer or device (”installation”), the service is programmed to only allow play from on installation at a time. When Spotify is played from another installation, play will be paused on the current installation. It can be started again simply by pressing the Play button.
If you receive the message, “Spotify has been paused because your account is used somewhere else”, it is possible that you have logged into your account on another installation, with the “Remember me” box selected, and have not logged out. In this case, another person with access to the computer can use the installation logged into your account.
Our apologies. This may have been a false detection caused by a bug…
We have received occasional reports of the “Spotify has been paused..” message appearing in cases where the user is absolutely certain that they have not logged into their Spotify account on another computer, and where it is highly unlikely that their password has been comprimised. It is possible that a rare system bug will create such false reports. In this case, you should be able to start play again, as usual, and should not suffer any more than one or two more pauses over a short period.
We apologise for this inconvenience, and will work to try to prevent this from happening. Please contact us again if you find that the pausing behaviour is more persistent than described above.
If you do suspect..
However, if you believe that this not caused by a bug in our system, and that someone else is actually using your account on another computer, the first step to take is to change your password. You can do this on your account profile page on the Spotify website. If you have forgotten your password, you can request a password reset token.
However, resetting your password will not exclude the user logged on with the other computer until they logout. If they do not logout, they will be forced to login again the next time we roll out an upgrade to the Spotify application. Currently, we do this every 2-3 weeks.
Some Android phones have both internal storage and an SD card slot. In order for Spotify to use the SD card for storage of offline playlists, you will need to manually specify which folder you want it to use. Please keep in mind that your offline playlists will need to be re-synced after doing this:
Finding the exact path to your SD card can be done with a file manager, and can differ between phones. On the Samsung Galaxy S, for example, you should use:
/mnt/sdcard/external_sd
Spotify will then store tracks in this folder:
/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/Android/Data/com.spotify.mobile.android.ui
Applies to: Android, iPhone (and other iOS devices)
First, make sure that you have Spotify running on your phone. If your phone is still not appearing please make sure that you are logged in to Spotify with the same username on your phone as on your computer, and that you are connected to the same wifi network, without using a cable. Then restart the Spotify app on your phone.
Note: It is common for the phone to disconnect from the wifi after a couple of minutes in sleep mode. This may cause it to disappear from the Devices list in Spotify. It should re-appear in the Devices list again if you wake the device up from sleep mode.

It will if you ask it to. When you installed Spotify, it chose to save offline data in the location with the most available space. To make sure Spotify uses your memory card, just do this:
Then restart Spotify. It will now choose the location with most space available i.e. your memory card.

The Spotify app icon on your device first shows a message “Cleaning..”. After that, playlists that had been available offline are unexpectedly desynced.
Even though playlists have not been made available offline on more than 3 devices, the Spotify application shows this message:
“You have offline playlists on more than three devices. To use offline playlists on this device please quit and restart Spotify.”
