Spotify, as a cross-platform application, is not without its errors. The program in question has a system that throws an error code (Error code in English) when a problem arises with the platform. Most of these errors are usually related to our equipment. For many others, the problem comes directly from the Spotify servers. On this occasion, we have compiled a list with all the Spotify error codes to give them a solution.
INTERNAL EXCEPTION ERROR: SOLUTION
Spotify installation corrupted. We will have to completely uninstall Spotify from the system and download the latest version to install the program as cleanly as possible. We can use the offline installer to ensure the installation is done correctly.
- Download full installer
ERROR CODE 0 ON SPOTIFY: SOLUTION
It usually comes from a connection problem with the Spotify servers. There is usually a solution by reinstalling the program on Windows and Mac, although, from tuexperto.com, we recommend following the @SpotifyStatus account on Twitter to find out the service status.
ERROR CODE 2 AUTH ON SPOTIFY: SOLUTION
It is usually related to the application login. Changing or resetting the password through the Spotify website is recommended to solve the error. It is also fixed by using an email address instead of a username to access the application or vice versa.
ERROR CODE 3 AUTH ON SPOTIFY: SOLUTION
Error very similar to the previous one. A solution usually uses an email address to access it or vice versa.
ERROR CODE 4 ON SPOTIFY: SOLUTION
Network error or very low signal. Changing to a stronger network or restarting the router to fix connection errors is recommended. We can also try to connect to the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz networks if we are connected to the 2.4 GHz network.
ERROR CODE -7 ON SPOTIFY: SOLUTION
The Windows or Mac firewall blocks incoming connections. Normally it is solved by granting permissions to the Spotify application in the corresponding section of Security and Privacy. To delete the cache on Mac, we can use the following command in the system Terminal:
- Sudo dscacheutil -flush cache
If we want to reset the DNS addresses of Spotify in Windows, we will have to go to the following address:
- C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
We will open the host file inside the etc. folder and remove the line of code that mentions the spotify.com address.
ERROR CODE 8 ON SPOTIFY: SOLUTION
Problems derived from the browser cache and registered DNS addresses. It is solved by deleting the cache of the main browser and deleting the DNS addresses registered in Windows and Mac through the Networks and Connections section.
ERROR CODE 15 AUTH: SOLUTION
The problem is derived from the Mac and Windows firewall. It can also be derived from an antivirus installed on the computer or from Windows Defender, the native antivirus of Windows 7, 8, and 10. In both cases, we must disable cloud and real-time protection.
ERROR CODE 17 ON SPOTIFY: SOLUTION
Same problem as error -7. Clearing the system’s DNS addresses and the browser’s cache usually has a solution.
ERROR CODE 24 ON SPOTIFY: SOLUTION
It usually occurs when Spotify is updated or installed through the app’s web installer. It has a solution using the Spotify offline installer, which we can download through the following link:
- Download full installer
ERROR CODE 30 ON SPOTIFY: SOLUTION
Same error as error -7. Removing the DNS addresses along with the browser cache fixes it.
ERROR CODE 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, AND 57 ON SPOTIFY: SOLUTION
All the errors preceded by a five are usually related to the Spotify downloader or some update of the program in Windows. Again, the solution is downloading the full application version through the offline installer.
- Download full installer
ERROR CODE 101 TO 126: SOLUTION
Windows and Mac firewall permissions usually cause all errors between 101 and 126. It can be solved by adding the Spotify application to the list of trusted devices in the Security and Privacy section of the system.
ERROR CODE 406, 407, 408, AND 409: SOLUTION
It usually arises when we access Spotify from a different country than the country selected in the Spotify registration. The solution is to change the country of origin on the Spotify website to the country from which we access the application.
It can also appear when a third-party app that requires access to Spotify only uses a feature in Spotify Premium. Changing our subscription to the paid version of Spotify is solved.
ERROR CODE 410 ON SPOTIFY: SOLUTION
This internal Spotify issue often prevents access from a registered account. Some users have reported that there is a solution by changing the password several times in a row or by accessing from a Facebook profile.
The problem may come from the monthly fee payments if we have Spotify Premium. The solution is to change the payment method or update the method entered (credit card, PayPal account, bank account…).
ERROR CODE 603 ON SPOTIFY: SOLUTION
It is usually related to the Spotify family subscription when accessing through one of the registered accounts. The platform itself recommends contacting customer service directly to solve the error. We can do it through the following link:
