Spotify won't synchronize my playlists!

Thankyou Andres the problem is now resolved. I love Spotify.

I still have this problem... The error message says: Could not synchronize playlists. Retrying...

Hi all,

Yes I've been having the same issue for quiet a time now. I think it started around the same time as the last.fm synchronization issue

Unfortunately, can't tell you more . Like Rolly says, this is the message:
"Could not synchronize playlists. Retrying..."

On premium using 0.3.13 and my username: gabma

Keep up the great work! It can't always be perfect :)

yes, for me it does...

I have the same problem. I've tried clearing all my playlists and re-adding them. Some playlists synchronize but others do not. Very weird.

The lists do appear if I paste the Spotify URl.

Is something being done with this problem? I know that I won't pay for a service that is not 100% functionable. Don't get me wrong I just love Spotify but it would be very nice if this was fixed.

Well, when I copy and paste the list manually it works... but it still doesn't synchronize. That's the point, ritght? I still get the error message saying "Could not synchronize playlists. Retrying... "

Wow... for some reason now it works without me doing anything. Well, then I'm satisfied. Thanks for your time anyway.

I'm having this problem now but only with one of my playlists, the others work fine. Its beginning to bug me..

I am also having this problem, started using it at work, then installed at home logged in with same account and nothing, keeps saying could not find playlist and even when i paste in the URI it doesnt connect. I have also opened port 4070. Then when i got back to work it lost my playlist from yesterday, like its synchronizing with home to see no playlists, but at home it wont pull the playlist that i made at work. can you please explain what is going on?

Thanks for the reply, I did what you said and it now works, however I dont think it was because of the cache. After twice losing my work playlist (the 2nd time I was ok since I had the URI and it pulled it fine, but still not at home) I re-named the playlist to just 'Rock', it was called 'Rock/Punk', perhaps the / character in the playlist name made a difference? If there are any limitations on allowed characters perhaps the program should warn you when they are typed? Andres, do you think this is the most likely culprit to help others that may be experiencing the same problem?

I do not think special characters have anything to do with it in my case, as my two installations at work and at home have pretty much completely stopped synchronizing. If I add a playlist or edit it at work, I have to do the same thing at home.
4070 is open at home but I do not control my companies firewall policy so I am not sure about work. Is this really necessary?
How can I fix this without losing my playlists? My username is kallpilsner.

I ́m having probs synchronizing between work (xp) and home (os x). Is the difference in OS something that can be causing the problem?

Det har för fan varit nere i en vecka nu!

Spotify won't synchronize my playlists either, it says "could not synchronize playlists. Retrying..." but it never works. I don't understand why because it has worked perfectly until last week?

To make matters worse - I have had the message about not being able to synchronise playlists for a day or so and now - half my playlists have sort of dissapeared. The symbol for a playlist is there but the name of the playlist has gone and all the tracks within that playlist have simply disappeared. I spent ages creating these playlists and I will be really annoyed if they are lost forever!

I love Spotify but I just hope this can be sorted quickly!

I had a problem for about one hour ago..

Spotify (within wine) stopped playing songs and wanted to update itself instead but it was whining about the password. I entered the right password and after 2 or 3 times the client crashed. I wasn't able to start it.

I deleted all files in .wine and reinstalled both wine and spotify, just to be sure.
After a while I found the spotify-update process that had hung itself, so I killed it.

And finally, then all the components was up and running... all my playlist where Gone! (I didn't even get an error message like you above).

It's just totally gone...

I have had problems with my playlists for over a week now. Songs I remove on one location are not removed when I log on in another location. New playlists that I add or create at work, are not available when I start Spotify at home. I also often get a problem with "playlist not found" when I get links to playlists created by friends.

I am having this problem too except my playlists just dont seem to be there... One is and the others have just gone walkies... I have just started using spotify and am using it through a 3G mobile broadband stick, could this be why?

I'm also having this problem, have just finished creating a new playlist and now it will not load. Any answers please - its very frustrating after spending so much time creating it!

i'm trying to load new playlists from friends with the URL and it keeps saying 'playlist not found'. its been doing t all day.

I got the same problem. Playlists don't sync at all.

I also am having trouble with the Playlist syncing. I just got the error message.

I got this problem for now, some of my playlists are missing!

Maybe it could be possible to restore them?

Thanks All.

Even when I do not get the synchronize error I have to remove the playlist then re-add so all the songs appear, songs I have recently added, anyway. (I use Spotify across multiple computers )

I use MAC,WinXP,Vista and now iPhone everything except Playlist work very well. None of my clients can syncronize(I use the same Premium account on all machines). Also had the problem that intermittently playlists dissappeard.

I started having this problem this morning,which is even odder than all the above,as I am only relatively new onto the system and have no playlists yet!Just this yellow band across the top of the Spotify home page with flag attached saying"Could not synchronise playlists.Retrying...".Anyone have any ideas?

Hi Willliam,
I have been having this issue since last night but I haven't seen this issue with the app previously. It maybe there is a Spotify issue. Hopefully one of the company reps will be along shortly who can confirm.

I have Spotify on two different Macs and my iPhone and playlists can't be synced between any of them. It never has but it didn't become a huge problem before the release of the iPhone app. I've deleted the cache but that didn't do anything. This is really starting to get on my nerves so please help!

I have this problem aswell but you guys are pretty lucky to actually have an error message... some of my songs won't even play!!! And it's been like that for 6 hours now, what is happening? It never happened before and I've had no problems with spotify untill today. Help ASAP

HELLO ! ANYBODY OUT THERE? Not getting satisfaction here.... Am I doing something wrong? Am I forgotten?
Feel free and reset my playlists on my account jcevansson , I am assuming that I have corrupt playlists that where created on an old crashed XP machine.
Have been trying to get an answer from anybody here a while( 2 weeks on other threads also) but I will be happy if only someone can "restart" my account since I am a premium-user and would like to use my iPhone.
The popups make the app unusable.

I have had the same problem, flag permanently up. Have managed syncing to Iphone on initial set up, and it has updated once but now not syncing at all even on the phone. Got a message on the phone this morning that syncing would be tried again later.

I still have this problem even though it dissapeared from the service status.

I use spotify on two Windows XP machines, one linux (ubuntu) machine running wine and an android. None of them synchronizes correctly.

Today on one of the winxp machines I tried to uninstall spotify and remove the user/cache data and then reinstall. That resulted in no playlist being downloaded at all. Neither did any playlist get downloaded to my android phone (HTC Hero) when i installed spotify on the release day of the mobile client.

On one of the winxp machines and the linux machine i still have all my playlists but they do not synchronize anything between each other and the "Failed to sync..." message is always there. Trying to remove one playlist and add it again from the uri made that playlist synchronize for some days and then got out of sync again.

Please let me know your current status of this and if I can help you in any way.

Thank you.

Hello. I am using spotify on macbook and iphone, and have tried removing all caches etc and have reinstalled spotify. No matter what I do, I have never been able to sync my computer with my iphone, and I permanently have the "Could not synchronise playlist" flag up. I've removed all playlists, but when I start a new one, the same thing happens. I am a premium subscriber. Please help .

I too am having the same issue since the 16th of November. Some playlists on my Android are marked as 'Loading...' , after creating a new playlist on my phone it only shows up as 'Loading...' on my PC yet works fine on the phone.

Copying the spotify uri into the search bar shows 'Link not found', account name 'iaindb'

my iphone and PC stopped syncing together.. So i thought i would delete the app from the iphone and redownload it. But now i have no playlists showing my the iphone. :( im gonna be stuck without music at work tommorow.

I also have the same problem, but found out at the service status page that they are having problems with syncing playlists.
