I listen to Spotify on my work computer. In the last few weeks the fan always spins up when I try to play it, and I'm constantly having to reload the window for it to play anything. Playback will stop in the middle of a song sometimes.

open.spotify.com in Firefox on Windows 10. I disabled ublock. Same issue on work network and home.

Have you tried installing the desktop app or is it not allowed on your work computer? The website is shit and the app is a bit less shit.

I didn't try the desktop app yet. Probably a losing battle on Windows but I prefer to use web apps where possible since it gives the service less access to my system.

Honestly all forms of Spotify sucks moble site doesn't let you add songs to playlists and the moble app has the same issue but with ads on top of it then desctop site ok but Spotify just doesn't have my favorite songs or covers granted that's probably due to me having very obscure tastes and I'm used to downloading off of YouTube the only reason I ever use any flavor of Spotify is because my position as a radio DJ they use Spotify and the CD player is currently broken haven't used the desktop app but the site works for my purpose tho it can quite easily be made much better with the addition of a MP3 player
