Plan Premium Country Canada Device Desktop Operating System Windows 10 My Question or Issue Recently I've done a clean uninstall of Spotify because it was taking up a large amount of space on my drive and then reinstalled it. Since then, I've been getting low frame rates with the Spotify App. Denied - Skip Terrible Music. Denied saves your ears from Nickelback or any other band, song or album. Denied for Mac sees what you're playing in Spotify and automatically skips songs that you dislike. Spotify should make it easier to find songs, they should suggest songs, improve the freaking cell phone app already. The cell phone app is also terrible. (I'm a computer major, I should know) They haven't. Download this app from Microsoft Store for Windows 10. See screenshots, read the latest customer reviews, and compare ratings for Spotify Music. Spotify is by far the worst PC app I have used. I have been getting 'Spotify can't play this right now.' Error for a month now and I have tried everything from reinstalling the app, clearing the the temp files and even resetting my OS. The only workaround was to use the online player (the desktop app is completely unusable).
