Spotify Embedding Issue


Sometime this afternoon Spotify has changed their embedding code. The play button is now on the right and does not seem to want to play!

I have tried this in raw html with the same issue so it is not a Blogger issue. Oddly albums and playlists are not affected it only appears to be a problem with single tracks. I don't know whether this is a temporary glitch owing to their change to code or signs of things to come so will have to try and contact Spotify to find out.

In the meantime to listen to a track, click on the Spotify icon in top right hand corner of the player you will be taken to the Spotify web application and can play the track.

UPDATE: I've been on to Spotify and the issue isn't resolved yet ... however it must be an issue with Google Chrome as it works in MS Edge and Tor Browsers and Chrome Incognito Mode. So I suggest trying one of those until Spotify resolve the issue!

It only seems to be an issue with single tracks .. albums and playlists still work fine!

UPDATE 2: I have spent several hours on chat with Spotify and thus far no resolution has been found. So I am very sorry but until they fix whatever they have 'broken' by changing their embed interface I can only suggest using  Edge or Chrome in  incognito mode until the issue is rectified. Believe me I will keep on at them until it is! In the meantime I will post from YouTube wherever possible moving forward.
