In 2019, Spotify accused Apple of anticompetitive behavior in a complaint filed in the EU. A post on Spotify's community website advocating for native HomePod support has over 5,800 votes in favor of the idea since it was submitted in 2020, but Spotify has refused to budge despite Apple making the necessary APIs available. As a result, Spotify cannot be controlled with Siri on the HomePod.īloomberg's Mark Gurman touched on the matter in his newsletter this weekend, noting that Spotify told him there hasn't been a 'significant volume' of complaints about the lack of HomePod support. To give you an idea of the issues of speed, I could barely scrol through a small playlist without the music stuttering.Spotify has yet to implement native support for the HomePod and HomePod mini, despite Apple opening up the speakers to third-party streaming music services in 2020. So i re-installed the desktop app and everything went back to its slow self. I managed get spotify uninstalled (fully uninstalled, all the hidden folders and everything) and restarted my computer again and the speed issues semmed to be gone. The only way for it to fully close was to hold down the power button on my laptop. I tried closing spotify but then it just got stuck closing, so much so that even the force quit option would not close it. Since the last big update I have bee having problems where na matter if you uncheck the auto open box in settings spotify still is open all the time, if you close it it just reopens.
