Unquestionable, Spotify is the king of music streaming services, but this doesn’t mean it is free from all problems. Given its huge user base, the number of devices it supports, the music catalog it offers, it shouldn’t be surprising to know that it too has issues.
Some of those glitches like:
- Spotify responds slowly when you attempt to navigate through songs or stream files.
- Spotify Freezes
- Becomes unresponsive and others.
Note that Passion plays it a half step lower, and I'm playing it in normal tuning (which matches the original song). Includes a short mix of Who Can I Run To.

Wondering how I can relate to it?
Well, I, too, am a Spotify fan and use it more than other streaming services. Whether I am driving, working, cooking, or just enjoying my time, Spotify is always there by my side.
The app has recently started giving issues; each passing day, it is becoming slower. Not only this, it takes time to load playlists. To resolve the problem, I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. This did work but only for a while, after which the same problem. Spotify’s performance started degrading. This made one thing clear; something is wrong with the app.
So, to resolve the problem, I started looking for solutions. This was when I came across a post that mentioned Spotify slows down because of old cache files. Their ways to clean cache manually were also given, but they were complicated.
Additional Tip
Over time, as we use the app cache files grow, they slow the app instead of helping load things faster. Hence, it is important to remove the old cache.
So, in the hope of finding a more straightforward solution, I again did some digging and found a fantastic tool that helps clean cache and system junk. It not only helped with the Spotify problem but also assisted in cleaning Mac, removing duplicates, finding, and removing large files, iTunes downloads, Emptying Trash, and a lot more.
This fantastic and best Mac cleanup tool is called Disk Clean Pro. Available on AppStore, it is a trusted product and has been the #1 app on the Mac store.

Trust me; this one is a must-try app to resolve Spotify and Disk almost full message.

Being able to slow down music without changing the pitch can be very useful during practice. You may want to hear a certain riff in a song, the timing of a certain section of a piece or just play along with a track, but slower. If you are using Minus One CDs for example, you may find the track on the CD is faster than your performance speed. The good news is there are probably various tools which allow you to slow down audio already on your computer!
There are some great iphone/ipad apps to slow down music and help you learn pieces, play along with pieces/backing tracks or transcribe music. The first is called Anytune Pro. This is a full function app that can help with practicing music or transcribing music. It is easy to use and has gained many 5* reviews on the iTunes App store (including one from me!). Click the icon to see full details.
Another useful app is called Soundpitch. The interface is very simple and you can either use music from your iTunes library or add specific pieces to the SoundPitch library when you sync. Click on the screen shot of the app, which is very quick and simple to use with the sliders, to see further information.

Moving the slowed down track or writing it to CD
Unfortunately neither Quicktime nor Windows Media Player allows you to save or export the slowed versions of your music for burning to CD or moving to another device. If you want to do so you will need a program such as The Amazing Slow downer (Mac and PC) from Roni Music or Nero for the PC.
