Spotify on Android

Now available in Anytune on Android

Anytune is now on Google Play. 

Anytune can play most Spotify songs with some limitations.
You will be able to apply time-stretching (adjust the tempo), set marks and loop sections.
The waveform will not be accurate; pitch-shifting and analysis are not available.
Some functions will be disabled.

Spotify support is in development and subject to change.

You must have Spotify Premium to play Spotify songs in Anytune. 

Songs streamed through Spotify are DRM-protected, limiting Anytune's functionality. We are working to increase capabilities with streamed music. To access the full power of Anytune, please use audio files that are not DRM protected and stored physically on your device. 

Songs ripped from a CD or purchased through iTunes,  Amazon,  Google, etc. are not protected. Move these files to your Android device and they will be available to Anytune. 

You can disable and hide the Spotify tab in Anytune Settings.

Having trouble playing Spotify songs?  

There are some situations where Spotify can get out of sync and stop working. 

Battery Saver / Energy Saving (very common)

On Android devices, Battery Saver or Energy Saving modes can restrict background network access and interrupt Spotify playback inside Anytune, even when your internet connection appears to be working normally.

If Spotify songs stop after a short time (for example after 1–2 minutes), please check:

• Turn Battery Saver / Energy Saving OFF
• Allow Background Data for Anytune
• Set Anytune battery usage to Unrestricted (disable battery optimization)

If you see "Failed to Load Song", "Spotify load failure 'track load timed out'", it may be a network or Spotify server issue. 

Network connectivity can affect Spotify's operation. Ensure you have a good network connection.
Verify the song plays in the Spotify app on the same device. 

Spotify servers can be overloaded for short periods of time.

There may also be a bug. Your help identifying bugs and offering suggestions is appreciated. If you encounter problems playing Spotify songs please report them to us.

You may see an error notification message when a song plays, or be offered to "Try again" if the song did not play. Trying again will usually succeed.

Anytune currently supports basic Spotify Connect capabilities. You cannot control play/pause a song in Anytune from another remote Spotify instance (i.e. web version on PC). 

If Anytune starts behaving strangely, becomes unresponsive, or cannot play a song:

1. Play a different Spotify song first, to reconnect
2. Restart Anytune  (Example: Tap ◾️ and swipe Anytune up to stop)
3. Sign out and back in to Spotify within Anytune
4. Restart your device

If Spotify believes you are not a Spotify Premium user you may need to:

1. Sign out of Spotify everywhere including on Anytune and the Spotify app
2. Restart your device

If you repeatedly receive 403 errors trying to play Spotify songs:

1. Sign into your Spotify account in a browser,  go to Apps, and revoke access for Spotify for Anytune. 
   
2. Restart Anytune.

Having trouble with Spotify login?

Anytune uses Spotify’s recommended secure login method, which opens the login screen in your default browser or the Spotify app (not Android System WebView).

First, confirm the Spotify Web Player works on your device.

• Can you open https://open.spotify.com/?

Clear any issues with bad tokens:

1. Open Chrome (or your browser) and log in to accounts.spotify.com
2. Go to Apps and revoke access for Spotify for Anytune
3. Log out
4. Restart Anytune
5. Try to log in to Spotify in Anytune

If you have trouble logging in:

1. Allow Anytune to open the login page in your browser when prompted.
2. Restart your device. 
   If the browser is not available to Anytune, a restart can resolve this issue.
3. Make sure you have a browser supporting Custom Tabs (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Samsung Internet) installed, enabled and updated via Google Play Store.
   • Open the Google Play Store > search for your default browser > update it to the latest version
   • Go to Settings > Apps and confirm that a supported browser is installed and not disabled
4. If you have the Spotify app installed, ensure it is updated; Anytune may open the Spotify app directly for login.

Note: Android System WebView is no longer used for Spotify login, so clearing its cache will not resolve login issues.
