MMO P&S Spotify bot shows an error when playing — Spotify isn’t able to play this at the moment.

I made a Python script with Playwright that logs into a Spotify account, does some random human-like things (like checking out other artists), then opens a playlist and presses play. But right after, it jumps fast to the second song and shows a message: “Spotify Can’t Play This Right Now.” What might be causing this? The computer I used doesn’t have a sound device connected — could that be why? I’m planning to try it on another computer in a few hours. Has anyone seen this problem before? How did you fix it? Thanks a lot for your help!

I tested it on a different computer where all the sound devices were fine, and it worked. But sometimes I still get an error saying, "Spotify can’t play this right now." Even then, the timer keeps counting.

Did you try switching the proxies you’re using?

I didn’t use any proxy. I just used my main computer.

Spotify is kind of tricky. It’s not as simple as it looks.

I can follow all the steps and listen to songs, but Spotify skips a lot of tracks because of the "Spotify can’t play this right now" problem.

After I upgraded to premium, I closed the browser for a little bit and it fixed itself without any error popping up.

don’t think this has anything to do with Spotify noticing you or anything like that. I’ve had the same thing happen on some browser setups, even just using it normally. You could try clearing out the browser settings, cookies, and cache, or maybe test it on a different browser or even another operating system.

I use a tool to automate Spotify and haven’t run into that problem at all.

I’ve made something like this before for Spotify, YouTube Music, and other music sites, and it worked fine even on super low-power computers. So it’s probably not a hardware problem.

That “Spotify can’t play this right now” message usually pops up when there’s an ad between songs during automation.

I think your code might not be set up to deal with those ads that play between tracks.

Maybe it’s skipping songs because there’s no sound device connected. Some apps won’t play right unless they have something to send the sound to. Let me know what happens when you try it on the other computer!
