3. Lower the Audio Quality
There may be users who don't know, but we have to say this is a fact that must be known when using Spotify. That is, the "Very High" level of audio quality in the Spotify app is only available to Spotify Premium users. If you haven't paid for Spotify Premium and you set the streaming quality as "Very High", you may get into trouble with the "Spotify Can't Play Current Song" error. Try to set the audio quality as a lower level like "High" or "Medium", this could help you solve the error.

4. Re-sync Spotify
If you have Premium, you can download your favorite songs, albums, playlists, and podcasts, so you can listen to them without an internet connection. But there is another key fact we should know, this is you must get online at least once every 30 days and maintain a Premium subscription to keep your music and podcasts downloaded. Otherwise, your downloaded songs can't be played, which causes the "Spotify Can't Play Current Song" error.

5. Clean Up Storage Space
Spotify requires at least 1 GB of free space for downloads. If you are a Spotify Premium user and you've downloaded tracks from Spotify, your device may have run out of space. However, you can remove the files by going to Settings > Local Files and toggling off Show Local Files. Clean up some space for Spotify and you will find the current songs can be played.

6. Check If the Song is Available in Your Country or Region
As we all know, not every track in the Spotify music library is available in all supported countries and regions. Some tracks are available in the United State, but they may not be available in other countries like the United Kingdom or Australia. Please make sure the current song you want to stream is available in the country you are living, otherwise, you would get the "Spotify Can't Play Current Song" error.

If you encounter problems or errors when streaming music, you can try to turn the Crossfade on or turn it off and see if this trick can help. To enable/disable Crossfade, you can go to Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Playback then turn on or off "Crossfade songs".
