Hundreds of disgruntled Spotify users have taken to social media to complain about issues with the streaming service, which is currently suffering an outage.

Spotify hasn’t confirmed what is causing the issues, however, it seems to be preventing subscribers from streaming music and podcasts on their desktop PCs.

At its peak, DownDetector was tracking 592 complaints about the issues impacting Spotify every minute.
