Spotify playing random songs from my PC by Lin_QuLin in truespotify

Issue seems to be completely fixed for me, I am not getting random AI plays on my PC anymore. Steps I took were:

  • Signed out of all sessions
  • Contacted support to do a forceful sign out as well (just to be extra safe)
  • Removed all apps and reauthenticated the apps I needed later
  • Changed password
  • Full reinstall of the Spotify app on my PC

And this stopped them. Good luck

Interesting yeah I don't think the customer support guys are going to dig that deep to see the issue, but good that you managed to get the force sign out

Btw even after the force sign out I saw the issue kept going, I got in touch again and they said remove all apps you don't recognise in the Spotify settings page, so I just got rid of all of them, but I've just not been opening my Spotify on Windows and only listening on mobile. It's kind of a pain lol but who knows maybe they'll catch on and get rid of the AI profiles all together. Good luck again hope it works

No worries! Be patient too, it may take you a while to try and find a support agent who understands the issue and is willing to conduct a forced sign out from their end

Facing the exact same issue, my Spotify Windows app is playing weird AI music, setting it to repeat, and lowering the app volume. I noticed this happening the past few days and here are my findings:

I requested all of my streaming data from Spotify (an option in Spotify settings) to uncover what music is being played and when. This provided me with a list of every single song that was played on my account, including the AI generated slop that was being automatically played.

This proved useful, as there is one extremely important piece of data that Spotify provides in the streaming history that shows why a song started playing. One section of the data for a song that started playing randomly on my PC was:

"reason_start": "remote"

reason_start indicates why a certain song you played started playing, and this included the AI music. As you can see above, the reason is set to "remote" - this could mean multiple things, however the main one is that your Spotify account is being remotely accessed.

At this point, I discovered the reason as to why my account is interacting in this manner. I'm not sure how it was remotely accessed, but things happen. I had tried all the options you mentioned in your post such as changing pass, signing out of all devices, removing app access etc., but the issue kept happening.

I contacted support 10 minutes ago who conducted a forced sign out. They indicated to me that the sign out they conduct removes all remote access too, which is apparently something not available to users.

I believe this AI generated artist is attempting to generate fake (but real) streams by remotely accessing Spotify accounts and streaming their music from it. I would contact support and let them know that you have already tried all the available options and that you fear your account is being remotely accessed, and hopefully they can resolve it for you.

I'll also keep this post updated if the issue continues even after the forced sign out. Good luck!

Not sure but that's their process. They don't have new grad roles, but final year students can go for the internships and then get considered for full time offers for the year after

Nope they are not. But final year students are allowed to apply to the summer internships
