Issue summary

LG ended Spotify music streaming on a specified group of Wireless Multi-room Audio and Music Flow soundbars and speakers on 31 March 2026. LG says the termination followed the partner company's discontinuation of the legacy Spotify SDK used by these products.

This is an officially confirmed service-compatibility loss, not an allegation that all playback functions on the affected products have stopped.

Impact on owners and buying decisions

Spotify streaming is no longer available through the listed products even if an older manual or LG product description says it is supported. This is a material limitation for buyers considering used Music Flow hardware specifically for Spotify.

The official notice does not say that unrelated inputs or other playback methods were removed. Buyers should verify the remaining inputs and services on the exact model before purchase.

Trigger conditions

The limitation applies to the exact models above after the 31 March 2026 service end date. No individual account or hardware failure is required.

Reports and independent sources

• Reports: 1 official manufacturer notice
• Independent sources: 1 official source
• Failure rate: Unknown and not applicable; this is a confirmed service withdrawal

Workarounds

LG's notice does not provide an official replacement method for Spotify. Other inputs and services may vary by model; owners should consult the manual for the exact product and should not assume that a particular alternative is supported.

Manufacturer response and fix status

LG published the exact affected-model list and states that Spotify will no longer be available because support for the legacy Spotify SDK ended. LG has not announced a replacement integration or restoration date.

Fix status: No fix announced. The issue remains open-confirmed because the service loss is official and ongoing.

Facts, inference and unknowns

Confirmed facts: The 27 March notice date, 31 March service end date, affected-model list and stated SDK reason come from LG.

Reasonable purchasing inference: Used buyers should not assign value to Spotify capability on these exact models, even when legacy manuals or listings advertise it.

Unknown: LG does not state how many units remain in use, whether every region was affected at the same moment or whether any replacement Spotify path will be offered.
