I mean fair enough, i use this version of Spotify and don’t pay them a single cent: https://bestforandroid.com/apk/spotify-premium-mod-apk/

But if I was a paying customer i would be pretty pissed opening Spotify the first time on my 3 week travels and seeing this crap :⁠-⁠O Funnily there isn’t even an option to change the location as suggested. Neither in the modded app nor on spotify.com on FF mobile.

    I love all the people here on the piracy community who are paying users of spotify. Almost like piracy isnt an issue if the alternative is more convenient. Funny that huh.

      Funny enough I just ditched Spotify premium since their apps for every platform I use are far and away the buggiest apps I’d been using regularly, including open source apps. I started using InnerTune instead to get free unlimited streaming on mobile and the funniest thing is, the app works better than Spotify. Bigger library too since it pulls music from YT. Quality probably suffers but IDK, willing to make that trade for no subscription fee

      Its insane to promote paying services over pirating like this in a piracy forum. Kids what went wrong? Why are you like this?

        Why do I get the feeling you might be younger than the average age here? Maybe missing an /s?

        OP clearly states in the post they are using a modified APK to get premium access without paying

    Use a different client, or the web player then. This is a settings issue and attempt of them to combat IP switches and account sharing. You’re not a paying customer, and I’ve not had this issue on a paid account before.

    Honestly, Spotify kinda sucks anyway. Use something else.

      Agreed that Spotify kinda sucks. That is why i am using it the first time towards the end of a 3W trip :-D

      With the modded apk and a 10min mail account it is worth the storage on my phone.

    Others have mentioned other clients, but I’m going to suggest a different, less convenient route. Would you still have that problem if you routed your phone’s traffic through an exit node in your home network?

    Nope. This was the reason I gave up on premium; my means of payment was registered in my old country and I wasn’t allowed to change it.

    Spytify

    It records Spotify music real time, at the highest available bit rate (as long as you set it). Uses Spotify API to pull track metadata and album art. Its smart enough to not records ads and auto deletes tracks under 30 seconds (I think you can change the time)

    It’s slower than YouTube DL, but having all the metadata sorted out for you is a big plus.

    Its probably about 98% error free, sometimes a second of a song ending gets put on the next track. A quick cut/paste in Audacity and it’s fixed.

    It works best if you have a separate audio device, otherwise other computer sound gets recorded too. I’m not going to do a full tutorial (unless someone asks), but basically you set the audio for Spotify on audio device #2, and continue as normal on audio device #1. It has a loopback feature too, so if you want to listen/record the same time you can.

    I’m a paying customer and I’ve never had this problem.

    Only supports the apartment you’re registered in, and only if you gave all the permissions to the goverment app, and stored your biometrics and agreed to everything just to be first in the line for the chip implant
