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.
Streaming service companies take note
Streaming service company later: Scratch that...
No greedy executives want to squeeze out eveey last penny.
You missed a comma
No, greedy executives want to squeeze out eveey last penny.
Wouldn't want you to look like you were defending greedy executives
They were already trying to ruin it with Tidal exclusive albums
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.
Spotify sucks? What are some good alternatives that have a similar amount of content and suggestions?
Spotify has radically changed it's official clients to be full of suggestions, ads, and pointless info I don't care about. Add in all the service restrictions, and it's just a crappy service and user-experience. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
True, thats why I use modded apps. I've also tried spotify downloaders but none of them have over 90% succes rate, o until then its modded apps for me.
Deezer for one. Doesn't have quite the same amount of music, but I don't seem to have the issue with travel considering I am literally away for half the year.
Many others though.

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.
Yeah, there are modded clients out there that remove the crap, and dozens of other unofficial clients as well. You have options.
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?
Tailscale ftwwwww
Why add the third party? Just run an instance of wireguard on your home network and call it a day.
Because Tailscale uses Wireguard, but doesn’t rely on my inept ass to know what I’m doing.
Fair, lol.
Because that's physically impossible for tons of people. CGNATs are very common.
Well nothing is impossible, but it does complicate things very much. Certainly outside "just run a container and call it a day" territory.
I'm a paying customer and I don't have this problem.
Considering that i have a free account registered to a 10 min mail and paying customers don't seem to have that problem... It might be some kind of protection against manipulating the charts aswell.
You're also using a modified client. Hmm...
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.
I've never had this come up and travel abroad a fair bit. Though now that I think about it I always use it through a VPN set to my home country lol
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.

Pirated product doesn't work exactly as paid product

What was the point of this post? 🙄
Don't get me wrong. I don't mind piracy and fuck Spotify, but come on...
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
I didn't know about this apk. Gonna check this out thanks for putting it on my radar
That's how Spotify has been working for years. Spotify doesn't work officially in my current whereabouts, so, in order to use it I just registered an account via vpn and now I just need to log in into spotify using vpn once in two weeks. It has been working this way a few years for me already.
