How are you people faking location to get a better price for subscriptions? (midwest.social)

Spotify wants me to have a card from said county. I read that you can use PayPal, but they want a phone number from that country.

Any advice?

Edit: I'm aware that there are a lot of solutions to get it for free. I'm aware that I can just download my music.

Currently, I'm running running navidrome for my downloaded music and x manager Spotify for myself.

My wife has an iPhone. I don't want to download her music. But she's paying full price for Spotify.

I also like to listen from my work desktop. I have administrative rights, but it would be really dumb to download something like this to my work machine.

In several countries, I can get Spotify for like $30 dollars a year for 2 people. This price would be worth moving to legal. Especially for her, since she's paying $11 right now

Have you considered not Spotify?

Or just use the cracked versions if you have android

This is what I do. But my wife has an iPhone, and can't.

I also want it on desktop

Spotify without a paid subscription on FF desktop with uBlock Origin is pretty good. It will start playing random music after a while, but it's not enough to bother me. Just refresh and you can go back to listening to your music.

https://github.com/SpotCompiled/SpotC-Plus-Plus, preferably with SideStore
On desktop I just use my private hoard of music with Foobar2000

How does this help the original question?

[–] kratoz29@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago

Because Spotify bad duh, this is Lemmy we don't use bad things here.

[–] butter@midwest.social 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Lol. Yes.

I download most of my music, but I haven't gotten a new song in like a year and a half, so I want cheap, desktop something for the once in a while listening.

My wife has an iPhone and pays full price, this is also motivation

[–] GravitySpoiled@lemmy.ml 20 points 9 months ago

She can sell the iphone and get an android with the same specs and pay for spotify for a year and have dinner somewhere /s

Just use the free plan but download whatever you plan on listening to using any of the countless tools to do exactly that.
