What do you mean? You can still stream any song with a free account. It's just that there will be ads. Additionally, in mobile apps, there will be ridiculous artificial limitations to make sure your experience is as miserable as it could possibly be.
My understanding is that the premium requirement is there to avoid having the repo taken down.
- squigz 10mo agoMy understanding, based on a related comment in this thread, was that premium accounts get higher quality; in that case, I figured any such checks would be server-side. If you were referring to a separate check in the above repo's code, my mistake.
- grishka 10mo agoHm, maybe. I don't remember whether they offer higher quality. If they do, it would make sense to have that check on the server side. It's been a while since I last used Spotify because they deleted my account in 2022 without warning when they left Russia. But I was referring specifically to all third-party reverse-engineered Spotify players requiring premium accounts to function at all.
