Understand the earlier point made at me. Yes, I can tell the difference - I have a decent set-up and anything streamed at 128kbps is usually clipped down to 16khz. Doing online hearing tests, i can hear 17khz no problem and just about detect 18. Decent mp3 rips and Flac are usually 20 to 22khz (I think max for CD), so you get that 'breathing space' for your ears. 16 khz instantly sounds clipped and compressed to my ears - just not nice - and that's how Spotify has sounded for months now with previous 'extreme' releases on here.

I was simply asking a direct question, as uninstalling and setting up again is a bit of a pain and was of the assumption that just like the 'downloading for offline use' function being un-moddable (because it's server side), the Extreme stream change made by spotify would also be un-moddable for the same reason. Was just hoping for a quick conformation this is not the case. Thanks for the links and feedback anyway.

He also has an updater for this - https://github.com/spotify-dogfood/upda ... elease.apk Thank you for all your work Rabbit!

Should I post a thread for that too?? (Updater)

Uninstalled older version. After I installed this one, I just get a black screen when I try to open it.

Have to go back to older version.

Can anyone please confirm this is indeed an extreme sound modded release? I've a Balatan version from a couple of weeks back and it's running fine at the moment (used his spoti releases for over a year now- not sure if it's MrDude doing the modding?) so would only update again to Extreme back. I had read on here that Spotify changed the server side streaming to 128kbps to all none prem accounts, whereby they check the premium status of your account, if it fails as not being premium, the stream drops to 128kbps and the mod makes no difference to that (the extreme setting is just cosmetic). I can certainly vouch this has been the case, as at some point since before summer, spotify has been sounding like clipped/internet radio quality even with extreme enabled, whereas for a long time extreme gave you near cd quality. Has this mod therefore bypassed their serverside change and it's now back to true extreme sound quality again?
Thanks for your efforts.

* also don't understand what The_Killer is referring to. The checksums verify as it being the same apk. The filename only differs in that the open and closed parenthesis are displayed as their Html code on the second check - the name is otherwise identical?

because the origin maker said in his post on XDA "DO NOT Re-uplod them(his apk)", and yet people reupload it anyway.

Has anyone tried this in Canada? I'm wondering if it just works normally or whether I'd need to login via VPN periodically.

Can i ask a noob question. How do you log in to it? I know, a noob.

It should be the first screen that you see. If not, maybe it's carrying forward your login from a previous installation (clear data for the application should give you a clean start).

Hmm...Great

The first screen you'll see after launching the app should be the login screen.

If you are unable to login, use a VPN and you are good to go.

Thanks for the replies.

Thanks, I had indeed been thinking that the streaming quality had taken a turn for the worse, hehe...let's try this version !

The first mod with actual extreme quality!! Thank you!

I've been comparing with the setting on/off and can't really hear any difference, can you ? It's good in both cases, is HQ maybe forced by default ?

You need to have a good quality sound system and speakers to appreciate the difference.
If you listen to it with earbuds on the street, no one will hear difference
