Is the audio quality really extreme?

But you won`t find any difference if you bought premium too unless you are using good headphones

Not true. 160kbps is default and it's pretty bad. Try deezer for same song and you'll notice right away.

The fact that people can notice it's actually not extreme audio quality means people can tell the difference regardless of earphone/headphone quality.

Hopefully one day, MrDude+Balatan grace us plebs with an update when Spotify gets they're shit together.

Arguably, Spotify did get their shit together and that's why we don't have any mods. If the app crashes when ads are removed, isn't that a good thing for them? They've baked the ads in at a deep enough level to defeat modders, basically.

If you say so , however I beg to differ - the app is still buggy as sh*t though, read the google play website reviews. I modded this app a few days back and it was still buggy as sh*t - hence I deleted it from my device again and deleted the files from my computer. I went back to a stable version that works great.......

@mrdude If I may ask, which stable version are you using?

Thanks again for all your work - it is truly appreciated.

Spotify.8.4.75.670-Repack.apk

Anything after v8.5.29.828 is buggy as hell, blame Spotify devs for messing up their own app.

Maybe that's buggy on purpose, so nobody mod it and they don't lose money. Just saying

Nah Spotify devs are very bad at adhering to the latest Android standards. Case in point - they don't bump their target sdk level until Google forces them in November every year. Same with 64bit arm-v8a compatibility.

Switch over to Deezer. Way better app with devs that actually care about Android. They're targeting Android 10 already, well in advance of the November 2020 deadline Google has assigned for it.

FYI - most of the time people are encountering crashing apps is because they are using ad blockers - Spotify devs coded into the app to crash the app if it tries to download an ad then can't contact the server...we have defeated this now so will probably release soon....however if we do - it's pretty important to NOT use an ad blocker that blocks anything to do with Spotify Servers, for example the app connects to an address to download Album covers - which is the same address video ads use , they did a pretty good job hiding that code as well....however....as Balatan has somewhat magical powers.....let's just say that never took long to defeat. It took less than 24hrs of us working together to beat this apps protection - and this is the first time we looked at it in about a year.

One thing is certain though - if we do decide to release, as soon as we start seeing stupid & unappreciative comments (and forum members don't reply to the offending posts), this app will be abandoned for sure, also don't expect a release every week or so - some people's 'demands' were just annoying!!!

Whitelisting Spotify in adblocker apps like adguard will be enough or a complete absence of them will be needed?

I'm sure just about everyone here would be grateful! And as usual, there are always those bad apples who complain and want the latest release, even when it has nothing new to offer to the average user. Infuriating. Be cool if you had the power to remove/moderate comments on the threads!

That being said, you and Balatan are both geniuses! Do whatever pleases you!

I had this version v8.5.29.828 in armeabi-v7a and I just installed this arm64-v8a and it works perfectly for me, thanks for your work.

Does this modded app have a problem working on Samsung phones? I installed it on a Samsung phone and it's just acting like a free account. It works fine on my leeco phone thought

Did your Samsung come with pre installed Spotify?

No
