Yeah, for some reason, after the newest UI update, changing the volume from another device is broken… AGAIN. Good thing I use spotify like that only 90% of the time.

I sure do love using services I pay for…

    You might want to know that old spotify versions work perfectly.

    Up until I switched to tidal 4 months ago, I was using a version of spotify from August 2023 to avoid all the “tiktokerry” that appeared everywhere. I tested many versions, and the point where the app stops working seems to be somewhere in 2017

      Is there a way to install previous versions that doesn’t involve binary packages from ominous websites?

        Mobilism is about as good as it gets afaik. Just use the same method as torrenting by only downloading from uploaders with a consistent history of good uploads.

        Spotify is pretty ominous on its own tbh, with its emotional surveillance and motion tracking now being implemented to sell to 3rd parties. I now get targeted with White Claw advertisements after putting on a sad playlist.

            Yes. It’s very easy to turn “”“anonymized”“” location data into something directly tied to an identity using the accelerometer.

            Unless they meant tracking of interactions within the app.

      My several month old patched apk still works perfectly.
