Spotify premium



Not sure if this is the right place to post this so sorry if its not. Does anyone know how to get Spotify premium for free, specifically the ability to save songs for offline. I know about the xposed module which allows unlimited skips and all that stuff but was wondering if I could save songs to offline. Thanks for the help.

Spotify Connecticut without premium?



A few weeks ago, seemingly without any reason, Spotify Connect started working on my rooted Oneplus One running stock COS 12.1. I have the normal Spotify app from the Play Store installed. I had previously installed an Xposed module which enables tablet mode in the app on a smartphone, but have since reinstalled my OS, wiping all installed apps. I have not reinstalled the Xposed module since, but tablet mode continued to be enabled on the reinstalled Spotify app. Then, as stated in the beginning, Connect suddenly started working as well. I can now remotely control other devices logged in to the same Spotify account, while the reverse is not the case, since I don't have an active premium subscription. A second smartphone, which received a similar treatment from me, does not have that capability.

So my question is, is there any known way to reliably get Spotify Connect to work on non-premium accounts using the apk directly from the play store? I would like to have this on other devices as well.

[Guide] How to get Spotify premium-features on phone without Xposed or Premium



I have searched this forum and google but haven't found anyone post it yet (even though I'm sure some people have found it out by themselves).

So, I came by it by accident when I tried to unlock unlimited skips and choosing songs on free Spotify on my Z1C but Lollipop had problems with Xposed Framework back then.

It requires rooted device which is almost only significant requirement. Second minor requirement is that you need app that can change screen resolution/DPI - I have used Resolution Changer for that matter and haven't tested others but I don't see why they would work any differently.

So, I installed Spotify, then I opened Resolution Changer. I put my resolution to 4K (yup!) - I haven't tested by how much you need to raise resolution but 4K worked for me perfectly - and then I start Spotify. After logging in (if you wasn't before) Spotify works just as it does on tablet. But this thing is not usable with that high resolution, right? Damn right it isn't. But after running Spotify with 4K resolution, I can switch back to normal resolution, then restart and Spotify still runs in tablet mode. I have been using it for months like this and it never reverted back to phone mode.

Summary:
Install Spotify on your rooted device (Z1 Compact for now)
Install Resolution Changer
Increase screen resolution by fair amount (e.g. 3840x2160)
Run Spotify and verify it is in Tablet Mode
Revert screen resolution back to normal or whatever you may want
Restart phone to fix bugs that may appear in GUI from changing resolution
Verify Spotify still runs in Tablet Mode


That is it!

Note! I only tried it on Z1C but it may work on any Xperia or even any other phone for that matter. But because I haven't tried it, I post it here, into Z1 Compact sub-forum. If it does however has been posted before then please, let me know and this thread should be removed.

Another note! It does not change Spotify app layout in any way - app will continue to work as it is on any phone, just with added features of unlimited skips and choosing your own songs to play!
