If you don’t have a Spotify subscription, the app has certain restrictions, limits song-skips and plays advertisements.
If you use your account on the webpage, those restrictions don’t apply.

Thanks for the tip! This is a great workaround for non-premium users.
Wait, seriously? You mean I’ve been suffering on the mobile app for no reason?
Also, what’s stopping me from just using Spotify on my mobile browser o_o
I’ve been curious of using it in Brave browser, but they say the app has better sound quality so Idk
And if you use Brave, no ads either. *SHHHH*
Or you can use revanced to patch Spotify or YT music. Not only do you get all premium features like adless and skips unlocked in the app , you also get new features, like oled black ui
I just tried this and was limited to 6 skips this hour, and blocked from viewing playlists etc. Am I missing something?
Except this isn’t true
I just use Edge (not sure with other chromium-based browsers though) + uBlock Origin extension. It bypasses ads + unlimited song skips.
i have mixed feelings about this. sure it sounds nice, but if everyone exploits loopholes like this, services like spotify will start cracking down harder. not sure how i feel about this kind of work-around when some folks just want an honest listening experience that also supports artists. i feel like it’d just lead to more restrictions or even worse ad experiences in the future. gotta think about the bigger picture too, y’know?
Add ublock origin to you ur browser. Voila! You get ad free Spotify for free
Mine still played advertisements on PC. All the other stuff was true for me though
You just need an adblcoker and firefox (any other browsers where adblocker still works).
Will it work the same on Tesla browser for those without premium connectivity? (Using mobile hotspot for data)
Fuck yeah! I use Spotify web to play 9 hour audiobooks(home kids,look it up) while im at home to drown out my crackhead mooch neighbor noises. I combine with an active tab playing skipvid running YouTube videos of rainfall on loop.

same goes for youtube music, but i think you do need an ad blocker
I just use SpotX
Thank God I have an android and thank God for the revanced team that have unlocked the premium versions of YouTube, Spotify, etc and offer it for free.
Spotify web plus adblocker is the best. Also there is a website that lets you download songs from spotify (just search “spotify down”)
Yup. Also makes it easier to share/stream to your friends that don’t pay for premium.
Whenever I’m gaming with the homies, sometimes we like to listen to music. I used to pull up the spotify app on windows and stream it to discord (we can’t do a listening party, as some of them don’t have premium). Well, lately, doing that will pause the playback. I don’t know if it’s a stingy corporate thing or what, but it’s really annoying.
However! I have discovered that streaming a tab in a browser that just happens to have my spotify loaded does not have this problem.
Can I also turn it into a PWA?
Similar thing for my A/V receiver for Pandora back when it was popular. Unlimited skips, but no album art or anything. It was weird but made cleaning the house more fun back in the day.
Mega pro tip: this also works for YouTube. No ads. Background playback. Picture in Picture, etc
Before I got student discount, it never worked for me, even on firefox + uBlock 💔
It works on the PC app as well. I was logged in my second account with no premium and I was able to listen like I had premium.
