Has Anyone tried SPOTIFY here

[blackscorpio]

Stumbled upon this thread this morning.

8PM I started both spotify and pandora; and have been alternating between the both, since.

Spotify little better quality.
Pandora, awesome music discovery.

Sam, Thanks for pointing to the HOLA plugin and for starting a great thread with lot of info.

Now, playing "Sax and the City" in spotify.

Busted. Just when I was getting into it! Anyone else getting a 'country not matching' block message on Spotify via the Hola extension on Chrome?

Use dns like unblock or smart dns. Then log in to spotify profile change the country to us and postal address. Enable hola. Then open web spotify player on your browser and log in and access your playlist. You can then log into spotify Windows app.

Even I got it couple of weeks back but unfortunately its not possible for us to pay from India with Indian CC even with international swiping facility. Its a ridiculous security check that is in place on Spotify . The country code of your user profile and the CC should be the same for you to pay and the same restriction is applied even with PayPal. So even with Unblock VPN this combination for Indian CC does not work. The offer is too good as it allows to assign a DAC in the preferences section as per online reviews. The only option is to get a US/UK CC to pay for this.

I can arrange a US CC, I can do it, but I didnt get the mail, or maybe I missed it . If it works on a coupon code, and someone is willing to share I will like to give this a try...

Sam, I think there is no coupon and all as it looks like its a celebration of getting a million customers or so. So its open for everybody and not restricted to select few

Sam, when i installed spotify, Not seen this thread, through google search found this website 5 Ways to Play Spotify in Your Living Room | My Media Experience came to know abt spotify. Proxymate is a simple addon helped to create spotify account.

ProxMate does'nt do nothing. I installed it for firefox, disable my DNS and HOLA and I got netflix isnt supported in your country. I just wonder how come its working for you. The reviews also say it does not work..... back to HOLA or my good old smartDNS

When I visited USA last month I created an Apple ID using my daughter's US credit card and downloaded Spotify on my IPad. It works flawlessly here. Interestingly the Spotify iOS ap has an option to select music quality even in the free version. There is 96kps and 160kps. 256kps is only available for the premium version. I have been listening through headphones only, but 160kps is clearly superior and detailed. I don't think the Windows version has an option to select music quality in the free version.

As per the Spotify's website/forum this way it works only for the first 14 days and then you need to use the unblock or some other way to by-pass the country specific app for accessing the same.

I think as you used your daughter's CC when creating your Spotify a/c I believe it should work and may be the CC is being charged and hence not a free account.

Can anyone help me to access the Pandora App on my Oppo 103? So far it says your country not supported.
