Spotify wants me to have a card from said county. I read that you can use PayPal, but they want a phone number from that country.

Any advice?

Edit: I’m aware that there are a lot of solutions to get it for free. I’m aware that I can just download my music.

Currently, I’m running running navidrome for my downloaded music and x manager Spotify for myself.

My wife has an iPhone. I don’t want to download her music. But she’s paying full price for Spotify.

I also like to listen from my work desktop. I have administrative rights, but it would be really dumb to download something like this to my work machine.

In several countries, I can get Spotify for like $30 dollars a year for 2 people. This price would be worth moving to legal. Especially for her, since she’s paying $11 right now

      My friend, we are in a piracy community what else would we do here if it is not… Share knowledge.

      Yeah, this is my current solution. I was hoping I could do cheap enough to just get legal

        IDK why’d you even bother with legal, it’s easy enough to rip mp3s out of any youtube video.

        these are in my ~/.zshrc:

        # download any video as mp3
# if video is chaptered, split each chapter into separate song files
alias yt-mp3='yt-dlp --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --split-chapters --no-check-certificate'
