Dear musiclovers,
I go to China at septebre 12th. I am there till Februari 2013.
Is it possible to enjoy my spotify music there?
Is it possible to have the same options and music as when i'm here in the Netherlands?
I hope you can help me.
So long as you're on a paying account and keep the subscription up, you're free to use Spotify abroad for as long as you like.
The only trouble might be getting a stable connection through. We've had some users face some difficulty getting through to us from that part of the world..
Thank you!
I'm getting a paying account and keep the subscription up, I hope it will work.
Hi Joelkoolen,
I'm in China at the moment (Foshan), I have the Spotify Premium account and works fine. I also have VPN where i can log onto FB etc. Some of the bars/pubs here have Spotify on their computer, and i've played my songs on there. However, i really don't know how they managed to download the program because it's not available here yet. Anyway, have a safe trip next year!
Hey!
Does it work? I will be in China from September 2013 until March 2014...
Thanks!

Hey! Welcome to the community 🙂
If you subscribe to unlimited (for desktop access) or premium (for desktop and mobile access) before you leave, and continue to pay for your subscription from your home country, you can use Spotify anywhere in the world for an unlimited period.

what if i have a spotify free account will it still work on china?
Hi everybody!
i'm also in china, shangdon province, my account is premium, but i've tons of connection problem from every access point i tried: lan, wireless, 3g, work, hotel, cafes; none of them seem to be decently working. Are you sure that Spotify is completely free here?!?
Hi.
A little different problem for me, Im living in china, not in vacation, since 2 years. I had premium since 3 years ... but i had to stop for a while here. I still want to use Spotify in the free version ... Im willing to change my living locationn to set it up to china but china is not an available options ... there is a way ?
You need to subscribe with a payment card issued in a country where spotify is available and, initially, use a VPN to that country to resubscribe.
Yes, I agree that the best way of using Spotify in China is by using a VPN.
However, not all VPNs work in China. Here's a list of VPNs that are not blocked in China:
Thanks, that is help. I am going to China too and I worry about I cannot access my music anymore in here.
Hello there I know this thread is a little bit older, but I have a question. Is it still possible to get Spotify in China now in 2017 since using a vpn isn't possible anymore. I plan to stay in China for seven months. Any ideas?
