Using Spotify without being spied on by using Cyanogenmod

[User2232334]

If you are running Cyanogenmod on your phone, you can install Spotify and block specific access rights, such as Spotify wanting to look at your private pictures.

Its actually not too hard to install these days either, and the added layer of privacy is very much worth it.

It's even easier to install an app from a better streaming music service.

I was thinking of sandboxing spotify as well, but just discovered an alternative music service that specifically says it won't give your information to others in their ToS.

What is this other music service?

[User2232334]

There is a lot of apps that have more songs. For example Deezer. But their privacy policy is also allowing them to look at your pictures and contacts. Im still looking around to see whats out there.

Amazon music is what I'm turning to first (I have prime) but will at blocking Spotify functions first.

I have read their privacy policy and it says nothing about that. On the contrary, it states that it won't sell info and won't collect info not related to Deezer.

Here they are: http://www.deezer.com/legal/cgu
