Your country does not match the one set in your profile.

Solved!

Your country does not match the one set in your profile.

I am getting the message "Your country does not match the one set in your profile." even though I haven't gone anywhere from where I set my profile.

 

Any geolocators I can find online point to me being in the United States, and I am unable to change my country on the Spotify website to anything but the US.

 

I do use a VPN for other reasons, but if both me and the VPN are located in the US, this shouldn't be a problem right?

 

I only get this when using the Windows client.

 

Thanks.

Do you get the same error using the web player?: https://play.spotify.com/

Is also worth trying to sign in on another computer and see if that makes any difference.

Excellent, thank you so much.

 

The web player worked and reset my timer, so I was able to access the Windows app again.

 

Thanks again!

have you tried reinstalling the Client?

I have tried that, no luck.

have you checked under your Account settings to see if anything has changed there/

My account settings definitely have USA listed as my country.

i hv the exact problem which in HK. Then i found that the browser it poped up was logged in as my Facebook account. And you have to log out the current login then re-login as your spotify id. Hope this is the answer for you.

Thanks, but I never linked up my Facebook to Spotify, I always try to keep my social networking separate.

Hello everyone. I have the same error (using Mac). I reinstalled client but the error persists. I have tried online player but I get endless loader.

 

On my profile page (overview) my country listed is Chile but on my profile (edit country) it shows Spain. I have tried to change to Chile and to Spain to see if it makes any difference but nothing.

 

Any ideas? email for tech support from Spotify?

 

Thanks

I've created a Spotify account with my Facebook account. It says: Your country does not match the one set in your profile.

But when I try to login into the webplayer of Spotify I can't login with my Facebook account.

 

Onto my mobile device I can't login as well. I have tried to change the language in Facebook as I'm original a Dutchmen located in the UK.

My account was created in the UK, so I don't get it. What can be the problem?

 

Many thanks in advance!
