Hi guys,
I would like to listen to Spotify at work, so I installed the android app on my phone but the problem is that I can't get a correct internet connection as I'm working underground. I tried to use the web application on my computer but it uses Flash (eurk...) and not HTML5 but Flash is disabled by the company... so it's not an option... Now I would like to install the Desktop application but it's also difficult because I have no privileges on the computers I use.
I have two computers : a Windows 7 computer and a Linux Red Hat.
What I tried is to install Spotify on the Windows computer using the SpotifyFullSetup.exe (offline) but it failed with error 17 "Cannot start Spotify" maybe because I'm not admin. Then I tried to go Linux, but I only found a debian repository with no possibility to download an offline installer. I'm sure that there is a way to make it work but the Spotify installers are not flexible enough to be "tricked" and work in an exotic environment.
Please help me 🙂 I don't want to be forced to use another music application just because Spotify doesn't want to use HTML5 :'(
Yes you're right, but sometimes there is the possibility to find a workaround.
I'm already premium but you have to download a lot of offline music which require a lot of GBs of memory and you don't have the possibility to listen to new random music according to your current mood.
I use the high quality option for the offline music, but yes I could lower the quality to use less memory. Still, that not fix the random music access problem.
Maybe it's possible to download a linux offline installer ? Or change the installation directory of Spotify on Windows to use a non-restricted storage disk ?
Please uncheck my response as solved as it's not solved 😉
