Need help with which version of Spotify for Mac is compatible with old macbook

Greetings, 

 

I have a Premium account, an iPhone 6s plus, and I am in the United States. I would like to install desktop on an old MacBook (August 2008) that is not able to be upgraded past OS X 10.7.5 . Although older versions of Spotify for Mac seem to be readily available, but I cannot seem to find info about compatibility/corresponding OSX versions. Any help is appreciated!  

 

 

 

Device

(iPhone 8, Samsung Galaxy 9, Macbook Pro late 2016)

Operating System

(iOS 10, Android Oreo, Windows 10,etc.)

Hi @LivingInLevity! Welcome to the community and thanks for your post. Unfortunately, I can't recommend downloading an old version of Spotify as these are not officially supported for a variety of reasons, including security. The best option for accessing Spotify on an older device would probably be through the web player at https://open.spotify.com/ assuming your browser is up to date and able to run it. Hope that helps!
