Whenever I log on to my MacBook it automatically starts up Spotify.
I don't have Spotify in the Sytem Preferences > Users/Groups. I don't have the option in the Spotify settings. I don't see any agents or daemons in /Library/LaunchAgents or /Library/LaunchDaemons.
What are my options other than cancelling my Spotify Premium subscription? I find it very invasive that Spotify decides to take over my computer without my permission.
I've edited ~/Library/Application Support/Spotify/prefs and changed app.autostart-configured false but it still starts up. It even changes the value back to true!
OK more tinkering. app.autostart-configured=true and app.autostart-mode="off" but Spotify still starts right up! I can write a cronjob or launch agent that kills the **bleep**ing Spotify process but that seems a bit overkill.
OK more tinkering and app.autostart-configured=false and app.autostart-mode="off" seems the kill the startup. Now all I need to do is prevent the Spotify background process from starting.
Also why do I have to click on multiple pictures of fire hydrants when I post a reply. That is not how you handle customers.
