Port 4070 block making Spotify unusable

So i have some ports blocked on my firewall, explicitly ALL except those i need for working internet connection. Spotify is app, on internet, that should be providing me with music, because i pay quite alot for it and all I've got so far is pain when listening at home, so i should be provided atleast with DOWNLOADED music for offline use.

Security conscious users exist - The port is not blocked just for fun....
10-15 minute timeout is INEXCUSABLE - Like... yes this is how long i wait until i decide to implement a workaround thus establish a connection that will passthrough my FW, or i just turn of Network Access (Why it works 🤔)
It's just Privacy violation - Broadcasting what you're listening to on LAN.. That should be opt in not default
Just causes unwanted device switching - When im on VPN thus bypassing firewall it just randomly switches the device because why not right?

There has been many many requests, people complaining but no action taken. Just use TLS communication please like a normal person, business, enterprise, corporation.. whatever...

But my library is out of sync, before booting spotify i have to turn on VPN to sync songs i liked, load spotify, then turn it off terminate all connections and then im finally able to listen to music im yet again forced to pay more for... 

I'm willing to collaborate with devs on this. Whatever, just let me listen to music like a normal person who doesn't want useless mDNS queries on their network, meaningless port allowed to access my network just to have their phone decides it's playing the music now.

Thanks for listening to my rant, i believe im not alone and if this will not stop i will just download some cracked version of your shitty app that actually works, is free and doesn't make cause balding.
