Asked to log in everytime if I use my SD card for storage

[Dotchris6]

I would like to keep my Spotify music on the external SD card. It will move it, but every time I open the app I am prompted to log in. If I change it back to internal it works fine. I need it to work on the SD card. I have a Moto X Pure with Marshmallow and I gave Spotify permissions to storage. Also, "Google Now" wont let me set Spotify as default player.

Hi @Dotchris6,

Please try these steps (quoted from a Motorola user):

0) uninstall spotify (just to make sure you start fresh)
1) install spotify
2) launch spotify but do not log in. Go to Settings → Apps → Spotify and Force Stop
3) [Requires Root] Use a file manager (e.g ES File Explorer) to navigate to /data/data/com.spotify.music/shared_prefs/
4) [Requires Root] Edit the file "spotify_preferences.xml" → towards the end, got to :
<string name="cache_location_v4">/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.spotify.music/files/spotifycache</string>
and change the path to point to the external SD instead. I just changed the emulated/0 part to the name of the directory where my external SD is mounted. In my case "/storage/ext_sd/Android/data/com.spotify.music/files/spotifycache"
5) Start spotify. (optional: If you do not login, and switch back to the file manager and go to your SD Card/Android/com.spotify.music/ you will see that the directories where created).
6) Login, download a playlist (no need to switch to extreme quality).

Let me know it it works for you!
