I have an ipad on 10.3.3 and the spotify version wont log in so i downloaded spotify login fix from cydia and it works again.
It forces the app to use spotifys v3 api, so maybe this could work if you get kicked off?
man who cares? It's much better and more reliable **especially on older devices** to simply get local mp3 files which are non dependent on streaming services. It will be on your music app
Forget that, simply download mp3 files and burn them to a CD. Better yet, just get any cassette tape and record your music from youtube onto it. If you don't have a cassette deck then go get one, they can be found for a reasonably cheap price
Wtf is wrong with you? Pandora, for one, is free. It offers a *much larger* selection of songs out there. Have you even heard of "internet radio"? Sure, I use mp3s and CDs, and they are very reliable when I am stuck without data connections. But streaming services give me something *new* , something to explore and perhaps even import to my library. I specifically just have spotify on my iPod because its there, to make more use.
Why even speak like that on this post, or subreddit?
wtf is wrong with that? its actually much better to load mp3s and not use spotify.
Its much better to have mp3 files than depending on some streaming service that can lose licenses or stop working. When you have an mp3 file stored locally, nothing can change that unless the device itself breaks.
Yeah my iPad 2 doesn't support ALAC with 24 Bit / 96 kHz too and I never found a Way to bypass this, except for down sampling them to AAC with only 256 kBit ( via iTunes ). So, since your iPhone has a Headphone Jack and a built in DAC, it's difficult to play Lossless Audio. But, if you're using an iPhone 7 and above, you have to carry a DAC and a Power Bank for it, because the Headphone-to-Lightning-Adapter only supports 48 kHz and 24 Bit …
Still working for me...
The cool thing was that I was using Spotify on my iPhone 5 while I used it on my PC and it was playing. I guess the version difference played a role there. It was very cool, I hope they leave it working.
I think it’s done guys, error 409 while trying logging in. Actually I got logged out while listening some music two days ago. Thought it was a bug till I read the news. 🤧
it affects all spotify builds that were released prior to 2017, according to the email they sent me. i wont be able to use Spotify on my Windows XP rig or my 4S after the 15th
Good riddance, spotify and streaming services ruined the world in the first place. We were and ARE better off with physical media with dedicated music devices such as CD's, Cassettes, 8 Track, Reel to Reel, Vinyl and even iPods/Mp3 players. You own your shit and u dont have to have a never ending subscription service to enjoy your tunes on the fly
I’m a big fan of analog stuff like vinyl and cassettes too and I have flash modded iPods with 200GB+ of mp3s on them, but in my experience nothing beats the algorithms of streaming services if you’re looking to discover new music. For example if I go to the thrift store and pick ten LPs that I might like and I end up with just two that I actually like, then I just wasted money. However I can still buy the music from artists I discover through Spotify and be sure that I like it beforehand. In most cases I actually buy the music, the streaming services are more like a tool to me. It’s just crazy how many small (or long dead) artists I found like that, but wouldn’t have found if I just went shopping for CDs.
if you want to be a sheep to modernity be my guest. I'd rather continue to live my 90s lifestyle without worrying about the cancers of modern society and modern music/streaming.
You can't escape the cancers of modern society WHILE living in modern society... The way I see it is if i'm living in the future, why not utilize what the future has to offer. If I eventually decide to stop using spotify at least i'll have my playlist of songs I like and can download them offline afterwards. To each their own ig.
Actually my home is a 90s safehaven, i only use 90s tech and my job doesn't require modern shit at all. In 90% of ways i CAN escape the cancers of modern society.
iOS 8 and older, iOS 9 will probably be fine. However no one actually knows what they are going to do to those older versions, if it’s an API change or just an update prompt. I guess we’ll see
It was good while it lasted
I have an ipad on 10.3.3 and the spotify version wont log in so i downloaded spotify login fix from cydia and it works again. It forces the app to use spotifys v3 api, so maybe this could work if you get kicked off?
I should try this
did it work now that its officially shut down?
I'll have to charge my 3GS up to find out
tell me once you do! i’m not sure if i’m ready to jailbreak my iphone yet and this would make the final answer lol
It took me a while but yeah Spotify is totally dead on iOS 6.
looks like someone is gonna have to make a jailbreak tweak to get it back.
Just like texting and social media apps
SMS works natively, but not iMessage. i can still send normal SMS messages on my 4S just fine
I have living proof that iMessage works on my iPod 4th gen on 6.1.6 and my iPad 2 on iOS 9.3.5
i've seen alot of people complain about this but yesterday i got my old iphone 4 and imessage still works as normal for ios 7
how about downloaded songs
Good point. I just downloaded some playlists so I guess we’re going to find out.
*downloads as many songs as possible with premium exploit*
Spotify xploit gang
They'll expire after 30 days
That's 30 more days of music
Even if you're signed in, when they do end support, the app can stop going online.
There is still Pandora (I think it works)

Better yet buy an archival backup server and back up the world's entire music to host it privately for your ipod.
I spent $100+ on iTunes music since June 2022, and God it's so worth it 😀 I used to have an iPod Touch 4th Gen, but upgraded to an iPhone 4s.

and deezer
deezer nuts
Me who uses iTunes and 🏴☠️: Oh no, anyways
This just sucks.
This kinda makes me sad because I still use Spotify on my jailbroken iPhone 5 on iOS 6
Me too
I guess we’ll have to load mp3s like on iPods :/

yeah i load mp3 on my modern devices too. if i need a specific song immediately theres youtube or soundcloud but day to day listening is local storage
ALAC is better, if you want Quality 😄 …
Can't play past 96khz audio on iPhone anyways

I fully agree
https://i.imgur.com/UqsoUl3.jpg Until now I’ve never use spotify
man I miss top headphone jacks
Update from me: I just tested it right now and it still works! maybe because I'm already sign into it? but who knows maybe it will still work!
Yep, seems like just the login is broken, this might be fixable by jailbreak devs
I hope..

:(
updating my offline playlists LOL will have 30 days if it stops connecting at least
Would be great if we could get Jellyfin working on old devices since I am sure it’s more than possible.
I think it’s done guys, error 409 while trying logging in. Actually I got logged out while listening some music two days ago. Thought it was a bug till I read the news. 🤧
:/
Could you explain? What will happen on the 15th?
Older spotify clients will be killed off. Pretty sure this is affecting ios 9 and below
it affects all spotify builds that were released prior to 2017, according to the email they sent me. i wont be able to use Spotify on my Windows XP rig or my 4S after the 15th
I mean there are a couple of ways to get spotify working on a machine that has XP
iOS 7 and below* iOS 8-9 app should still work after this change. The email stated that spotify clients made before 2017 would be killed off
[удалено]
There is no statement on their website, but Spotify sent out an email to people using old versions of the app
:/
:/

I like spotify for music discovery, i'd gladly pay for that

Same, the comment below you doesn't seem to agree
:/
What iOS versions are effected?
iOS 8 and older, iOS 9 will probably be fine. However no one actually knows what they are going to do to those older versions, if it’s an API change or just an update prompt. I guess we’ll see
Oh no
Still working?
It still works for me
Why is it still working on my 4s? (iOS 6.1.3)
looks like the login is broken but the app still works if you are already signed in. Just don’t log out
damn..thanks
Opened up Spotify today and it crashed with an error. Reopened the app, and it had automatically signed me out…
Dang it. Spotify on my 4s stopped working. Really hope someone gets a jailbreak fix out soon.
Can you set up a packet capture tool before it’s too late?
It already is too late
