Finds & uses a random US proxy server for Spotify; mainly useful for using Spotify in countries where it is not available officially. If Spotify is available in your country, do not use this.
This has only been tested on Linux and MacOS, it should also work on Windows but I am unable to test on Windows and therefore can not confidently state that it does work.
- Spotify Desktop App
- Node.js and npm
- Some way to run a command from the command line (Terminal.app, Xterm, iTerm2, xfce4-terminal, etc.)
In order for this to work, you need to have a spotify account (free). Use any VPN extension that offers a US server in your browser to create a Spotify account, If you don't have an account.
Download the Spotify Desktop App.
Install the Spotify Desktop App and run it at least once.
Next, open a terminal emulator (Terminal.app, Xterm, iTerm2, xfce4-terminal, etc.) and run the following commands:
npm install -g spotprox
spotprox
The script will update the proxy settings for Spotify and Launch the desktop app, if a proxy server stops working simply quit Spotify and run the script again.
