Install/Uninstall:

Easy Installation:

Download and run install.bat. You don't need to download any other file.

PS - It's not encrypted at all, it's a batch file with the mod embedded at the end (see the "MZ" header). You can always use the manual installation method.

Manual Installation:

Download and drop netutils.dll inside the Spotify installation folder (next to Spotify.exe).

The default Spotify installation location is: %APPDATA%/Spotify (copy and paste into Explorer address bar)

Uninstall:

To uninstall, simply delete netutils.dll from your Spotify installation (see above for the location).
