MAXIS SPOTIFY NO LONGER FREE

54

Spotify changed the way people listen to and discover new music. It has become a
force to be reckoned with, and only a few can match the fantastic music
streaming service. I recently started using Spotify, and I faced a little
trouble getting it to work. Spotify was not working on my Windows 10 PC though
it worked fine on my Android.

It took me some time to go through all the settings and sift through the support
forums to find solutions that actually worked. Without further ado, here is a
list of solutions that will help you resolve the same and get Spotify working on
your Windows 10 computer.


1. RELAUNCH SPOTIFY

Tai Kam Leong (pictured), head of brand and marketing at Malaysian telco Maxis,
said during the recent Spotify Audio Amplified 2020 that oversimplying is
'dehumanising' because it runs the risk of.

It is possible that the Spotify app didn’t launch correctly and this may have
led to an error. To check, simply click on the red ‘x’ on the right side of the
window to close Spotify. Give it some time to shut completely.

Wait a few seconds and relaunch to check if everything is working as intended.
If not, don’t worry, we have got more tricks up our sleeve.



2. REBOOT PC

I keep recommending this solution in almost all of my Windows 10 guides.
Rebooting the PC is a good idea to resolve errors without doing much of
tinkering around things. Simply click on the Windows icon and select Restart.

It will take a few moments, so you can take this time to decide what you want to
listen to next on Spotify.

3. TASK MANAGER

Several users reported that killing the process associated with Spotify in the
Task Manager helped them resolve the issue. Sometimes, the process never stops
properly or continues to run even after the app is closed. And when you launch
an app, like Spotify, Windows gets confused because according to it, Spotify is
already running. Dumb, I know. That happens even though you have closed the app.

To kill the process, press Ctrl+Shift+Esc shortcut on your keyboard to launch
the Task Manager and under the Processes tab, look for Spotify.

When you do, right-click on it to open options and select End task. Wait for a
few moments until Spotify disappears from the Task manager. Now relaunch it to
check if it is working or not.



4. HARDWARE ACCELERATION

Many Spotify users have claimed that unchecking the Hardware Acceleration option
helped them bring sanity to their life. If you can open the Spotify window,
press the Alt key on your keyboard and under the File menu, select View.

Now uncheck the Hardware Acceleration option and close Spotify. Wait a few
moments and relaunch it again to check if it is working or not.



5. REINSTALL SPOTIFY

If you are still haven't managed to fix Spotify, then it's possible that there
is something wrong with the installation files of Spotify. Do not skip this
paragraph thinking uninstalling means clicking on the Uninstall option in
Control Panel. There is more to it.

Hit the Windows key on your keyboard and right-click on Spotify to select the
Uninstall option.

If the app asks you for confirmation, click OK. Now Press the Windows key+E on
your keyboard to open the File Explorer and navigate to the below folder
structure.


You need to delete the Spotify folder here. If you are unable to view AppData
under YourUsername, right-click on Quick access and select Options.


Under the View tab, click on Show hidden files, folders, and drives option and
then click on Apply and OK. You can now see the hidden folder named AppData.

Do not install Spotify from the Windows Store. A Spotify support staff has
recommended users to install it using the ‘full installer package.’ That means
follow the link shared below and install it from there.

6. UPDATE DRIVERS

Spotify uses audio drivers to deliver music to your ears, and if the drivers are
missing or not up to date, you are in a fix. Download Driver Easy using the link
below. Run the program. Driver Easy will scan your Windows OS and suggest
missing drivers for many apps including audio if any.

If you find audio in the list, follow the steps to download and install the
latest version. The free version will work fine. However, note that you can only
download one driver at a time as the free version doesn’t support parallel
downloads. Still, it saves time as you don’t have to hunt for the drivers on the
wild web manually. If you can, you may go that route. Either way, update your
audio drivers.

7. COMPATIBILITY & ADMIN MODE

Navigate to the folder where you have Spotify installed on your drive. Usually,
it’s the C drive. Right-click on the Spotify.exe file and select Properties.
That will only work if you have installed Spotify using the link I shared above
in the point 5, and are using an OS older than Windows 10. If you don’t meet
both the criteria, skip this point.


MAXIS SPOTIFY NO LONGER FREE MUSIC

Under the Compatibility tab, select Run this program in compatibility mode for
and select the Windows OS version that you are using.


In the same tab, also select Run this program as an administrator. Click on
Apply and OK. Relaunch Spotify and check if the issue is resolved.



DISCOVER, LISTEN, REPEAT

Spotify is a fantastic app for music streaming which you can use to discover new
music and listen to them. It sucks when the app fails to work on Windows 10.
Some users have suggested using the web version as a workaround, but that is not
really a solution, just an alternative. You might do it if none of the above
solutions worked for you.

A GUIDE TO SCHEDULING EMAILS IN GMAIL ON MOBILE AND DESKTOP

My family absolutely loves the music streaming service Spotify, so much so that
I actually splurged for Spotify Premium last year. Now each kid can build their
own playlists and listen to any song they want from their personal device. So
when I heard online rumors about people figuring out how to score a free Spotify
Premium account, it piqued my curiosity. Could it really be possible? I ended up
doing a bunch of research and here’s what I discovered.


FIRST, THE SCAMS, MYTHS, AND SKETCHY STUFF:

When it comes to getting Spotify Premium for free, there are many folks who are
trying to outsmart the system and illegally creating a way to get free access.

Here’s what you need to know to not fall victim.

– Change the Date On Your Phone “Hack” – I discovered several illegal “hacks”
where people extended their 30-day Spotify free trial be simply changing the
date on their phone to something in the past.

This would extend their free trial by however many days in the past you went
back. Don’t do it.

Not only is it wrong, but it can really mess up your smartphone apps that need
the correct date to function and stay updated, not to mention your calendar.

– Use a 3rd Party Spotify App – I also discovered a YouTube video where some
dude used a bogus Spotify app which got him full access to Spotify Premium free
of charge.

He never really said who created the app which is a good reason to stay away
from it. Don’t do it, as you run the risk of picking up a nasty virus on your
computer, tablet, or smartphone.

– Free Spotify Premium Codes – Apparently, there are these Spotify “codes”
floating around the web which require you to download a “code generator” onto
your computer which you can use to get Spotify for free.

These are very shaky sites to say the least, and many are riddled with spyware,
viruses, and malware. I’d stay away from them all.


4 LEGIT WAYS TO GET SPOTIFY FOR FREE (OR REALLY CHEAP)

While there exists some shady ways to get Spotify Premium for free, there also
exists some legit ways to get it free, or for very little money. Here are a few:


1. GET A REALLY LONG SPOTIFY FREE TRIAL

Spotify normally comes with a 7-day free trial when you redeem your trial via
mobile. So don’t redeem via mobile….ever.

Instead, start your trial via your desktop or laptop and take advantage of their
60-day free trial. This 60-day trial only works for users who’ve never had
Spotify Premium before and are willing to enter their credit card info to get
the free trial started.


2. SHARE A PREMIUM ACCOUNT

Did you know that you can share a Premium account with others and split the
monthly cost?

Get 3 friends or family members on a Family account with you and each will only
pay $3.75/month.


MAXIS SPOTIFY NO LONGER FREEZING

Make it easy: Have one person pay the monthly bill, then just collect money from
the others every 6 months or so.

3. STUDENT? GET SPOTIFY PREMIUM FOR CHEAP

Did you know that students can score Spotify Premium for only $4.99/month via
Spotify Student for up to 12 consecutive months? To qualify you’ll need a .edu
email address and be able to show proof of enrollment.


MAXIS SPOTIFY NO LONGER FREEZE


4. GUARANTEED 30-DAY FREE TRIAL WITHOUT GETTING CHARGED

After you start your 30-day free trial, go into your Spotify account and under
“Subscription”, click on “Cancel your Subscription”.

You’ll still get your free 30 days and won’t be charged once your trial ends.

The best part is you’ll no longer have to remember to cancel your free trial
before getting billed for your 1st month.
