Spotify in India??? Seriously?? Is it a bug or have they released it silently??

It's a shame for them if it wasn't available in the first place

If you have paid account you can play in India.

Why wouldn't it be in India?

I havent paid a single penny. I just signed in from facebook..

@coolq dont know and it still isnt. If you check their official website

@bitsnpieces
Dam, they need to get on that ;-;

@coolq but I am able to login and that too for FREE???? Is it supposed to be this way? Or am I getting excited for something very common?

By the way I havent given them any payment info and I am scared to hit refresh or it might go away. 😅

@bitsnpieces If you have a free account you will hear some ads from time to time but that should be it.

Enjoy! :)

@Jilano what is the frequency of those ads? I mean I have been on it since and hour now and no ads until now. Also my ad blocker is running does it help?

@bitsnpieces Ad blockers don't do anything. You probably got helluva lucky.

First guy in India to use Spotify without any "hacks"

You heard it first on devrant. 😅

Bowling for soup... awesome 😀

@bitsnpieces my friend is using Spotify in windows.

@bitsnpieces from what I know, vpns are not hacks

@RedBorg that is why I wrote hacks in " ". Hacks not in literal sense.

@solooo7 in india??

Nope. Doesn't seem so. India is missing from the list. I'm using Spotify here in India though. Subscribed to a spotify family plan via a friend living in US.

@respam I didnt do any such thing. I just signed up and voila..

@bitsnpieces They payment options would not be in INR. If you don't have subscription, I guess you can only shuffle play.

Waiting for Amazon Prime Music to hit the market.

@respam I tried searching for tracks and playing and it worked. I dont know the extensive list of features Spotify offers but whatever I was trying to do worked.

Amazon prime music??? Naah.. not so much.. I am happy with my google play music..

The same happened to me some days ago when my VPN app stopped working so my UK login was gone. Researching I found a comment on reddit that there is some bug with their Facebook implementation which bypasses the country check. I'm currently back to my UK login but yeah Facebook login of any country works.

@bitsnpieces yes!!

@Lahsen2016 Yup.

Maybe you were just given the initial 7 days premium trial

Btw it's also not available in my country but with a family plan with a friend in US, you can stream anywhere w/o VPN

What you do when something is not available in your country:

Get a VPN

@bitsnpieces Bro, you sure you're not using a VPN?

@rezn0v

I would know if I was using one. Nope I am most certainly not.

I signed up using facebook and even though my location on facebook is India, my profile on spotify says Netherlands and I am enjoying free ad-less service since these many days.

@notSpotifyDevs
You can try this method and see if it works for you. Go to open.spotify.com and signup using facebook. Tell me if it works.

@anySpotifyDev
Ignore this rant. 😂

@ebourgess @adikul

No VPN. Thats the amazing part. Not even kidding.

@adikul

It works on browser, thats enough for me I guess. I mean you can't complain when you are getting it for free.
