[SPOTIFY TAGGING MOBILE MODDED USERS IS A THEORY]

First, the solution I found that works for me, which may or may not work for others as well:

Creating a new account with a VPN seems to work, although I do not know if it will be for long. I’ll update this post if the account stops working again.

A theory I have is that Spotify is tagging only mobile modded users in particular? Since apparently PC modded users are not having any issues.

What I mean by tagged is if that account is logged into a modded version, it would simply not work, but it will still allow the account to function normally if you’re using the official version of Spotify.

EDIT: AS OF JANUARY 1 2025, THE MODDED APP HAS STOPPED WORKING

Really? My app doesn’t work anymore but my PC’s Spotify seems to be perfectly fine. The only reason i can think of is that maybe its due to me using SpotX on PC but im not sure

3

When you said we got banned, do you mean banned from even accessing the account with non-modded too? Or is it just getting tagged and that said account won’t be available with modded?

Because I’m pretty sure my account is still fine with the non modded app.

Edit: also since I’m too lazy to look for alternatives and my playlist isn’t that big, I switched to good ol mp3 dowmnload with spotDL and listen my music on poweramp. I’ll probably gonna check xmanager again in few months and see if you guys find a way.

New account worked for me for three days. Today back to unplayable playlist.

5

Use spotube till we get it back

6

nah, i went back on premium subscription to save myself from all the hassle. it’s like $3+ monthly in my loc anyway.

once xm figures out a workaround, imma jump back in in a heartbeat lol

I can corroborate the OP’s solution, temporarily as it potentially may be. It definitely works on the modded app to:

  1. Use a VPN when making a new Spotify account;

  2. (Optional): Turn off VPN and use new account. Enjoy.

This would seem to indicate the OP’s theory is correct.

Please dont spread misinformation. Have you already tried downgrading? I out of nowhere seemed to have the same problem while it temporarily worked on the latest version it started crashing. After downgrading everying including logging in works fine again.
Not sure where the issue does show up but it is not banned.

I have tried this exact method a week back and let me tell you I’ve used my existing account with VPN on experimental builds as well as third-party mod apks like liteapks, and they worked perfectly fine once you changed the location in Spotify settings on web.

Same goes for newly created accounts, for some reason even without using a VPN, new accounts lasted about 4-5 days without any errors or so, but they eventually died as well.

I tried some random mod apk I found online and it allowed me to login multiple spotify accounts that I’ve had (the other mod apks, including xManager one would simply crash or give me a login error for some reason), and surprisingly what I noticed is that an old account of mine worked perfectly while this newly created account died in 4 days or so.

But that old account also went through the same problem just a few days back, so Spotify is definitely making it clear that they can detect account specific mod-logins and that same account will work flawlessly on their official Spotify app.

My advice would be to get the first-time subscription ONLY IF it is really cheap, considering it’ll be a 3-month package; and hopefully by that time, the admins/devs of xManager would come up with something instead of posting some crap on discord saying “it’s working for most of the people” like lmao, accountability has left the chat!

8.8.80.599 works for me. no vpn logged it listening to music, no ads. no lyrics. no payments.

11

no you are wrong. there is no such ban. i had this last year too until I did the VPN thing. it worked for a year.

when xmanager stopped working I installed rockmods’ mod. then it worked again for a week or so. now it doesn’t.

I’m using a phone running ColorOS 15, and I need to use a vpn to log in (the ip is the same place). I experienced crashes when I installed the latest spotify version (8.9.98.488) . I also got a “Something went wrong” message with version 8.9.74.568. Then I installed version 8.9.18.512, which runs fine but doesn’t show any lyrics.
By the way, the solution of version 8.9.98.488 is as follows:

My honor magic 5 (android 13) works fine via WiFi but mobile data / 5g it doesn’t work.greyed out and if I press play it it rapidly skips through the tracks without playing (latest Amoled version). My old phone honor 9,(android 9? Emui 9) works fine via WiFi and 4G. (Amoled 8.8.28.409)
I don’t think they like mobile data…

For me, the cloned AB app works just fine!! Maybe for some of you would as well. My only issue is the bigger widget, it’s extremely bugged

15

Wait what’s the problem? I just checked and my mobile Spotify with the lyrics patch mod works perfectly, and my windows spotify with burntsushi also works perfectly fine. I’m not seeing any problems

16

I don’t know if it’s related but mine was acting up when I tried to play podcasts… I did a force stop and re-opened and it worked fine. I have to do this once a day or every other day since somewhat recently. I’m not into the lyrics and the other stuff that people are really focused on so IDK if it’s the same issue.

I’m from Ecuador and the modified app still works fine for listening to music, playlists play normally. The only issue I have is that podcasts come up empty without episodes. I was able to partially solve this with the experimental app, but there are still some podcasts that can’t be played.

18

Am I the only one using a pixel device where Spotify just cooks itself and crashes on the most recent android version lol

19

Wait that’s been a thing for how long now? So far, touch wood, my Spotify has been working. I don’t wanna loose my account because I’ve had it for like 7 years now how did you guys get tagged?

So i will get banned with my og account
