This week, a tragedy occurred for many Android users who love music: Spotify has blocked the operation of a Spotify Premium APK that allowed you to enjoy the entire platform as if you were paying for its use. Since I am not subscribed to Spotify, it took me a while to figure out what was going on. And once I understood, I still don't see the problem, and even less so now, when they have made the launch of Spotify official. Spottube 4.0.
It's been many months since we publish an article dedicated to Spotube. In short, it is an application that allows us Link our Spotify account to listen to our playlists, artists and others in a different interface without restrictions. The audio is obtained from YouTube, and it is the best option as long as you do not expect the best quality. Our account only uses it as a reference, which is why we do not run any risk.
