Spotify wants me to have a card from said county. I read that you can use PayPal, but they want a phone number from that country.

Any advice?

          I also want it on desktop

          Spotify without a paid subscription on FF desktop with uBlock Origin is pretty good. It will start playing random music after a while, but it’s not enough to bother me.

          You can either spoof your location and payment to India for cheap rate, or go to account share Reddit and get on someone’s family plan. Some even do family India, so it’s cheap family, at that. If you don’t have friends that do this already.

          Just make sure you double check the user against the thread of scammers.

      I download most of my music, but I haven’t gotten a new song in like a year and a half, so I want cheap, desktop something for the once in a while listening.

      My wife has an iPhone and pays full price, this is also motivation

        Just use the free plan but download whatever you plan on listening to using any of the countless tools to do exactly that.
