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?

    Yeah, this is my current solution. I was hoping I could do cheap enough to just get legal

      Don’t get me wrong, and I even think I shouldn’t get involved on this, but it’s a bit of a waste to pay for Spotify. imo, it’s a company that doesn’t deserve our money, since they dont care about musicians art and pay very poorly to them. If you want something to listen offline, I recommend Tidal. In the x manager app you have this option with a modified version

      IDK why’d you even bother with legal, it’s easy enough to rip mp3s out of any youtube video.

      these are in my ~/.zshrc:

      # download any video as mp3
# if video is chaptered, split each chapter into separate song files
alias yt-mp3='yt-dlp --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --split-chapters --no-check-certificate'
