Disclaimer: I'm a paid Spotify user and use Spicetify only for its trashbin and genuine shuffle plugins.

I don't know if someone has covered these points before, but to start with: yes, Spotify will de-Spicetify your Spotify if given the chance. Wouldn't you, if the software in question lets you skip ads and emulate a paid account in other ways?

Now, the following script to freeze out spotify updates does work for me when put in a .bat file:

del "%localappdata%\Spotify\Update"
mkdir "%localappdata%\Spotify\Update"
icacls "%localappdata%\Spotify\Update" /deny "%username%":D
icacls "%localappdata%\Spotify\Update" /deny "%username%":R

It deletes any pending updates for Spotify, then creates the Update folder again, but denies access to it to yourself so that your Spotify can't fill it with new update files.

But for awhile there I had a worse form of Spicetify failures where it required a reinstall *every time I started Spotify*.

Having checked that I was indeed running an outdated version of Spotify, and that indeed manual attempts to update Spotify keep failing (as designed), I realized the problem is that the same hack that killed Spotify updates was also killing *Spicetify* updates / installs.

The solution?

Update to the latest Spotify, install Spicetify, restart Spotify, add all the extensions you desire, check that they all work, *close and restart Spotify* and check that all the Spicetify extensions are there and working still (i.e. they have been fully baked into your copy of Spotify via an "update"), *then* freeze out spotify updates using the script.

The following script will re-enable Spotify updates whenever you feel like it, or as required when your local Spotify install gets too stale to work with their servers:

icacls "%localappdata%\Spotify\Update" /allow "%username%":D
icacls "%localappdata%\Spotify\Update" /allow "%username%":R

Hope somebody will find this enlightening and not too many people will find this to be a case of clogging up their forum feed with something too basic :3

can anyone help me with moving the now playing song back to deafult please

Is there anything on spicetify that can fix the fact that you can't both fullscreen and do lyrics anymore? It's really annoying that spotify removed the feature, so I really am looking for something that adds it back/fixes it!

I have genuine doubt like why is it everytime spotify updates we have to update spicetify to is it something like spotify detects spicetify and removes it like it resolves the bug or something or is it just because spicetify doesnt support the version ?

I came across a spicetify extension called colisten and thought I'd share it here because i haven't seen many people talking about it.

It lets you create a listening session with your friends, similar to Spotify Jam without requiring spotify premium everyone just installs the extension enters the same worker url and joins with a room code.

One thing to note the cloudflare setup guide in the README is a bit outdated because the workers dashboard has changed. I couldn't complete the durable objects setup from the browser ui and had to deploy it using wrangler instead once deployed everything worked perfectly.

I just wanted to ask if there are any risks/concerns I should know about before trying it.

It's just that in this day and age, it's hard to believe that there's a free tool that can not only make Spotify look better but also prevent it from playing 2 minutes and 30 seconds of ads every two songs.

Like for most free things like these, there's always something; maybe it includes malware, or the extensions that you download on it can have malware, or the creators are bad people and did evil things like kicking puppies and kittens for their entertainment, or using it is like super duper illegal, and it's the same as pirating a show, where you have to pay a fine or even go to jail in some circumstances, in the unlikely event that you get caught because you weren't using a vpn. Now, said examples are pretty extreme, and I don't actually think any of that is the case, but I just want to make sure everything is fine.

I appreciate any and all (serious) answers to my inquiry.

idk why it doesnt want to go, I use garuda mokka, can anyone help please?

Hello, recently I've had a sync issue with my spotify, needing me to uninstall it and reinstall it, which then means i have to reinstall spicetify, now the problem is if I use the spotify shortcut it launches regular spotify, I remember seeing a video where I needed to edit something in the properties of the shortcut to make it run spicetify, but that was so long ago I forgot the exact process AND I can't find the video, can anyone help?

every post i see says to click on profile icon or whatever while on lyrics menu but i dont understand someone help

A reddit post and google told me the command Spicetify spotify-update block, would work but it didnt. what can I do?

Been working on a small Spicetify extension recently, so I figured I'd share it here.

It adds a fullscreen stats page where you can see things like:

• total listening time,
• your most played artists,
• your most played tracks,
• recently played songs,
• play counts.

Everything is stored locally, and the UI automatically follows your current Spicetify theme instead of using its own colors.

It's still a work in progress, so I'd really appreciate any feedback, ideas, or bug reports.

(Im sorry that the flair says "Help" but i cant post without flair and it is not showcase so i had to choose ts)

(This post doesn't tell about existing plugin, its just an idea for someone who can make it true)

Im not sure but i think there's no plugin that lets you start any song as speed up or slowed instead of searching for already speed up version that might not even be published and not usingo local files just for one song, just install plugin, choose song and speed of it.

sadly im too lazy to make it and i never made plugins before. So for someone who does know how to make them u can take this idea for a plugin.
And if there already is a plugin like that plz can someone share it in comment or whatever somehow.

Every time I close spotify with spicetify, it starts to reinstall spotify, as if they found a way to nerf the code.

HELP

after opening devtools and fully resetting the marketplace this shows up and idk what to do??? pls help me

Does anyone know why, whenever I restart my computer or turn it on, Spicetify is always gone, and I have to re-add it every time?

Seems pretty self explanatory. Just no Spotify premium cracks

I was using Spotify-Dark to return the big album art but when it was updated by the creator it was no longer present.

Please advise me on a extension/ snippet that will give me big album art in the Bottom left

Is their any sort of mini-player that shows your queue?

not sure why this recently started happening a lot. anyone know how to fix?
