    Damn here I thought something that makes sense, like me using cracked APKs, was affecting their profits. Good good.

              Well… With Spotify premium you can download and play it offline, which is what I was specifically asking about.

                It’s just an adblocker, i don’t know if they manage to give you full quality.

                I don’t know a trusted source and they couldn’t be more shady.

      Are there any trust-worthy and reliable cracked Spotify APKs which you can recommend? I only want to know because I want to avoid downloading them accidentally.
