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?

Edit: I'm aware that there are a lot of solutions to get it for free. I'm aware that I can just download my music.

Currently, I'm running running navidrome for my downloaded music and x manager Spotify for myself.

My wife has an iPhone. I don't want to download her music. But she's paying full price for Spotify.

I also like to listen from my work desktop. I have administrative rights, but it would be really dumb to download something like this to my work machine.

In several countries, I can get Spotify for like $30 dollars a year for 2 people. This price would be worth moving to legal. Especially for her, since she's paying $11 right now

Or just use the cracked versions if you have android

This is what I do. But my wife has an iPhone, and can't.

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. Just refresh and you can go back to listening to your music.
