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

Purchase a $200 DAP + $25 SD card and some IEMs and carry all of your music offline

Fun story. I never really considered myself an audiophile. At first, I downloaded every song I had as an mp3 or YouTube rip.

Then I ran out of storage space and built a music server.

Then I discovered deemix. At the time completely free

I know deemix wouldn't last. I redownloaded every song I had as flac, knowing I can't Begin to take advantage of it. Storage is cheap and I have unlimited data.

So a dap is in my future. Probably in my car. And after some research

Take a look at Hiby for the less expensive DAPs. You'll find plenty of IEMs to run off of it in whichever category of price you're looking in
