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
can you be more specific
He says, pirate the music and invest in good listening hardware.
that’s even less specific
DAP - Digital Audio Player - a dedicated device for playing music. Usually will offer higher quality playback then a phone.
SD Card - Secure Digital Card - A common standard for removable flash storage
IEM - In Ear Monitors - A type of headphones
OP is saying to buy this stuff and have your music downloaded as normal files on the SD card.

Download your music offline and use better hardware rather than wasting money on subscriptions
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
