Since cracked Spotify on Android is a futile effort at this point (no version works on my account), and since I love its recommendation algorithm, I had this harebrained idea of streaming Spicetify on my PC to my phone, but I have yet to find a solution that works outside of my PC’s wifi network. A few criteria:

  • Just for clarification, I am not trying to stream local files stored on my PC. I am trying to stream audio from a program on my PC (Spicetify) onto my phone. I would do it locally since it’s far less hassle, but then I get zero recommendations from Spotify, which is the whole point of this exercise.
  • I listen to music on my phone far more often than I do on PC, so grabbing recommended songs from there and downloading them locally is more effort in the long run instead of suffering through finding a solution to this problem once.
  • Youtube Music will pull from videos that aren’t the “official audio”, which means in-video skits will play and obviously, I don’t want that. Also, audio sometimes skips.
  • Audiorelay works but only on the same network.
  • My phone’s audio quality tanks whenever I’m on a voice call, so using Discord or Mumble is not an option.
  • Rustdesk is what I use to switch songs and it itself works for streaming audio, but video streaming is a bit of a data hog and audio won’t always stay in the background.
  • EeveeSpotify (iOS only) is by far the best solution I have right now but I have to turn on data tethering before I start using it and I need to bring another phone with me. And streaming audio in the background from multiple audio sources from both devices is impossible. Also, it’s just more hassle to constantly charge an iPhone with a heavily degraded battery and to constantly switch between devices. Really wish someone would port EeveeSpotify’s solution to Android…
  • I would love to be proven wrong, but as it stands, there’s just too many songs, playlists, and podcasts to import and I have no idea how long it will take to rebuild whatever internal profile I have at Spotify that’s giving me the recommendations it’s giving me. So making a new Spotify account to get modded APKs working is out of the question. Besides, who knows how long before this new account is flagged again?
  • I understand if there’s a solution that doesn’t involve Spotify, but I just really love the recommendations it gives me, which is why I’m going through all this effort to get something working while the modded Android app is going through a period of unreliability.
