Spotify USA vs. Spotify UK

Spotify USA is somewhat different from Spotify UK in terms of both content and features. There are a few features or options you can say, we found missing from both sections of Spotify. Let’s take a look at them, shall we;

Missing From Spotify US

Download Service: In Spotify US, users can only stream music but not download or purchase it.
Spotify Open: The Spotify USA also misses out on Spotify Open feature that allows you to sign up from the Spotify website.
Spotify Radio: Spotify Radio is only available in Europe for free.

Missing From Spotify UK

Spotify users in the UK aren’t really missing out on much. Spotify US has less features but it is relatively cheaper to buy premium Spotify account in US than in UK. That’s the only thing Spotify UK seems to come short on!

How to Stream Spotify India

Millions of users love to stream music on Spotify. But in order to do so, you must be residing in the US or in a few selected countries such as UK, Ireland, or Spain. But there is a way to unblock Spotify in India as well. For that you will need a Spotify VPN, to unblock Spotify outside US or UK and eventually access Spotify in India.

Here is how you can unblock Spotify in India:

Launch FastestVPN app and Connect to US server location

Spotify album not available in your region?

Many users may have come across this issue. To deal with it, you need to trace where the linked track is located and then swap it in your playlist with that track.

This can be done easily on a PC. Simply trace down the desired music file, click the chain icon to go to the location where the track is being fetched from. Swap the file into your playlist and that’s it!

How to Change Spotify country

You can change Spotify country in two different ways:

Free subscribers

Visit your Spotify Account page on Browser.
Click on Edit Profile.
Go to Country’s section and select your new country from the list.
Click on Save Profile.

Premium subscribers

(Note: you must update your Spotify account every time you move to another country)

Go to your Spotify account page on Browser.
Select Subscription from the menu on the left.
Click on Update Details.
Now hit on ‘…’ button for more options.
Click Change Country and select your desired the country.
Select a payment method and done!
Confirm the changes by clicking on Change Payment Details.

Note: the library of music content differs from one country to another and if you reside in for example India, you may get a different music library from that of US or UK. This is because Spotify detects your IP and thus provides you the music library according to your region. So if you want to stream your original music library when in another country, or you simply want to listen to music from US or UK, you must use a Spotify VPN. By using a VPN, you can switch your IP to that of US or UK IP to unblock Spotify library from US or UK and bring you the music library of that region.
