Hi, Regarding the new terms and conditions which state:

We’ve updated our User Guidelines, making it clear that all types of ad blockers, bots, and fraudulent streaming activities are not permitted;

Since Spotifree doesn't block, it simply mutes, do we - Spotifree users - need to be concerned about our accounts? I love Spotifree as much as my playlists 😄

Thanks!

Hi!

I'm afraid the new Terms and Conditions do apply to Spotifree, so your account may be blocked if you're using it...

Does it mute only Spotify sound or system sound? Maybe it would be fine if it only mutes system sound.

jaywilliams commented 5 years ago

It mutes Spotify itself, and I've found from my experience that if you run it for a while Spotify will detect it and eventually stop playing. You'll have to close and re-open the application. Muting the system may work, but I wouldn't put it past Spotify to monitor that as well.
