But if I was a paying customer i would be pretty pissed opening Spotify the first time on my 3 week travels and seeing this crap :-O Funnily there isn't even an option to change the location as suggested. Neither in the modded app nor on spotify.com on FF mobile.
Spotify has radically changed it's official clients to be full of suggestions, ads, and pointless info I don't care about. Add in all the service restrictions, and it's just a crappy service and user-experience. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
