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

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.
