Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rafiuth/Soggfy/issues/154

Im sorry if this is not a soggfy issue and its more on me, but whenever i try to reproduce a song it will do fine for two seconds and then skip to the next and prompt up with a message that says "Spotify can't play this right now, if you have the file in your computer you can import it.". I've tried all the solutions on reddit too. Reducing the audio quality didn't work, turning spatial audio neither. Again i repeat myself if this is not a soggfy im really sorry, but i really don't know where else to ask for help. Thanks in advance.

Mine just started doing this...
Was working before, reinstalled soggfy, reinstalled sound drivers

Works when playing in the web browser though

Maybe spotify caught on?

Also experiencing this issue. Did clean reinstalls of both the Spotify desktop app and Soggfy, cleaned the cache, nothing. Seems to be getting the "Spotify can't play this right now" error and then skipping to the next song.

Seems to me Spotify updated in a way that broke Soggfy -- current version is two years old now anyway

Hi, I'm the owner of the spotify-dl-cli repository, which relies on the Spotify binary used by this repository.
It seems that Spotify is indeed banned from this version of their DRM.
All HTTPs calls to Playplay fail with a 403 error.

Man... I agree the issue seems to lie with desktop client 1.2.31.1205. Our time together was too short. I'm guessing a fix wont be simple/easy. Was a wonderful program. Worked up until I fired things up in the last hour today.

I think simply upgrading to the next version of 1.2.31.1205 and readjusting the function addresses shouldn't be too complicated by using a bindiff. We'll see...

Fascinating! Would making the same changes theoretically fix Soggfy?

hello, i found that using an older verison of soggfy (specfically the one here https://sourceforge.net/projects/soggy-soggify-compiled/) seems to still work depsite 2.7.2 not working anymore. im not sure why or how as i doubt its spotify related

it is quite buggy but its honestly just great to have at least something; one thing to note is that the install script doesnt work, but the zip comes with its own spotify exe anyway

It seems to be because it's using an older version of Spotify, 1.1.97.962.g24733a46 to be exact, so maybe it's just not banned (yet?)

Hmm I cant seem to log in with that version, keeps telling me my username/password are wrong (even though they are right)

Edit: I got it to work by trying to log in with google - but then it redirected and allowed me to login via the browser (and not via google). back in action, for now

Edit 2: this version doesn't seem to write any meta data or album art to the files

Edit 3: This complied version doesn't include ffmpeg, so it cant add the meta data... so just manually add it to SoggifyC\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe

Really dumb workaround for still using soggfy.
If you have spotify premium, you probably know about the offline listening feature.
Turns out, if you download the song(s) for offline listening using an up-to-date client, and then switch to soggfy, it'll just work perfectly fine!
This is extremely stupid, and i'm glad it works lmao.

Agree it does work.. only issue with this version is some audiobooks that were previously free are now paywalled? But Soggify couldn't download audiobooks anyway unfortunately.

"This restricts support to OGG streams exclusively..." a downside for me. I like my mp3s

thank you for mentioning this! i thought it was just it being buggy

id like to mention that 2.7.3 just crashes on my end. literally. you install it and it just immediately closes
running the injector manually, it seems like it just fails to hook onto the audio to decode it. im not sure why this happens on 2.7.3 specifically meanwhile 2.7.2 worked fine (until it broke, again..)

honestly though, i think that we can also just start moving onto other solutions once this completely breaks, im not sure how much longer spytify will hold on but if anything happens ill be ready to switch to that.

in the meantime, i guess just start hoarding as many music files as you can?

Looks like the correct arrangement of versions of Soggfy and Spotify will work. You then have to zoom in order to adjust the Soggify settings.

Yea, I was trying to figure out why this was happening. I figured out that the Spotify version Soggfy uses will not work (I'm assuming Spotify did this themselves) and using the latest version works. I'll just use v2.7.1 for now until I manually patch it to work with a later version if I can figure out how to.

I can confirm. It does work for me this method as well. Will see for how long. Nevertheless, thanks a milion mate !!!

Edit: It works but not always. No idea how. I can download some of albums/playlist, but some of them I cannot. Looks like I am able to download music that I already added to some folder/playlist, but when I try to download new tracks - it starts for half second and then do nothing. Cannot play any new song either. Weird stuff.
