A few days ago Spotify released the 0.9.8.296 version for the streaming music service with a new dark design. Unfortunately the update is gradually coming to small groups of people. After a brief private conversation on Twitter with Matt (one of the collaborators on Spotify), he tells me that the update officially arrive “sometime earlier this year.” Currently, there is an official installer, but Spotify is trying to block the installation updating it to an old version.
As a premium user, I'm concerned that spotify should have a 64-bit application for windows because my spotify is constantly crashing, laggy, and most of the time, it freezes. Pretty annoying. Also, I have a HUGE music library at spotify. Needed it in order to work fully well with my PC running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.
So I have developed a simple application that works as one click Spotify 0.9.8.296 installer (note, not official). Of course also you can manually install it for Windows and OS X following a few steps.
NEW: Spotify 0.9.8.270 for Windows (automatic, with Unofficial Spotify Installer 0.9.8)
