Does it work on PC?

Yes, it runs on a PC, just not the way a normal program does. Premium Spotify APK is the official Spotify Android app with the subscription check patched out and the ad code stripped, so it expects an Android system underneath it. To get that on Windows or Mac, you install an Android emulator and load the APK inside it. BlueStacks, MEmu, and LDPlayer all handle the v9.0.84.1340 build (about 84 MB) without trouble. The emulator creates a virtual Android 5.0 or higher device, and no root is required.

The setup is short. Install your emulator of choice, drag the downloaded APK onto its window or use its built-in APK installer, then open the app and sign in. After that you get the same features you would on a phone: ad-free playback, 320kbps audio under Settings, Audio Quality, Very High, unlimited skips, AI DJ, real-time synced lyrics, podcasts, and offline downloads up to 10,000 songs across 5 devices. Audiobooks give you 15 hours a month. For the exact emulator settings and step-by-step screenshots, follow the PC and emulator guide, which walks through each program.

Two things to plan for. There are no automatic updates, so when a newer build lands you reinstall the fresh APK inside the emulator by hand, and any older version you prefer stays on the Old Version page. A built-in anti-ban layer patches the detection signatures, but using a patched client still breaks Spotify’s Terms of Service, so a small ban risk exists. Sign in with a spare free account rather than your main one. If your playlists do not appear after the first login, connect a US VPN, log in, change your country at spotify.com under Profile, then wait 24 to 48 hours for the library to sync.

One note on iPhone, since people ask alongside PC. There is no emulator route on iOS. You sideload a patched Spotify++ IPA with AltStore or Sideloadly, and a free Apple ID gives a 7-day certificate you re-sign each week.
