What audio quality does it offer?
Premium Spotify APK streams at 320kbps, the same top tier Spotify reserves for paying Premium subscribers. This build is the official Spotify Android app with the subscription check patched out and the ad code stripped, so you get that bitrate without a subscription and without ads cutting into a song. The quality you hear depends on one setting you control yourself.
How to switch on 320kbps
Open the app, tap the gear icon for Settings, then go to Audio Quality. Set both Streaming and Download to Very High. That Very High option equals 320kbps. The app sometimes defaults to Automatic, which drops the bitrate on a weak connection, so pin it to Very High and it stays there for streaming and for the songs you save offline.
That same 320kbps quality carries into your offline library. You can download up to 10,000 songs across 5 devices, and each one is stored at the bitrate you selected, so a playlist saved for a flight sounds identical to one streamed at home. AI DJ, podcasts, and audiobooks at the 15 hours a month allowance all play through the same audio engine.
The numbers hold up wherever you run it. On Android 5.0 and up with no root needed, the roughly 84 MB v9.0.84.1340 APK delivers the full 320kbps. If you prefer playing on a desktop, the APK runs inside an emulator like BlueStacks, MEmu, or LDPlayer at the same quality, and you can follow the PC and emulator guide for setup. On iPhone, the sideloaded Spotify++ IPA matches the bitrate too.
One honest note. Using this app breaks Spotify’s Terms of Service, and a small ban risk comes with it even though a built-in anti-ban layer patches the detection signatures. Sign in with a spare free account rather than one you care about, and you can enjoy 320kbps with that risk kept low.
