About SpotX-Bash
SpotX-Bash is a Bash script that modifies the Spotify desktop client on Linux and macOS to block audio, banner, and video ads. It can also block logging, enable developer mode and experimental features, hide audiobooks, episodes and podcasts from the home screen, and install supported client versions on macOS and APT-based Linux distributions.
It runs from the terminal and lists 1.3.3.264.gdaf3b824 as the supported client version, with support for Linux distributions and OS X/macOS 10.11+. Snap installs require a separate helper script, Nix users on x86_64 Linux or Apple Silicon macOS are directed to SpotX-Nix, and premium subscribers need a specific flag because free-tier patches apply by default.
