Remove the inscription "Free" on the button in the taskbar

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I know this is a very small thing but I was wondering if it was possible to Rename what the window shows up as, currently it shows up as "Spotify Free" but when I was on a premium plan it showed "Spotify Premium", I would like to know if renaming this window is possible. Attached screenshots for reference.

I don't really mind the playlists... my main concern is that it's not fully patching properly and Spotify may get some logs with evidence of ad-block and ban my account.

The ability to like a song coming from Local Files (Liking Local Files Songs)

I've been using Spotify for quite a while now, and I've always wanted the ability to like "Local Files" songs, but I've never been able to. I'm just wondering if that feature could possibly be added?

I added an example of what I mean in Screenshots.

Improving UX when installation completed

📝 Description of the idea

1. Open Spotify after installation completed
2. Use pause before the exit (maybe it's better not to use the exit command!?)

I ran the usual installation command in Powershell and suddenly the Powershell window closed because it was minimized i didn't know whether the installation was successful or not.

Force Spotify to Update Timeline Every second.

📝 Description of the idea

1. When patching Spotify, change the code to update the windows timeline every second to fix bugs like this.
2. This should be an optional feature to be activated similarly for when it asks you if you want to "Disable Podcasts" or "Cache Cleanup"

If Invite Collaborators option is present, interactive clickable lyrics disappear and vice-versa.

• Windows version: 11
• PowerShell version: 5.1.22000.588

📝 Description of the problem

2. When I re-installed the script (ran Uninstall.bat, opened Spotify (with ads), closed Spotify, installed the script again), the interactive lyrics disappeared and switched to the normal time-synced one, but I got the Invite Collaborators icon next to the Enhance button under my playlist.
3. Is it possible to have both the options simultaneously? Thanks

Sponsored and audio ads come through on the latest version of Spotify (1.1.69.612)

But I haven't seen pop-ups and video ads. And the ad placeholder and the "UPGRADE" button are gone.
Which means you're heading the right way.

"Oops, default desktop folder not found, cache clearing installation stopped"

This issue is caused because I've changed the PATH from my desktop to an other drive letter.
You can easily fix this issue using the following RegEdit key: HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Desktop instead of %USERPROFILE%\Desktop.
Thanks for your awesome application, in the hope of a bug-fix, I wish you a nice day.

Add SpotX to the Scoop installer

📝 Description of the idea

Scoop (https://scoop.sh/) is a command line installer for Windows which does things like:

1. Eliminating permission popup windows
2. Hiding GUI wizard-style installers
3. Finding and installing dependencies automatically
   and a lot more.

I request you to add SpotX to the Scoop installer so Scoop users can use it, and to keep it compatible with the Scoop installation of Spotify.

(spicetify-cli is also on Scoop btw)
