One day nearly a year after signing on, Spotify decided to stop getting along with my VPN. Locked out completely with no explanation for what was happening. Finally got back in with girlfriend’s help (she’s a google ninja) and the rep told us the VPN would be a continuing problem. Found while signing back on they had deleted my playlist as well. Goodbye Spot…hello alternative!
