• Blocks all banner, video and audio ads in the client

• Podcasts disabled (optional)
• Automatic cache clearing (optional)

• Disabled logging (Stopped various elements to log user interaction)

Additional Notes:

• SpotX will only work correctly on the latest versions of Spotify, please make sure of this before asking a question.
• The modifiable files are replaced by the Spotify installer every time it is updated, so you will need to apply the patch again when this happens.
• SpotX will be installed even if you are using Spicetify, but you may need to run Install.bat again after running the spicetify apply or other commands.
