Installing with parameters

[amd64fox]

You can customize your setup based on input parameters.

For example, we will perform an automatic installation for a premium account, we will also add automatically enabling Spotify after installation is completed:

Now our custom installer is ready:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = 3072; iex "& { $(iwr -useb 'https://spotx-official.github.io/run.ps1') } -podcasts_off -block_update_on -start_spoti -premium"

If it is more convenient for you to run the installation through a .bat file, then you can download any bat file like this one and edit its parameters to your own.

You just need to substitute your parameters at the end of the command and start the installation.

Warning

Important: do not use parameters that contradict each other simultaneously.

Note

Sometimes Spotify developers forcefully enable\disable experimental features for everyone. In this case, enabling\disabling them will no longer work, so either live with it or stay on the old version of Spotify in which it worked for you.

-exp_spotify - all standard and experimental features are now managed by Spotify developers, just like in the original client.

If the parameter is not specified, all experimental features listed on this page will be enabled (except for those marked in the header as disabled by default)

SpotX will still control the exp features that are crucial for disabling ads or for the operation of other SpotX features
