Probably, many of you guys hate the new Spotify as I do. They removed the ability to search/filter local files, Drag and Dropping files and many other cool features. This tutorial will provide a temporary solution for Spotify in order to use it the way it used to be.


For those who don't want to watch the video, here are the instructions:
How to revert back to the Old Spotify:

Download Spotify from here: http://www.filehorse.com/download-spotify/15011/download/
1) Uninstall the old 0.9 version.
2) Install the new 0.8.5 version.
3) DO NOT LOG IN.
4) Go to this location:
C:\Documents and Settings\ \Application Data\Spotify (Win XP)
C:\Users\ \Application Data\Spotify (Win 7/ Win Vista)
5) Make the two files as above:
- Make a new empty text file
- Name it Spotify_new.exe
- Right click the file and make the file read only

- Make a new empty text file
- Name it Spotify_new.exe.sig
- Right click the file and make the file read only

6) Log in.
7) ???

Please note that changing the files' permission to Read Only will prevent Spotify from upgrading.
