It's a shame this doesn't work for unlimited accounts. You'd have thought they wouldn't mind that, since unlimited has no ads either.

It kind of makes sense since the main difference between premium and unlimited accounts is that unlimited cannot play on mobile.

If their API was open for unlimited accounts, anyone could make own mobile clients, bypassing the restriction.

Ah, good point! I didn't think about that.

Agreed. I can't do anything about it though :-( This is a Spotify policy decision.
