Spotify in locked down environment
-
Tell them to use the Spotify Web Player (https://play.spotify.com/). Then they don't need to install or update the Spotify client.
Having said that, the web player doesn't work on my PC. I think because I blocked it, but I can't remember how. The app works ok.
Alternatively, can't he just listen to music on Youtube like the rest of the world?

FTFY

To be fair, the issue is not the OP's decision, but the decision of the owner of a remotely supported company. That owner wants everything locked down and secure, yet doesn't have an issue with this user having Spotify; therefore, we have to support him in "fixing" it every time it doesn't want to work. I think we all agree wholly that the entire thing is a dumb idea and a contradiction of policies, but if that's how they want it... (rolling eyes)

Got that right. Security and convenience are mutually exclusive.

Very seldom have I found the customer to be right, but that doesn't typically sway their decision-making outcomes.

Who is writing this book? I have about 1,000 more suggestions for entries!

There will also be "1001 reasons not to work in educational/health care/non-profit IT" (each with its own book, obviously).

It could be an entire series! Kinda like the ___ for dummies books.

Probably the same person who was taking notes for me when you and I were speaking with the guy from DocuMation. A couple of points that came up in that conversation are no longer in active recall and I really did want to get them out of my head before this happened..

This gives me an idea for a topic...
