When I go to 'https://gue1-spclient.spotify.com/widevine-license/v1/audio/license' within chrome while logged in on premium account it responds 'no token provided'

[ClosetGeek-Git]

Also, it is saying I'm using a free account when I'm premium. I logged out of my Spotify within chrome, logged back in, copied new cookie (from Open Cookies.txt extension) to cookies.txt in root of where I'm downloading but still thinks I'm on a free account

Yes. Many users are facing this issue. Just be patient. I'm working on it

[AsHfIEXE]

Use this commandpip install spotify-web-downloader -U
Also, if you still get 403 errors after updating, try getting the .wvd from a different device/Android version.
And remember to always put your URLs under quotes ("www.example.com", and not www.example.com).

[ClosetGeek-Git]

I don't have the .wvd file, and from what I'm seeing you need to put 'Rooted Android Device' at the very top of your list of prerequisites.

[AsHfIEXE]

I don't have the .wvd file, and from what I'm seeing you need to put 'Rooted Android Device' at the very top of your list of prerequisites.

After Update 1.8 prerequisites and installing is little bit different from earlier version

[AsHfIEXE]

Rinstall the tool by following the instructions
