Thread has aged a bit However, One thing needs to be addressed because Spotify changed the registry entry.
[spotify]
LangSecref=3023
Detect=HKCU\Software\Spotify <<<<<<<<<<see Note
Default=false
FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\Spotify\Storage\ |*.*<<<see Update
Note: The registry entry is not as you expected neither will it be because Spotify needs it's users to help P2P the music pk's. The cache is very vital for premium accounts for offline listening as well as faster loading time if you need to replay a song. If deleted, you lose the music you wanted to keep. The only location I found Spotify to be now a days is in
APPLIES TO WINDOWS XP SP3! Windows Vista and Windows 7 needs to be verified. I do not have Vista nor 7. WARNING: The registry is very sensitive and not recommended to tinker with please!
HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\spotify<<install directory
HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\Spotify.m4a<< file association
HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\Spotify.m4p<< file association
HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\Spotify.mp3<< file association
HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\Spotify.mp4<< file association
(folders marked 'file association' are for local media playback. Spotify will not stream local media. local media is the .mp3's .ogg's, .wma's, .aac's, etc NOT the .file files in the Spotify cache!)
Maybe changing the line 2 to read:
Detect=HKCR\spotify\
might work?
Update 2 minutes later: I changed the registry entry to HKCR\spotify\. Ccleaner detected it but only seeing 119kb for cleaning. Something is wrong with FileKey1= line for it to detect all files and folders in Spotify\Storage directory in which mine is shy of 1 gb of data. It is seeing the index.dat file only. Same result after 5 presses of the analyze button.
Thats all i got for now. the FileKey part i cant remember how to make the right switch and I need some shut eye its 123am in central USA.
thanks and hopefully this will get us somewhere.
Edit: I cant sleep yet I have to say when you delete the Storage cache delete the folders inside Storage and the .dat file.
Thanks again
