The official BlockTheSpot config.ini names the Spotify version it was written for, 1.2.83.461 at the time of our check. The project does not publish a broader compatibility table in the sources we reviewed. To check compatibility, compare your installed Spotify version with that header. A match is the best case. A mismatch may still work, but it is the most likely cause of a patch that has stopped working.
BlockTheSpot's official README says the mod is for the Spotify desktop application on Windows, 64-bit, and not the Microsoft Store version. It also says "Last tested version: see config.ini". That line points you to the config file rather than listing versions in the README itself. The config.ini header is therefore the only version statement the official files make in the sources we reviewed.
At the time of our check, the header of the repository's config.ini reads Spotify for Windows (64 bit) and names the version 1.2.83.461. That is the build the file was written against. It is the reference point for every compatibility question on this page.
BlockTheSpot relies on signature-based edits. A signature is a sequence of bytes or text that the patch searches for inside Spotify's files, and an offset tells it which byte to change relative to that signature. Signatures depend on the exact code of a build. If Spotify changes that code, the signature may no longer match, and the edit is not applied. That is why the version named in the config matters, and why a different build can behave differently even when the files are copied correctly.
A match is not a guarantee. The header names the version the file was written for, and other details may still need checking. Think of a match as the best starting point, not a promise.
If your Spotify build is newer than the one named in config.ini, the patch may still work for some features and fail for others. The features most likely to fail are the ones whose signatures moved most. If your build is older, the situation is less common, but the same logic applies: the file was written for a specific build, and any other build is untested by that file.
Do not assume a mismatch is harmless, and do not assume it is fatal. Test on a backup of the original files, check each feature you care about, and keep the originals so you can restore a clean state.
Many sites publish long lists of "works on version X" claims. We have not found a verified, maintained compatibility table for BlockTheSpot in the official sources, and we do not want to invent one. Presenting a list of builds as tested, when we have not tested them, would mislead you. The honest approach is to report the one version the official file names, explain how to compare, and point you to the live status page for what has changed.
The official repository is archived, which means the owner is not publishing new releases there. The latest release, 2026.02.12, was published on 11 February 2026. A Spotify build released after that may not have a matching release, unless someone publishes one elsewhere. That is the main compatibility consideration in October 2026, and it is why this page points to the status information rather than a long list of versions.
If you test a build and share the result, record your Spotify version, the config.ini version you used, the release tag, the features that worked, and the ones that did not. Clear reports are far more useful than general impressions, and they help other people make a decision. The project's Discord server is where the community discusses this.
The one version the official files name is 1.2.83.461, in the config.ini header, at the time of our check. Compare your build with that number, test before you rely on a mismatch, and keep the originals. Because the repository is archived, there is no active stream of matching releases, so check the status page before you decide.
This page will change when a verified fact changes: when the config.ini header names a different Spotify version, when a new official release is published, or when the repository's status changes. We will not add a version to a list unless it has been checked against a verified source. Each update will carry a new check date at the top.
If you test a build and want to share the result, a useful report includes the exact Spotify version, the config.ini version, the release tag, the features you tested, the features that worked, and the features that did not. Stating what you did not test is just as useful as stating what you did.
To find out whether the current release matches your build, check the live status and the latest version page. After any Spotify update, the update guide gives the steps to follow, and the config.ini guide explains where the tested version is named.
The official config.ini header names the Spotify version the file was written for, which was 1.2.83.461 at the time of our check. The project does not publish a full compatibility table in the sources we reviewed, so treat that header as the only version the project states.
It may work, but nothing we checked confirms it. Because the official repository is archived, there are no new published releases to match a newer build. Test on a backup, keep the originals, and be prepared to revert.
Look for the About or version information in the desktop app's settings. The menu name changes between releases, so search the settings for version details rather than relying on a fixed path.
