I haven't looked at the code but I would be surprised if the premium account "requirement" is anything more than an if statement that can be commented out.

Pretty sure that requirement is server-side?

What do you mean? You can still stream any song with a free account. It's just that there will be ads. Additionally, in mobile apps, there will be ridiculous artificial limitations to make sure your experience is as miserable as it could possibly be.

My understanding is that the premium requirement is there to avoid having the repo taken down.

		My understanding, based on a related comment in this thread, was that premium accounts get higher quality; in that case, I figured any such checks would be server-side. If you were referring to a separate check in the above repo's code, my mistake.
