I find I can just go into the settings and change my country, and Spotify will happily accept this. My GeoIP nor my credit card's country seems to have had an effect on the content in my library.

This is one of the joys of Spotify compared to other services I use, where it just accepts that I want the experience of the country I select, and not something arbitrary like an IP or a credit card (like Netflix, Steam).

It's not possible through all types of accounts though: https://support.spotify.com/uk/article/How-can-I-change-my-c...

I checked now and it's asking me to change my payment method to change my locale. Makes sense on a level I guess, since I'm paying ~£4 instead of £10 due to currency differences.
