The old solutions of installing ffmpeg-compat-57 package doesn't work. This comment on AUR suggests downgrading some other packages: <A href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spotify/#comment-760305" target="_blank">https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spotify/#comment-760305</A> But no way I gonna downgrade packages just for spotify.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I suspect this problem won't be temporary. I mean, the linux version of spotify is rarely updated. Unless the fault lies on the ffmpeg library.</P> Wed, 12 Aug 2020 04:25:25 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux/Local-files-not-working-even-with-ffmpeg-compat-57/m-p/5015606#M19810 cHDMmFRE 2020-08-12T04:25:25Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/Desktop-Linux/Local-files-not-working-even-with-ffmpeg-compat-57/m-p/5248235#M20630 <P>Were you ever able to find a solution to this besides downgrading?
