Song not available on Linux client

kearnmachine — Thu, 02 Nov 2017 11:37:27 GMT

Your device and operating system: Antergos fully upgraded
Type of Spotify account you have (Free/ Premium): Premium
The app version of Spotify you’re using: 1.0.66.478-1
Brief description of the issue: Cannot listen to Radiohead - In Rainbows and - Hail to the Thief
Steps to reproduce the issue:

search rad
open Radiohead
scroll down to 'In Rainbows' and play it
Blue bar on top with the message: 'This song is not available. If you have the file on your computer you can import it.'
Playback stops and nothing else happens
I tried reinstalling and clearing cache

6. Attach the spotify-dump.txt ( $HOME/spotify-dump.txt ) from Advanced troubleshooting

/usr/share/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify)
/usr/share/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3: no version information available (required by /usr/share/spotify/spotify)
/proc/self/exe: /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3: no version information available (required by /proc/self/exe)

nothing else happens when the error occurs - no error output, nothing in journalctl

I had the same problem but i manage to fix it by disableling the local files in settings.

This really shouldn't be a thing.

I had the same problem wtih the version I downloaded from Ubuntu Software. I had to rollback to a previous version (1.0.69.336.g7edcc575).
I typed the following command line to install the previous version:
sudo apt-get install spotify-client
