Bug Report: Spotify client crashes with Segmentation fault while trying to play specific song

Bug Report: Spotify client crashes with Segmentation fault while trying to play specific song

Hi, I have a strange bahaviour with the latest Spotify client under Debian stretch /kernel 4.5.0-2. 
Whenever I try to play a specific song - "1,2,3,4 from the Plain White T's" the client crashes instantly with Segmentation fault. It happens every time. All other songs I have tried work completely fine. What I do to reproduce it is I search for "Plain White T's", than choose the song and attempt to play it. Nothing else. I have a log of what is happening and can provide it if it is secure to do so (there are some addresses and presumably hashes which I believe are safe to share but I will be happier if I hear it from you). Log is from standart out. 
Also I tried playing the song from my phone to the desktop client - same thing happens.

If you need any more information, I will be happy to provide it!

Hey @vkonov,

 

Have you tried clearing the cache, so the song gets downloaded again?

Yes, it was one of the first things I found when I searched for similar problems. Forgot to mention it in the original post. I deleted the ~/.cache/spotify directory but the problem persisted. 

I made a 

rm -rf ~/.cache/spotify*

and it seems to work fine
