My Question or Issue
So, I can't install Spotify on my Debian system. I've tried even other websites outside of spotify.com. Though none seem to work. All I get is an error that says that it failed to locate the package:
sudo apt-get install spotify-client
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
N: Ignoring file 'spotify.lis' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
E: Unable to locate package spotify-client
Thank You!

That is not true.

The output you provided indicates that your package manager is ignoring the repo you added because the filename should end in .list not .lis
$ sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.lis /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install spotify-client
I would encourage moving away from the apt packaged version to the snap version if you can, since it been the preferred release for a couple of years now.
If you decide to install the snap app, you will need to first install snapd and then spotify:
$ sudo apt install snapd
$ sudo snap install spotify
