I ended up finding a solution on this thread!

 

On windows7, it consisted in deleting the cache folder:

C:\Users\Your_username\AppData\Local\Spotify\storage

 

Then spotify started, and stayed open!

Try downloading the new version that was just announced

https://news.spotify.com/2015/02/26/desktop-with-lyrics-musixmatch/

Mac: http://download.spotify.com/beta/SpotifyInstaller.zip
PC: http://download.spotify.com/beta/SpotifySetup.exe

You may notice a few features are missing in the new version and Spotify hopes to bring some of those back in a future update.

 

Does it work for you?

Windows 7 no idea what version, i just redownloaded this morning, im in the US

-- Operating system(s) affected: Windows 7 64 bit

-- Version of Spotify: 0.9.1.53.g876fa9df

-- Country: USA

 

Edit: At the moment at least it's working again. Perhaps ungracefully quiting without any sort of error message isn't the best way to handle whatever this error was in the future?

I've noticed several threads about this on the community! Can't test though, as I'm at school...

I am experiencing this on windows 7, Latest version (just reinstalled the program), USA

 

Edit:  Works fine on iPhone 5 running iOS 7 Beta 2

 

Edit 2: Was able to start it again... let's hope it keeps working!!! Thanks for the fast response guys!!
