Thanks for this solution. Very much appreciated.

I had this same problem on Linux native client.

For anybody else with the same issue, I did the following:

• shutdown spotify (if running)

• open a terminal and type in the following in your home directory (Ubuntu 14.04, check your own locations)

            ~$ rm -rf ~/.config/spofity/

            ~$ rm -rf ~/.cache/spotify/

• restart spotify and login as usual

Worked for me. Good luck.
