arm64 support

[fuseteam]

with the rise of linux on arm devices, including apple silicon but also mobile linux distros. it would be great to be able to install spotify.I noticed there are a number of posts of it some of them dating back to 2018, but none of them seem to be in the idea section (maybe the reason it hasn't been picked up yet?):

Running Ubuntu om my (ARM) Dell XPS 13. Looking for Spotify on it!

Since there already is a ARM version for Mac, please add a Linux ARM build.

Just got my Pi500 setup and sad to find Spotify isn't an option on it.  YouTube runs fine on it, but I would much rather be using my Spotify Premium on it.

Yes please!

We really need arm64 builds, please

Spotify doesn't run on my MacBook Pro M2 Linux laptop, even though ARM versions exist for almost all other programs. It's a shame that Spotify still doesn't support Linux on ARM64.

If anyone is interested I found out that competitor playback audio in Firefox on AArch64 even without any browser plugins. It's just works. There is also community-made client available for AArch64 too. It's 100% native to the point of using GTK and even working on PostmarketOS.

I don't think Spotify would ever make investment to reach such level of Linux and AArch64 support.

@RusNecroMancer, what alternative?

It's not perfect, but I'm using the third-party client Psst (jpochyla/psst on GitHub). At least until an official AArch64 client comes along.
