Hey Luchrioh.

Thanks for reaching out to the Spotify Community.

We're marking this as "Not an Issue" right now, as we don't officially support Linux. But one of our Community members has posted this thread with some helpful info.

ok time to fix it 🙂 I mean not only are you proprietary, but your software doesn't even work. I shall now stop using spotify because you wasted an entire day for me.

Good luck resolving - or not resolving - the issue.
