Please make sure to import the correct GPG key first:

$ curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey_C85668DF69375001.gpg | gpg --import -

And always build in a clean chroot. It is as easy as:

pacman -S devtools
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/spotify.git
cd spotify
pkgctl build
pacman -U <path-to-spotify-package>

It is expected that the package will break now and then, as spotify continuously changes download binaries, gpg keys etc (which is not appropriate, but we cannot change this). Please be patient if an update does not occur the next day, you can still use an existing spotify install or update the version yourself.

@lightofpast Just pushed v1:1.2.20.1210-2 that now allows you to set custom launch flags in a spotify-flags.conf file under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or ~/.config :)

Had the same issue as @spindyckx and @thiagomei but was able to fix it by deleting the cache with rm -rf $HOME/.cache/spotify.

Having the same issue as @spindyckx. I downgraded to 1.2.8.923 but it also did not work, indicating it's not an issue with the packages(?).
