My Question or Issue

Spotify keeps saying "Spotify can't play this right one. If you have file on the computer please import it now" when playing local files.

Essentially the system package version of spotify is missing libraries, while the flatpak version is not. So if you download the latest flathub package and copy the libraries, you can easily fix the install.
