LG W1 Pro JDGBG Core 2 Duo, updated to 4 Gigs of RAM (very old machine but working)

Operating System

Linux Mint 21.1

I have both a premium account and many CDs. I did some high quality ripping for personal use using EAC to get .mp3s out of my CDs. I think I am legally entitled to play these files since I paid for the CDs, right? There is a number of missing songs in Spotify, that I want to play without having to handle my CDs. Spotify (latest version from Flatpack) lets me add a local source, then adds a playlist full of my local files. But I cannot play, due to error message according to topic title. Is this "ffmpeg"-file update still a solution under Mint 21.1? Or is this a copyright misunderstanding / issue? If ffmpeg-compat-57 is the solution to my problem, then I still do not know HOW exactly to install the currently working version of that strange file? Please help!

It happens due to a version mismatch between the Flatpak Sandbox and Spotify client. Should be fixed if you update the Flatpak, if the issue still persists follow: https://github.com/flathub/com.spotify.Client/issues/243#issuecomment-1566324372

So your idea is to update Flatpak itself? I never did this and have no clue...
