Preventing Spotify Crashes in the Linux Client Preview

This may only be relevant for Fedora users. Anyway, after I’ve run the Spotify client preview for some time, it crashes without a good explanation why. After a crash the client won’t run again until the cache is cleared.

$ rm -rf ~/.cache/spotify

It’s likely that you can be more fine-grained when clearing the cache. I haven’t investigated it much, but it may be sufficient to remove ~/.cache/spotify/Storage. Note that the cache directory is configurable in Edit→Preferences….
