Recently installed Asahi Linux only to find that spotify isnt packaged for aarch64 (arm) and it wont play on your browser? Heres how to fix this:

tldr; install widevine, install chromium and play it there, optionally install as pwa

  1. Install widevine 
    1

    sudo widevine-installer
  2. Install chromium from dnf (IMPORTANT - NOT FROM FLATPAK) 
    1

    sudo dnf install chromium

  3. Login to the spotify web player in chromium

  4. Streaming should work now

  5. If you would like a desktop app just install spotify as a PWA (in the address bar far right - “install as app”)

  6. Done! Happy listening :)
