Do you really want the app? The web version could suit you just fine? I haven't gotten into trying wine yet.

What about using spotify on your phone instead?

well if you have your laptop too, just charge via USB while you listen :D

I don't have experience with Arch Linux... but you aren't root user right?

I don't know what kind of issues you are having building from AUR, but I only had to manually verify 2 GPG keys and everything went smoothly onwards. The commands I used were:

 

gpg --recv--key 5CC908FDB71E12C2 (this one took about 20 seconds)

gpg --lsign 5CC908FDB71E12C2

gpg --recv--key D9C4D26D0E604491

gpg --lsign D9C4D26D0E604491

 

Run them and try building spotify from AUR again ;)

it says this...

gpg: invalid option "--recv--key"
