This is likely the following bug in librespot: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/1521 It has been fixed in librespot 0.7.1, which has already landed in audio/spotify-player, but not in spotifyd or spotify-qt. Simply adding 0.0.0.0 apresolve.spotify.com to /etc/hosts has has worked for me in the past few weeks, though.
