@Wowfunhappy yes, but the 10.5 - 10.10 versions require an email ID and password login, they don't have the Facebook, Google, etc login options.

Here's Spotify on my 10.11 MacBook Air:

Hmm... people in a github discussion can't seem to get the pre-10.11 clients working. If there's anything about your setup that might be unique @sdfox7, please share!

Spotify has been DOA for us 10.5 PowerPC folks for several years at this point. If you have some secret sauce to get these old clients to connect, you are indeed a legend (and we'd love to know your secrets) =)

Spotify requires the WideVine plugin, which hasn't been supported on PowerPC in years. Update WideVine, and you should be good to go. When I have a chance I'll test 10.7-10.10.

Thanks to the Internet Archive, I've located old versions of Spotify. Hope this may be handy for you.

Spotify for Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6:

Spotify for OS X 10.7 to 10.10, click here:

Spotify for OS X 10.11 to current, click here: https://www.spotify.com/de-en/download/other/
Unfortunately they've shut down any Spotify version released before 2021: https://community.spotify.com/t5/De...ode-22-Version-1-0-89-313/td-p/5581705/page/5

So I think that's any version before 10.11.
