Hey there,
So I upgraded to the new Zorin OS 17.3 and tired to install Spotify on it, it didn't worked at all. I tried every method possible, it wasn't fixing the issue at all. I already had the same problem on 17.2 but my friend helped me out. Unfortunately this time, even his method didn't worked.
Can somebody help me out please ?
How are you trying to install Spotify? Some errors (if available) with a screenshot would also help, as those lead us in a correct direction as well.
I know it's not ideal for a lot of people, but you could also be able to use a browser window and go to Spotify that way.

Spotify offers an officially Repo what you can add. It is described here:
Look at ''Debian/Ubuntu''. You could try it with that.

I'm trying to install it from the Software Store, the terminal using the commands "sudo apt install spotify" or "sudo Flatpak install spotify". It doesn't work. When I launch it from the terminal it says that it fails to load some GTK module and that the core is dumped.
I also tried using a dedicated browser window using Chrome (I couldn't find it on Brave) but when I have more than two audio sources (ex. I have both of Spotify and Youtube opened in separated windows) Chrome confuses betwen which one to play and it crashes. This is why it is not that a good solution for me.
I'll see if it solves the issue, thanks.
Hey! You solve it? I had the same issue
I wonder what the solution was.... same prob here!
Many posts for troubleshooting recommend this:
If the Deb version of Spotify crashes on opening, try launching it from the terminal as follows:
spotify --no-zygote
