From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I don't know much about systemd, but i assume the file should be owned by root? It looks like it isn't, so try
chown root:root spotifyd.service
I’ll try that when i get back to it.
Nope, don't run Spotify as root. That's a bad idea.
I'm not sure spotifyd is just spotify (Edit: I checked, its some kind of spotify client meant to be run as a daemon? No idea what permissions that needs)
And the user that executes a service isn't determined by who owns the service file, there is a user option in the service config
