Spotify excessively writing to drive
I had to go through a lot of comments in that thread to find a working workaround.<p><i>On OS X, Open /Applications/Spotify.app/Contents/MacOS/Spotify in a hex editor.</i><p><i>Search for "VACUUM;" Replace with "xxxxxx;"</i><p>On Windows, apparently the key "VACUUM;" string is in libcef.dll but I don't have a Windows system to see if editing it the same way provides a workaround like on OS X.<p>I used hexcurse from homebrew. After opening the file hit tab once to switch to the ASCII side, Control-F to search for VACUUM;, then type "x" six times to overwrite each character. Quit and save.<p>EDIT: fixes
