Removed link, not allowed to post links to download packages outside spotify site. Let me know if you have any problems! This has worked for me on OS X 10.8.2. Restart Spotify and enjoy 0.8.5 without auto updates to 0.8.8.You should now see a small lock icon on each file.Check the "Locked" button on each and close the info window.Right click each file and go to "Get Info".Make two blank documents and save them as "Spotify_new.archive" and "Spotify_" - without the quotes, the same file names as the ones you deleted.Now open your favorite text editor, I used TextWrangler.Delete Spotify_new.archive and Spotify_ (if they are there).Go to your ~/Library folder - you can do this in Finder by doing shift+cmd+g and typing "~/Library" without the quotes and hitting enter.Now to make sure Spotify doesn't auto-update:.Mount the image and replace the application in your Applications folder with the downloaded one.If you already have upgraded to 0.8.8: (if you haven't upgraded already, start with step #3) Hopefully it will help some people who visit the forum. Spotify support has NOT provided a way for us to do this, despite my many attempts. Here is a guide to reverting to 0.8.5 for Mac.

The " Horrible update " thread has begun to bury the work arounds for those of us NOT happy with the 0.8.8 update. 0.8.5.133 also runs MUCH faster on my Windows and Mac machines. Attached is a screenshot of 0.8.5.133 artist pages, clean, simple, cohesive, text a bit small, and SEARCH function still in tact. Also, APPS continue to work in these previous version. I have successfully used this trick to revert to 0.9.15.27 and 0.8.5.133. Just replace the application with the desired version, 0.8.5 or otherwise. UPDATE 3/14/15: This solution works for reverting to ANY previous version of Spotify.
