[SOLVED] How to run spotify adblocker with spotify

Hi! Newbie here. I just installed spotify from the aur. I recently found a great adblocker for spotify in the aur. I want the adblock application to execute whenever I launch the spotify application. Is there a way to do it ?

Moving to AUR issues.   How to you run them now?  If from the command line, just create a script or an alias.   If from a .Desktop file, you would need to customize that file.

How do I create a script and in which directory should I create it ?

Spotify Adblock ships with a desktop file that does exactly this, is this not what you want? Other than that, the way to invoke it from the commandline by looking at said desktop file would be

env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/spotify-adblock.so spotify
