Hi! Thanks for your future help! Here's my problem: For now the default app used when I click on "Ecouter de la musique" is Rhythmbox but I want to use spotify instead. Do you know a way to do this? Thanks guys!

Settings...Details...Default applications
Sorry, I wasn't at home. So I tried this, but It didn't change the app. Moreover, spotify isn't in the list. There are only GNOME Mpv and rythmbox. I set it to gnome mpv but it still open rythmbox. So I think it's not the way it should be done. Thanks for your future help!
looking at the code, it seems like it starts the default application for playing Ogg Vorbis audio files. I don't think Spotify can do that, so I'm guessing there's no way to set it at the moment?
(apologies if I'm wrong here...)
Is there a way to maybe change the code?
EDIT: Kind of a newbie question ^^
EDIT 2: I read spotify is using OGG Vorbis in order to play th songs. Is it the same?

No, it's a proprietary application. You can't set it because Spotify isn't a file handler for local files.
Ok I guess, I can't do it. Thanks for your help guys, keep doing good work! ^^
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
search the line that starts with audio/x-vorbis=
add spotify.desktop
to the list; e.g. audio/x-vorbis=spotify.desktop;vlc.desktop;rhythmbox.desktop;io.github.GnomeMpv.desktop;
Enter Settings->Details->Default Applications
Choose Spotify for music, log out, log back in again, voilá
edit: Note that this is a hack, and opening actual .ogg files with Spotify doesn't work, so only use this if you're aware of the consequences
It is working very great! I am very thankful.
