So, I did all that and then I tried once again to get Spotify to install without errors, but It still can't find the .dll file.
I posted a picture: https://postimg.cc/wRLyFTyb and added a comment about this in the PlayOnLinux forum under Spotify: https://www.playonlinux.com/en/app-386.html I think I give up. Other people have been having this issue for a while. Thanks oodles for your help. I did not know about adding the i386 to dpkg before you told me about it.
