If you do that, go the extra mile and schedule a (weekly or so) job to vacuum that database.

Also, since you are on a Mac, I would use launchd jobs and make it less brute-force by scheduling the job changing the file on writes to the Applications/Spotify.app/Contents/MacOS/ directory.

It's beyond me, why doesn't Spotify do exactly the same thing instead of overusing the VACUUM command.
