Cannot start spotifyd.service

All my ducks seem to be in order and the correct configs in the right place. But i keep getting this message. As you can see the file exists. It is not empty, but systemctl cannot find it. Any help would be very very appreciated.

I don't know much about systemd, but i assume the file should be owned by root? It looks like it isn't, so try
chown root:root spotifyd.serviceI’ll try that when i get back to it.
Nope, don't run Spotify as root. That's a bad idea.
I'm not sure spotifyd is just spotify (Edit: I checked, its some kind of spotify client meant to be run as a daemon? No idea what permissions that needs)
And the user that executes a service isn't determined by who owns the service file, there is a user option in the service config
