FAQ:

Q: What is a TBZ file?
A: TBZ is a Bzip2 compressed TAR file. Spotify packages their macOS desktop client updates in this format.

Q: Why is a script needed to download or install a TBZ file?
A: It's not, but handling the archive is not as simple as the usual macOS app installation methods.

Q: How can I manually install a TBZ instead?
A: Delete your current Spotify.app/Contents/ directory, move TBZ file into Spotify.app and extract (if a previous Spotify.app doesn't exist, create a new directory and name it Spotify.app).
