Not a Spotify user myself, but a quick search produced this solution to stop their updates. Old versions are available for download if you look around.
According to a community discussion on Spotify's user forum -
Go to C:/Users/<Name>/Appdata/Roaming/Spotify
1. Make a new empy text file
2. Name it Spotify_new.exe
3. Right click the file and make the file read only
1. Make a new empty text file
2. Name it Spotify_new.exe.sig
3. Right click the file and make the file read only
Spotify will not be able to update because it can't delete the files, because they are read only, all future upgrades will fail.
Let me know if this works for you.
