I recently started using i3 (my first WM), and I used to use Plasma. In Plasma, when Spotify was opened, I just went to my system tray and there was a Spotify icon, which if I right clicked it, it let me close Spotify to system tray.

In i3 the only tray icons are the programs that are actually in the tray (Steam, e.g), so I cannot "close it to tray" as in Plasma.

Since you mentioned high GPU usage, instead of the official app, why not use a lightweight TUI client like spotify_player?

You can also run it in the background using the --daemon flag if you wanted to.
