I've never had any issues playing music on a 10 year old laptop

Pretty sure anything capable from the Windows XP era onwards could play an MP3.

Whether it run the bloated Chromium mess that the Spotify client is, is another matter.

Hell, my winME lappy could do it withour breaking a sweat.

A 486 at 33MHz struggled but you could definitely do MP3 on any Pentium or higher.

I played MP3s on a 486DX4 100MHz. Barely. If anything else happened in the background, it would stutter.

I use Windows media player 8 to play music on my netbook from 2009. Works just fine

Yeah I was about to say I can play music on a single core Atom in an Acer Aspire One from 2008.
