Muchos de nuestros desarrolladores que trabajan con Linux, evidentemente les gusta escuchar música mientras programan, y echando un vistazo a las peticiones que recibimos, parece que no son los únicos. Por lo tanto, presentamos con orgullo una versión preliminar de Spotify para Linux.
Desarrollada por nuestros fantásticos programadores durante “hack days” y noches de insomnio, esta versión de Spotify comparte la mayoría de las características de nuestras versiones para Mac OS X y Windows. Sin embargo, lamentablemente hay algunas limitantes en cuanto a la decodificación de archivos de música locales en Linux, por lo tanto, no hemos incluido soporte para importar tus archivos locales en esta versión.
Por ser una versión preliminar, no ofrecemos soporte oficial, pero ya que estamos utilizándola nosotros mismos intentaremos que se mantenga a la par de las versiones para Windows y Mac. Como aún no hemos encontrado una manera segura e idónea de mostrar la publicidad, la versión para Linux sólo está disponible para suscriptores de Spotify Premium.
Asi qué, ¿cómo consigues Spotify para Linux? La hemos compilado en paquetes para Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu 10.04 package.
Esperamos que la disfrutes tanto como nosotros, ¡y sigue enviando tus ideas y sugerencias!

That is some nice news.
OMG YES HOLY SHIT!
Oh yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees, i can't believe it! What a great news!
Your awesomeness never seems to end. Keep up the amazing work!
AWESOME! You guys just made my day! Could you please compile it for ARM? I would love to use it on my N900!
¡OH! Great news. Thanks for this :)
On ubuntu 10.04 I get this error: spotify-client-gnome-support: Depends: gconf2 (>= 2.28.1-2) but 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
I get the same problem as reemco Please provide a solution :)
First, thank you so much for spending the time and effort to create a native Linux client. However, you say that it's only available to Spotify Premium because of the lack of Ad support. If this is the case, can the requirement be dropped to your Spotify Unlimited? As this is also Ad free.
Fantastic news!
Ohhhh i love you :)
You don't NEED the gnome-support package for it to work. Just get the other package, and run spotify from the command line. Works great, though the taskbar shows weird characters for song titles because it doesn't render the dash properly. Thanks muchly :)
Where do you report bugs? Is there a separate category in the forums? Haven't checked yet.
=] Muchly needed.
Brilliant, well done Spotify!
this is a beautiful thing...
Great news! Thank you!
On ubuntu 10.04 I get this error: spotify-client-gnome-support: Depends: gconf2 (>= 2.28.1-2) but 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
Oh happy day!
Really cool, and definitely worth renewing my Premium subscription for. Thanks!!
No need to install spotify-client-gnome-support! Just run spotify in terminal $ spotify
*nerdgasm* OK, will not put off getting premium now. So effing right. Been waiting for this.
Oh, cool! You are gonna have +1 premium user :)
There is now a category on getsatisfaction where you can post feedback: http://www.getsatisfaction.com/spotify/products/spotify_spotify_linux
Thank you!!!
Wow, I'm so going to try this out today!
Sweet! :D
I've been running it under wine successfully for a few months now. (Mandriva)
Great news! BTW, your cert is currently invalid!
I have also been running it under wine. Nice to see you guys actually working on it for linux. Shame about the gconf2 2.28.1-2 requirement considering 10.04 doesn't actually ship with that version, makes me wonder wtf you guys are running.
Wonderfulllll !!!!
The spotify-client-gnome-support package installs binding that allows you to click on Spotify links in your webbrowser. It seems the dependency is incorrect for ubuntu. You should be able to ignore it for now, but we looking to update the packages as soon as possible.
I was just about to cancel my subscription, then I saw this :) (Not that it works yet, but I'll hang around for another month in hope... I get an "Illegal instruction" error with no other output; using Ubuntu 10.04 on a 32-bit Pentium M, CPU flags are "fpu vme de pse tsc msr mce cx8 mtrr pge mca cmov clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 tm pbe up bts est tm2". As a random guess, are you using SSE3/4 instructions?)
Fantastic news!
This. Is. Awesome.
Is there any support for multimedia keys? That's the one feature I was missing from the wine version, but great work on a native linux version!
i want free premium!!
Oh sweet.
ooooooo it's awesome!
Jess!!! Thanx!!! :D
Can't you please release it in a regular compressed format instead of a distribution-specific package? I've been wanting this for ages but I don't run Debian and I sure as heck won't run Ubuntu. Of course it's possible to get and use the .deb-file on other distributions in various ways, but it's not very convenient.
\o/
great news, but can't you add a tarball as well? for all the non-debian/ubuntu users? not that the .deb can't be extracted, but still..
Hi, thanks for linux support. btw, it segfault on my ubuntu jaunty. here the backtrace: http://pastebin.com/uzQYGXHH
This is great news! I was thinking about getting a premium, now I'll definitly do it!
Ohh joy! I'm so happy! I've waited this so much! And it doesn't matter at all that it's only for premium, cos I'm on premium anyway! You guys rock!
Great news! Upgrading my to premium asap!
Shitloads of awesome! God, I've been waiting for this.
ruskie@ruskie-desktop:~$ spotify Illegal instruction
Thanks guys, much nicer than running it under Wine.
