Spotify on Ubuntu
Yes folks, it’s the craze that’s sweeping the nation (well the ‘tinterweb), it’s fun, it’s funky, it’s Spotify!
It’s like a version of Last.FM that plays the actual songs you want to hear and what’s more, the app works with Ubuntu.
OK, so it’s not a native app, but at least the developers haven’t totally omitted the good old Linux user. Until they see the error of their ways and release a Linux client, they have at least bothered to provide some pretty lengthy instructions here.
Want the simple version?
1. Download the setup file
2. Install Wine
sudo apt-get install wine
3. Run Wine Config wincfg
4. Click the audio tab in Wine Config
5. Click OK
6. Open a terminal and type
wine “Spotify Installer.exe”
Easy as pie.
