How to use Spotify in linux



There is no supported version of Spotify on Linux, However,Spotify released a preview version which is still in a development process. 


Spotify support says:

We are running this ourselves and we will try to make sure it keeps pace with its Mac and Windows siblings. However, this version is unsupported.

Basically, this preview build is for Debian OS. Therefore, it should work on the latest Ubuntu 14.04.

Installation process:

# 1. Add the Spotify repository signing key to be able to verify downloaded packages:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys D2C19886

# 2. Add the Spotify repository:
echo deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list

# 3. Update list of available packages:
sudo apt-get update

# 4. Install Spotify:
sudo apt-get install spotify-client

Spotify also works to update the version and to give support in all Linux distribution.
