I'd like to use Spotify with Ubuntu. I've had a look at the previous questions and answers and don't understand the language - sorry. Is it possible to have step by step instructions? I use Linux not through any desire to be a programer but more a sense of 'rebel forces against the evil empire' :-)

  • For recent arrivals who just want to listen to spotify on Ubuntu, there is a web client, play.spotify.com which works fine, however it does require a flash enabled browser. – Andrew M Mar 30 '16 at 13:41

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free"
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 94558F59
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install spotify-client

note:
this worked for Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr (April 20, 2014)

  • I suggest you copy (or even move) this answer to http://askubuntu.com/questions/7489/how-to-get-the-native-version-of-spotify-running as this offers a clearer and up-to-date solution. BTW it also worked for Ubuntu 14.10 ;-) – Sadi Apr 08 '15 at 11:10
