after updating from 13.10 to 14.04 from LiveCD my Spotify installation dissapeared.

I tried to install it as before by following Spotify guide and entering these commands:

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

but all I get is this error:

dominic@dominic-MS-7592:~$ sudo apt-add-repository -y "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free" &&
> sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 94558F59 &&
> sudo apt-get update -qq &&
> sudo apt-get install spotify-client

You need edit the sourcelist file:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/source.list

Comment the Spotify line:

## Spotify
#deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free

And add this line:

deb http://repository-origin.spotify.com stable non-free

Save and exit

Update&&Upgrade

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

I believe the Spotify server is broken at this moment. The packages for Spotify are in repository.spotify.com/dists/stable, not in repository.spotify/dists/trusty. That is why apt-get can't find them. I have Spotify running happily, but when I do a sudo apt-get install --reinstall spotify-client I get the same 404 errors.
As of this moment, the URL http://repository.spotify.com/dists redirects to http://repository-origin.spotify.com/dists, which to me suggests that someone over at Spotify is busy moving things around.
Currently, I can't even find any .deb files to manually download.

I got the same exact error messages. I am running 32-bit Ubuntu 14.04. What worked for me was to update the public key for spotify-client:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys D2C19886

Then sudo apt-get update --fix-missing

The --fix-missing may be redundant or unnecessary, but apt-get suggested it while I was doing many updates to my computer.

I'm not an expert on the matter, but it worked. I thought it was an issue with updating the spotify package itself, but it turned out I already had the most updated version.

In your case, with a fresh install, and possibly loosing the spotify package (or whatever happened), I would suggest what elgastelum advised, and update the sourcelist file before reinstalling or updating:

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

I hope my advice isn't confusing or 'off the mark'. I don't know everything but what I do know I try to share. Cheers and good luck!
