Spotify

Spotify is a swedish music streaming service.

It has apps in mobile and windows / mac and linux clients. It’s the last one of these that this guide will show you how to install.

How to Install Spotify Via Repository in Ubuntu

Open Software Sources via the Unity Dash.

Select the ‘Other Software’ tab in Software Sources

Click ‘Add’ and paste the following the entry field of the box that appears:

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

Click ‘Add Source’ to confirm the change, then close Software Sources.

Add the Spotify Repository Key

The next step is to add the repository key to verify that packages installed from this PPA are by whom they say.

Open a new Terminal window

Paste the following, then hit return/enter:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 94558F59

That’s that! You can now install Spotify through the Ubuntu Software Center or synaptics (after checking for software updates first) or by running the following command in the Terminal window:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install spotify-client

Once installed you can launch Spotify from the Unity Dash or the classicmenu indicator.
