Spotify have brought out a native Linux client (finally!) and I can report that it works great.

However, the installation instructions are a little sparse - here are some easier ones:

First you need to add the spotify repository. Here are some proper instructions on how to add repositories: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Lucid#Add_Extra_Repositories

Basically though, you need to edit (as sudo) this file: /etc/apt/sources.list


sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

at the bottom of the file paste in this line and save the file:


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

Now open a terminal window (applications, accessories, terminal) and run the following:


gpg --keyserver wwwkeys.de.pgp.net --recv-keys 4E9CFF4E



gpg --export 4E9CFF4E |sudo apt-key add -



apt-get update



apt-get install spotify-client-qt spotify-client-gnome-support

That installs it, but as far as I could tell nothing is added to the menu. You can actually launch the app by opening a terminal and simply running:


spotify

You might decide to manually add this to the menu or create a custom launcher in your panel
