Spotify is a digital music streaming service that contains a wide range of music in its catalog. It has over 40 million songs in its library, as was discussed in the introduction a while ago, ranging from old songs to the most exclusive and up-to-date releases. With the Spotify app, you can have access to different content from a lot of creators all over the world, you can enjoy different songs, playlists, and even podcasts.
Spotify has allowed as well its users to play the Spotify content for free even without a subscription to it. But of course, high chances of so many restrictions could be experienced like the downloading of contents and the limited skipping of the songs playing. With the free version of the Spotify app, you are forbidden as well to stream the songs offline. But anytime, you can upgrade your free version to a Premium account whenever you want to get away from the restrictions mentioned. But whether you are using the app for free or not, you can still experience the things I have listed below.
Below is the list of supported devices for Spotify.
The supported versions for Mac include the OS X 10.11 and above.
The supported versions for Mac include Windows 7 and above.
The supported versions for Android include Android OS 5.0 and above.
The supported versions for iOS include iOS 12 and above.
You should note that if you only have a single account, you are forbidden to use this on multiple devices. So, it is strictly one account per device. In addition to this, you can also have Spotify for Linux. Since this system is not actively supported by Spotify, you will notice some differences such as the way of installing the Spotify app into this type of device. But anyway, I have included here a separate section about how you can have Spotify for Linux. The appearance of the Spotify app’s main interface may differ a little as well.
You can also have Spotify songs accessible by just using the Spotify web player using your web browser. Below is the list of supported web browsers by Spotify.
Spotify permits you as well to enjoy your favorite Spotify songs on some gadgets that you currently have through the help of wireless connections such as Spotify Connect, Bluetooth, Alexa, Google Assistant, Chromecast, Apple AirPlay, and a lot more. The Spotify app can also be used in your TVs, cars, smartwatches, game consoles, and the like.
Be reminded that all of the content offered by Spotify can only be enjoyed and accessed through the devices and sites that are permitted by Spotify.
Since Spotify has just announced that it would be supporting Snap Package, it only means that if your device has been using Snap, then you can easily have the Spotify app installed on your device. So basically, if your Linux has been supporting Snap, then it will be so much convenient for you to have the application instantly.
The Spotify application appears as a Snap app in Software Center, so, those who are using Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 can directly have the Spotify app on their devices from this location. But what if your device does not support Snap Package?
If there is no Snap in your device, you can directly install it through the command “Sudo apt-get install snapd”. After doing so, install the Spotify snap app by using the command of “sudo snap install Spotify”.
Once the Spotify Snap app was successfully installed in your Linux, it will be listed already on your device’s application menu. When you open the Snap app, you may be required to fill in some Spotify details so that you can proceed in signing in with your Spotify account. You may still use your Facebook account or any account of yours that you have linked into it in logging in with the Spotify Snap app.
The Spotify Snap app actually works well with Ubuntu. The only issue here is that in the sound menu, you would not successfully locate the media control option. This means that you have to utilize the media keys incorporated in your Linux in order to control the songs. You may use the media keys of your system to control the songs or to play them or pause them.
In this method, the first thing that you have to do in order to have Spotify for Linux is to open a terminal through the shortcut key “Ctrl+Alt+T” and then input the command “sudo sh -c ‘echo “deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free” and then “/etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list’”. The input of these commands will make the repository added to the sources list of the software.
Now, it is time to check whether you have curl installed in your Ubuntu system. If you still do not have the mentioned, then you can install curl through the command “sudo apt install curl”. Once you already have curled in your Ubuntu system, it is now time to have as well the GPG key of the Spotify repository that you just added into the Spotify sources list a while ago. You cannot skip this step because your Ubuntu system must trust the repository you added.
The next thing that you have to do is to download the Spotify app on your Linux. You can make this possible through the help of the command “curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add –“. Then right after that, you only have to update the Spotify app installed. You can update the Spotify clients through the command “sudo apt update sudo apt install spotify-client”.
Once the Spotify app is successfully installed in your Ubuntu, you may now start enjoying the same features of your Spotify application. You first have to search for the Spotify app in the Unity Dash of Ubuntu. And just like the previous way, it really works well with your Linux.
If you do not want to install Spotify for Linux, then there is one way that I could suggest for you to still be able of syncing the songs to your Linux. You may use the notable converter “TuneSolo Spotify Music Converter” in downloading the Spotify songs using another device and then transferring them into your Linux once the download was done. But before we tackle the steps to follow in having Spotify for Linux, let us discuss first the features of TuneSolo Spotify Music Converter.

With just simple steps to follow, you can easily download Spotify for Linux via TuneSolo Spotify Music Converter. This is like the indirect way of having Spotify for Linux, what is important is that you get to enjoy the songs through the help of a third-party tool.
The bad side here is that nowadays you could not completely say that the Spotify application could work the best in your Linux. Currently, there are no announced and introduced Linux developers that can help in fixing Spotify bugs and issues. So, if ever that you encounter problems with your Spotify application installed on your Linux device, it would be a worry for sure. It is much better to use TuneSolo Spotify Music Converter to have Spotify for Linux.
