Installing Spotify Premium on Ubuntu 11.10

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install spotify-client

Should do it. It installs the client, not just for premium, it works with free too.

Sorry about ALL this rubbish below, but repeated the inputs in terminal.

We are can SEE Spotify although we seem it the latest update

help please

Thanks very much for your help

Richard

Was the update command smooth? No errors?

Hurray IT WORKED

June now has Spotify

Thanks to you

Richard

If you are adding stuff to the file. Look at what you are adding. Blindly copying and pasting txt to random files will make issues like this

Yes I see.

I should not have added:-

apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4E9CFF4E

To source file..it that right?

Indeed, that is a command to import a key to authenticate the new software source.

Sorry to be a nuisance again, but i am stuck.....
