The fantastic music streaming service Spotify has been ported to the open source Linux – it’s not the full fat version that many of us know and love on from the PC or Mac.
So it will only work for people who have a premium subscription as this version doesn’t come with the built-in advertising. But it’s a start.
Spotify’s Andres Sehr had this to say about the software “A lot of our developers are using Linux, obviously they want to listen to music while they’re coding away and looking at the feedback we get it appears that they’re not the only ones. So today we’re pretty happy to present a preview version of Spotify for Linux.
“Built by our brilliant developers during hack days and late nights, it shares most of the same features as our Windows and Mac OS X desktop applications.”
Head over to Spotify’s preview page where they’ve collated the first release as a Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu 10.04 package.
