A lot of our developers are using Linux, obviously they want to listen to music while theyre coding away and looking at the feedback we get it appears that theyre not the only ones. So today were 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. Unfortunately, there are issues regarding decoding of local music on the Linux platform so we havent included support for local files in this version.
As a preview release this version is still unsupported, but were running it ourselves and will try to make sure it keeps pace with its Mac and Windows siblings. As we havent found a reliable way to display ads yet, this version is only available to Spotify Premium subscribers.
So how do you get it? Head over to our preview page where weve packaged the first release as Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu 10.04 package.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do, and please keep the feedback coming!
