Spotify has been putting more effort into linux. The version I am
running has not crashed once. I also do NOT get any ads with my
free spotify account.<br>
<br>
They released version 0.9.4, a short blurb is here:

<div>I used to run Spotify, but it got unstable for me and I
didn't care enough to troubleshoot it. Many of the 'apps'
inside spotify run poorly or cause the spotify app to crash.
It seems like they worked on it for a while and then shelved
it.</div>

running spotify on linux?<br>

I had an xp vm so I registered for a free spotify account to
see what it was like. Liked the song selections so I did a
search for "spotify linux client" and found this page <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://news.spotify.com/us/2010/07/12/linux/"
target="_blank">http://news.spotify.com/us/2010/07/12/linux/</a>
that led me to this page <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.spotify.com/us/download/previews/"
target="_blank">https://www.spotify.com/us/download/previews/</a>.<br>
<br>
The first page says a linux client is available to premium
and unlimited subscribers but I read on some blog post
(cannot find it right now) that the linux client also runs
on a free account.<br>
<br>
The spotify client is for debian squeeze. I am running
debian wheezy but I added the spotify repository to my apt
sources list and did an update and then install
spotify-client.<br>
<br>
Failed to install on a missing libssl0.9.8.<br>
<br>
So I temporarily added the debian squeeze repository to my
ap sources list and installed libssl0.9.8. the spotify
client then configured.<br>
<br>
Found the spotify player client in the multimedia section
and gave it a click. The program started and I logged into
my free account created under windows. Everything showed up
and I can now listen to spotify ad free without having to
run a windows vm for spotify.<span class="HOEnZb"><font
