Spotify (Linux version) for OpenSUSE?

Hi!
Well win-version of Spotify runs greate in Wine, but now there is an Beta of the Linux-version and that is also working greate (On Ubuntu).
So does anyone know if it will be compiled to rpm-packages for OpenSUSE?

I second that!

That would be an excellent question to ask the folks who make Spotify. :slight_smile:

Why don’t you try to use the alien tool and convert the DEB to RPM… There is a good chance it might work ?

I guess Alien Tools must be run on Ubuntu or?
Do OpenSUSE have tools for converting from deb to rpm?

Alien is available in openSUSE - it is a simple perl script which tries to convert packages from one format to another…

Use this repo for alien: Index of /repositories/openSUSE:/11.3:/Contrib/standard

Please visit http://software.opensuse.org/search and enter “alien” as the
search term and select the version of openSUSE you’re using - you should
see that it’s in the contrib repository.

Thought I’d keep this one alive. Tried it out, but again it says it’s on the system. Now that I’ve had a look it says that is requires:rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1, rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1, config(spotify-release) = 1-1.

Any ideas?

I installed Spotify on my 11.4 box, Just not sure how to start it.

I have just installed Spotify on OpenSuse 11.4 using Crossover and it’s working fine. Just on the free version at present which means you get ads but will probably upgrade. Fantastic facility, vg sound quality and huge library.

Hi!
It’s actually really simple, at least for 11.4 . I just downloaded the Fedora version from http://repository.spotify.com/fedora/releases/14/i386/spotify-0.4.8.305.g8518eab9-1.fc13.i386.rpm

Do rpm -ihv on the package, run spotify - no flaws so far…

Hmm, I’m getting some xml-errors in the 64-bit version.

Works, but not completely.

This is the latest 64-bit version for Fedora, it works perfectly on OpenSUSE 11.4 as well: http://repository.spotify.com/fedora/releases/14/x86_64/spotify-0.4.8.305.g8518eab9-1.fc13.x86_64.rpm

It’s gone at the moment. Hope it gets back.

Anybody elses Spotify crashing?

I had originally installed via wine, and it worked like a charm… Well that is until a couple of weeks ago, now I can even get it to start; it crashes immediately after launch. Anyone else having the same problem? Any solutions?

Could you elaborate on how you managed to get this to work? The link seems to be broken (or I dont know how to use repo links)

The RPM links provided in this post no longer work. Can someone fill us in on the latest developments? The Wine version crashes on my PC.

Same problem here.

I am not able to make it work using wine, crashes at startup. I would like to have the native version working as I had when I used ubuntu but the rpm’s are not available.

Any advice?

Best.

If I were you I would download the deb packages
http://repository.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify/ and try to
convert them with alien.
