Spotify under Wine
I am running Spotify under Wine. However, it keeps getting interrupted now and then, and I have to restart Spotify. (I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and Wine 1.2.2).
How is this fixed?
I have tried switching from the Alsa Driver
to the OSS Driver
in the Wine configurations, but then I get a message that there is no sound card found.
Are there any others options?
I forgot to add; I only have a regular Spotify account, therefore I cannot use Spotify for Linux.
There is a developing version for Linux for it here: http://www.spotify.com/int/download/previews/
It shows you step by step how to add the repository and install it.
A simple guid on how to solve "some" of the problems with Spotify is here: http://www.spotify.com/int/help/faq/wine/
And a testing done using the 1.3.x branch shows as Platinum here: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=22244
Just to add, if you are using the 1.2 Stable branch i recommend moving to the 1.3 "Unstable branch". I have been testing it for several games, office products and the likes and works much better than the Stable one.
The install guide is here thanks to Scott Ritchie: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb
If you want to know what version you have just run in the terminal wine --version
