How do I install Spotify in Ubuntu 16.04 [duplicate]

There seems to be a lot of problems with installing Spotify in 16.04. I tried this guide here to make sure I wasn't just screwing up, but it never worked. Turns out, this question is a little out-dated. To help out new users, I'll ask the question, give some information, then answer this.

I'm trying to install spotify in Ubuntu 16.04. I tried a few different guides. Here's the steps I've done in the previously mentioned guide. First, I pasted in

echo 'deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free' | sudo tee --append /etc/apt/sources.list

Then I added the key using:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 94558F59

Finally I updated and tried installing Spotify using

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install spotify-client

Solution 1:

And the answer is super simple! Everything in what you did was right except for the key you added! Replace

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 94558F59

with

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys BBEBDCB318AD50EC6865090613B00F1FD2C19886

and follow the rest of the steps the same! If you need all the updated steps, you can find them here

Solution 2:

Spotify is now available as a snap so you can find it in Ubuntu Software, or install in a terminal with one command:-

snap install spotify
