Install Spotify 0.9 on Fedora 64-bit

Install Spotify 0.9 on Fedora 64-bit

# NOTES

# Spotify 0.9 vs 1.0 is stable, uses less resources overall and works well with Spotify Connect, SpotCommander, Local Files etc
# Tested and works on Fedora 29 64-bit with GNOME, but should work on previous versions as well
# The sources of the Dropbox files, which are hosted by me and the latest and greatest available, are listed above each one
# No system files will be overwritten by these or used by other programs since they depend on the later Fedora versions
# Make sure you copy the whole lines into Terminal
# Each command is on one line and might be long

# END GUIDE

Worked!!!

this guide rocks!

👍

Almost there for F24 too, did need
$ sudo dnf copr enable red/libgcrypt.so.11
$ sudo dnf install compat-libgcrypt
as well...

So is it good for Fedora 24?

It worked but I cannot log in with facebook, it just open a firefox window (?)

Ended up having to use this to get the last piece of the puzzle but once I used that I was able to launch it just fine!

Works! tks! I was looking for it!

This is amazing, thank you

Helped a lot! Thanks!

Worked ! Fedora 24.

Thank you, Worked for me Fedora 24 !

It's work for me too Fedora 25!

works for fedora 25! Thanks

Works for Fedora 25, great job! Been trying to get spotify working on Fedora 24 & 25 but alot of bad repos, this one did the job.

Works on Fedora 25 but after it started I realised it was an older version so downloaded latest from http://repository-origin.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify-client/ and converted using alien, installed the rpm again. Started and worked perfectly. Thanks

Funciona a la perfeccion ! muchisimas gracias. Genial trabajo.
Works for Fedora 25
Saludos !

@monotok Yes, this is meant for use with SpotCommander. I am sure others would like to see your complete process for Spotify version 1.0. You can create a Gist and paste the URL here.

Needed to install compat-libgcrypt too.
First, download: https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/sgallagh/chrome-compat-libgcrypt/fedora-26-x86_64/
then # dnf install ./compat-libgcrypt-1.5.3-2.fc21.2.x86_64.rpm

@aelkz So the answer to this question is not doing that? Users above have said it works one Fedora 25, but maybe it does not on Fedora 26? It seems you are running it.

The answer is what I have in my guide.

Worked out again =) Thank you!

On fedora 27, this might be necessary

• Some modifications done
• No more not-working copr repos for specific Fedora versions - it only needs libgcrypt.so.11 anyway, extracted latest from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Updates Repository (since Ubuntu does not ship it on later versions either like Fedora)
• Local Files support with one command, extracted the 3 necessary files from spotify-ffmpeg rpm package here
• Added URL to sources of libraries for those paranoids
• The deb package has been re-packaged to work perfectly, see here for details which also makes alien now convert the postinst and prerm scripts perfectly, so no need for extra commands to add the icons and to the applications menu
• Tested and works on Fedora 29 64-bit with GNOME
